By looking at whenever Ron became a member, I'm assuming that was the birth of Rockpage. If it wasn't, when was it? If we missed it, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROCKPAGE!!!!! This forum rules!!!

Hey John,
That is the birthday of the current edition of Rockpage, but I actually started the site in Spring 1996.

I think I have some archives somewhere, but finding them is another story. I'll have to start searching old floppies!

I hope they're not on 5 1/4" floopy's. LOL

Yeah Bobby, N.........
ROFL

No John, they're 3 1/2's thank goodness. I threw all of my 5 1/4's away. It's tough when it takes 3 disks to hold one picture.

I remember 5 1/4 disks. The good ole days of 286's that ran completely on DOS. Good times.

I did a few animations one time on an Amiga (as Bobby was referring to) without a hard drive. I had to swap discs about every minute during production, and ended up using 39 floppies ( and a few months ) for about 3 minutes of crude, 4 bit animation. My Amiga's 3 1/2" floppies only held half as much data as today's 3 1/2" discs.

Of the two anims I did, one wasn't politically correct enough to make public, but the second, "Jeff Wallack Live", is on video tape. I'll have to try and encode it and put it up here. That's if it still plays.

My Amiga 500 is still in the attic, along with about 200 floppies.
