funkymonkey Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 honeywell's been doin that sorta stuff since way back... i did my yr 10 work experience with em in 1996 and one day I got taken to the Governor Maquarie Tower when a new top level was being added to it, and watched these guys in Abseiling kits wire up the computer network to the building's aircon system, which was also honeywell. Apparently they do security systems, aircons, lifts, big diesel engines and turbines, and all sotsa funky shit.

Warpspeed Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 They are still made by Garrett, but Honeywell now owns Garrett. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55593-test-your-turbo-iq/page/3/#findComment-1086774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

geno8r Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Haha and I thought I was the only one old/nerdy enough to remember I'm 19 and in about grade 2 or 3 I think we had'em @ skool, we also had some old skool MACs too with Maths games, but they were colour! The only thing i remember about them honeywells is that game Ricochet & i think the library used them too to do book searches. Owww & i remember a kid in like grade 4 who had a computer at home with a full 8mb of ram... We've come a long way now seeing as i run 768 DDR. Quote Professor Frink "Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them." lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55593-test-your-turbo-iq/page/3/#findComment-1086809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revhead Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Haha memories! At school, when PCs actually became affordable enough to own, mine was a really flash one, it was an XT Turbo (a whopping 12MHz out of an 8086, up from 8MHz), 640KB RAM, 2x 5¼" floppy drives and a grey-screen CGA monitor. It was the top of the range that came with CGA, the others only had text mode... It cost around $3,000 from memory. It was later upgraded with an 8-bit ISA RLL card and 20MB hard drive. It seeked so slow you could hear the heads start then stop their movement. I also whacked a VGA card in and, dispite having about half the pins sitting on a bit of foam to stop them shorting out on the board (16 bit card in an 8 bit slot) it now had a total of 256 colours available, yay! My home PC (nothing flash, Athlon XP2100, 512MB, 100Gb etc) blows away most of the servers I used to support Actually speaking of networks, our Microbee "network" at primary school consisted of 32 (iirc) workstations all connected via their own parallel cable to the back of the server. The server was the machine with the hard drive in it, around 10MB I think. In addition to that high-tech arrangement, there were 3 (or maybe 4) Apple IIe's around the school that everyone had to share (for the river crossing game, maths stuff, or really high-tech word processing/label printing). They persisted with that setup until around 1994 I think, well after I left, as I kept getting calls about it until then. But umm... I think we're getting a bit off topic here. Did I mention I got a 12? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/55593-test-your-turbo-iq/page/3/#findComment-1087161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
