computers make me crazy V5.6.7

[janetg]

ha, the V5.6.7 is like how many times i have rebuilt my computer. no. V7 is on it's way (i'm just going to plain skip version 6).

this is really befuddling me..i disconnect an external drive labeled G: and my operating system disappears...

weirdness.

anyway- going to frys later today, build a new one, with an i7 on a gigabyte ud3R motherboard...8gb's of ram and all new hd's...i'm excited.

hope it works...haha

LoL -
FYI the first true digital camera was invented in '75 at Kodak's Rochester Research plant.
I saw it in '77 during my senior year at RIT.
No one at that time drew the line from digital camera to desktop computer
and really did not start till mid 90's.
It's been quite a career ...

Early digital development

The concept of digitizing images on scanners, and the concept of digitizing video signals, predate the concept of making still pictures by digitizing signals from an array of discrete sensor elements. Eugene F. Lally of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory described a mosaic photosensor for use as a star sensor for measuring the altitude of a spacecraft at a 1961 space conference. At Philips Labs. in NY Edward Stupp, Pieter Cath and Zsolt Szilagyi filed for a patent on "All Solid State Radiation Imagers" on Sept. 6, 1968 and constructed a flat screen target for receiving and storing an optical image on a matrix composed of an array of photodiodes connected to a capacitor to form an array of two terminal devices connected in rows and columns. Their US patent was granted on Nov. 10, 1970. Texas Instruments engineer Willis Adcock designed a filmless camera and applied for a patent in 1972, but it is not known whether it was ever built. The first recorded attempt at building a digital camera was in 1975 by Steven Sasson, an engineer at Eastman Kodak. It used the then-new solid-state CCD image sensor chips developed by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1973 {my first company}.
It had Motorola logic boards {my second company}. The camera weighed 8 pounds (3.6 kg), recorded black and white images to a cassette tape, had a resolution of 0.01 megapixels (10,000 pixels), and took 23 seconds to capture its first image in December 1975. The prototype camera was a technical exercise, not intended for production but it was what switched me from fashion photography to photomask engineering.
Photomask is the 2nd major step of 4 in the long process of microelectronic devices.
This all started the digital revolution we are apart of.
Tell me about it ...

huh?
