Anonymous I'm resurrecting this topic because frankly, there's nothing else on the first page worth looking at.
Aug 22nd, 2003 12:32 PM
Ninjavenom I was afraid of that. That explains the vanish of the 24 Boxed set review.
Aug 22nd, 2003 03:33 AM
whoreable Or does he mean on how the validate list there is no section for numbers? so you have to go by the id

Edit: oh i guess he doesnt have the number section on the main review page either
Aug 22nd, 2003 03:29 AM
Jixby Phillips I'm fairly certain you have to rename numbered titles so that it'll work with the alphabetizing.

Hence "24 Hour Party People" becomes "Twenty-four Hour Party People" and "2001: a space Odessy" becomes "Two-Thousand and One: A Space Odessy," etc

Ninjavenom I remember approving that one, i don't think i deleted it. Your reviews are always decent. There was another one recently with numbers at the beginning that i wasn't sure where to find. O .o

2001: A Space Odysyee(sp?) .

I wrote a review for that...and it seems to be lost in the bowels of I Mock.

McClain I remember back in the day I had this printer that you had to feed each piece of paper in to the tray by hand... Then, you had to manually direct the ink on the paper to get it to transcribe whatever you desired.

xolik-2 It could be worse. I used to have this big huge daisy wheel printer back with my old 386 system. The thing would literally rock the desk it was on back and forth when it printed. I'm very glad we don't have those around anymore.

Had the same problem. Got it to sing "daisy" while I took out it's insides. Problem solved.

Bennett It's such an obvious idea for laying down an intro beat to a song, I'm slapping myself for not thinking of it first!

I'll probably try and rip it off in some form regardless.

soundtest Whoa - they get some pretty trippy sounds out of those old beasts. And it appears to be at least somewhat funded by the Government of Canada. These guys are my new heroes!

Bennett Soundtest, you arroused my curiousity, and while I didn't find an actual band by the name of "Dot Matrix," I did find a couple of guys who made some music using the actual old printers. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it is interesting nonetheless:

Ninjavenom Sure does, Fatty. What's even stranger is that my friends always keep disappearing. O .o

FS Ninja, does it print out "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, student." when you try to leave?

I remember how the dot matrix printer was completely unsuited for printing book reports on and stuff, but I did it anyway.
Aug 21st, 2003 02:33 AM
sadie i remember ripping that stupid perforated paper with the stupid holes on the sides out of many a stupid dot matrix printer.
Aug 20th, 2003 11:17 PM
soundtest Is there a band called DOT MATRIX? If not, there should be.

At my bro's uni. they have this newly constructed "LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE" (as the sign says). I go in expecting wireless quadruple processor-terabyte-of-ram-30"LCD powerhouses... instead it is a LAN of generic DELLs with a few bubble jet printers for good measure. What a time to be alive!

Ninjavenom I thought that a Doc Boogie post didn't need to be soiled with one of my 8.71 posts per day, but what the hell.

We've got one here at school that is like astro-printer. It's half as tall as i am, and they call it HAL. It's the damndest thing, too, every time i try to leave the school in the afternoon, the doors lock shut in front of me.

Krythor I agree. It has come a long way!
Aug 20th, 2003 10:57 PM
Anonymous People, I am disppointed. I see the board filled with pointless topics, and yet when I make one, it gets only one reply. And that reply was from Mock. Come on, losers.
Aug 20th, 2003 03:45 PM
Mockery Have you finished setting the homepages of all those computers to i-mockery.com? If not, I don't wanna hear any complaints about printers from you, mister!

Computer Lab

Right now, I'm checking the boards and my email from a computer lab with three dot matrix printers that have been nonstop for the past half hour. The noise is like being in the same room with a Pendulum from Silent Hill 3.:esoteric

What point was I trying to get across in this post? Technology has come a long way.
