Hi,
Here's a rather amusing story that just goes to show you don't need to have any knowledge of computers and yet still get a top score!
My Mum was walking to the shops, and found a file of random PC parts dumped on the side of the road. She was carrying shopping but grabbed "two cards in the nice silvery bags that I know means they're new", and took them home. She described the cards to me on the phone as such; I half expected a 256K VGA ISA card or Sound Blaster 16.
Not so! I turned up for lunch today and smiled:
- Radius Turbo601 66Mhz (not sure for what - believe most were for IIci? Which I don't have - but tempted to try in my SE/30, IIfx - maybe)
- Radius Videovision NUBUS card with memory expansion board (840AV here we come!)
We went back to the spot, but it was just boxes - she said there wasn't anything else there of interest. No breakout box for the Videovision unfortunately.
So, what have your parents/significant others found for you?
