Ahh, the "good old days"... ;)

Remember when programs came printed out as pages and pages of numbers in a magazine that you then keyed in to "load" it?

PS:How's that Joystick module coming along Michael?

I had it on this fabulous computer Amstrad!!! (undestructible machine)
Never touched since 25 year :)
But I am sure that it works again like a charm!

Ah... and where are they now? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Great stuff!

He even had a stereoscopic virtual reality 3D display system just a little bit after that as well.

Yes, loads of error checking fun!


I remember entering numbers for drawing 2d objects, like three coordinates and a color value for a triangle .

Look: a green triangle, it's that simple!!!

Nice try buddy with the shifty ad, you'll have to do better than that to suck the people in on this forum.
.....wasn't this the same guy as last time Michael ?

Hi Danny, actually in this case I think it's not quite like that even though it looks like it.

I thought so too and I checked but the above seems to be an actual user who has posted a couple of other questions before.

Actually the best thing for any ads or spam anyway is to just please not respond to them, just try to ignore any posts that you think may be spam or advertisements. That helps to make them have the least impact on the forum.

So far they've been pretty few and far between which I'm certainly glad about.

Well......my apologies to HarryDsouza I guess, but I still feel the forum was used for free advertising for services, If it was for software that would compliment MoI or the company uses MoI then yes, I would see it appropriate and relative.

@ HarryDsouza does your company use MoI for modeling ?

The part that looks particularly spammy was meant to be a signature, but there is an extra checkbox you have to set if you want to have HTML code in a forum "signature" thing that is appended to your posts automatically. I've set that for him now so the next time should not look quite like that.

Also people who don't speak English as their native language can sometimes phrase things in a way that potentially conveys some other meaning than what they actually intended.
