Jags, the servers are good sometimes
What is this website hosted on, an IBM PC-XT with a 300 baud dial up modem? Its performance on game day is beyond embarrassing.

I think it's powered by a hamster on a wheel.

Meanwhile… Remember the Shad press conferences with the Urban and Doug hirings?
Shad hires Urban- I got it right !
Shad hires Doug- No now I got it right this time. 1 year early.
Pure comedy.

Dawg. They’re fired after London.
Press and Doug gone. Hopefully Baalke too.
They should be. But I just can’t be confident in that happening with Shad

I realized after posting that many of our younger posters might not understand this reference. The PC-XT was IBM's inaugural model with a whopping 128k of RAM and a 10 meg hard drive. Released in 1983. 300 baud modem was the way users would connect to a service like AOL or Yahoo, or some other mainframe or minicomputer. The whole point here was that it was dog slow by todays standards, but much faster than a calculator back then.

I remember when I started college my calculus teacher required the class to buy a Texas Instrument 83 (TI-83). The thing cost like 80 bucks at the time! Which to my poor [BLEEP] sounded extravagant. But it was the coolest calculator I'd ever seen.
I think that's what the servers are running on...

My kids need those calculators next year and the damn things still cost almost $100

Seriously, they're still using those calculators?!?! I went to college back in the late 90s!!!! They were good calculators. They can't be using them in college, though? Are they for high school calculus?

Shucks, the TI-55 was so advanced when I went to college it had its own course.

Absolutely. My uncle was instrumental in the development of the TI-55. So much so that NASA hired him. My mom used to complain that she was paying for her son to learn what her brother helped develop.
I dunno, I know this is pretty silly but I some but not to me. I am seriously debating on not being a Jags fan anymore. The poor showing over the last 2 seasons has been the norm but and you can laugh if you want BUT I became a fan of this team when I was a kid. My dad wanted to get me into football but I didn't know the teams and I felt like I was behind everyone else trying to learn. When the Jags were announced my dad showed me 2 new teams coming into the league. I saw my chance to become a fan from the start rather than 50 years after the team became a team. I picked the Jags because of their colors and only because of their colors, I was just a kid after all.
Anyways the black and white uniforms are ugly and I'm pretty sure we've wore them 4 out of 5 weeks this year. The Jaguars are teal and should always have teal. So poor showing plus moving away from why I started watching them in the first place has me bummed, but I am loyal...ugh

If you've been following the Jags since the start, you know this isn't the lowest point.

It's crazy how much of the history of computer development isn't learned by lay people.
My dad, rest is soul, talked to me for hours about how he developed the first computers using punch cards during my freshman calculus class. After I bought that TI-83 I was complaining about how hard it was to understand it's functions. He was a PhD in economics, and back in the 60s and even early 70s he was programming code with freaking punch cards in Bowling Greene and New Mexico. His advice was basically to quit my [BLEEP] about the calculator and just learn how to use it, which I eventually did. Once I figured out how to use it, the thing was truly amazing. The way you could zoom in and zoom out of different formulas was mesmerizing to me at the time.
LOL, I miss him every day. He was a hard [BLEEP], but he always had such a great of way of explaining things to inspire me. I just hope my son can get that same thing from me. Sometimes I don't think I'm as good as he was.
