Ha ha! You guys are too funny!
I worked in the first ever micro pc lab at the dept mathematics at the University of Calif in Santa Barbara in 1979, and we had some Apple II's ... we had 4k RAM. I programmed a DEC PDP11 in Fortran that year using punch cards and then later got to Pascal with 12" floppies!
My own first PC was an Apple II compatible that I switched to a 128k Mac in 1984 - the first one that had evereyone's initials on the inside chassis. I bought a custom made torque screw driver and updated it myself to a Fat Mac (512k) and later to a Plus (1 MB). Moved to Sweden and had a problem with the power source and took it to a shop I knew. Bent down to pull out my USA power converter and before I got it out I shouted as the tech plugged my Mac Plus into Swedish 220. There went my board in a whoosh of sparks and smoke. Later that year on assignment for Swedish Telecom, I worked in Mtn View at Northern Telecom and a guy went by with a cart with a huge box on top. When I asked what it was, he told me a portable hard drive... 20 MB! That was spring of 1986...
Good times... tell me more of yours...
But does anyone know if Moodle sets a limit on nr chars in the comment field... now that we know what is likely the database's limit depending on the field type?
Thanks guys for the smiles you evoked...
