Such a weird thing to say … when I was little ('70s) it was not uncommon for kids to swim nude, we didn’t care… Any adults who are ogling kids aren’t going to stop just because of one layer of clothing.

I don’t think that’s accurate… Of course it’s possible I’m misremembering something from 35+ years ago, but there’s no performance benefit for 14 bits over 16- either way, it’s a 2-byte fetch, you don’t save anything by leaving off two bits. So I’d almost believe it was 8-bit rather than 16, but the difference in sound quality is huge, and the Amigas had a 16-bit data bus so 16-bit fetches took no more effort than 8-bit. The sample rate I’d be more likely to believe I had wrong, but again, there are technical reasons for the 44.1 kHz rate that have to do with recording digital audio to videotape, so I could see it being half that, but not some random number. But again, huge sound quality difference between 44.1 and 22.05.

All that said, I’m not too familiar with the 1000, I had the 500 which was basically the same machine as the 2000 but in a more compact case. My uncle had a 1000, but he used it professionally so he wouldn’t let me near it :D

I don’t remember at this point… So I googled, this looks familiar: http://smallvoid.com/article/dos-multiple-configurations.html

I built a config.sys file with a menu that then passed the menu choice on to autoexec.bat so I could choose at boot time between 3 configurations- one with expanded memory for older games that required it, one with extended memory for everyday use and newer games, and one with everything extra (including CD-ROM drivers) stripped away to maximize free conventional RAM for the one or two games that needed that…

At the same time, the Commodore Amiga had built-in stereo 44.1kHz 16-bit sound…

The only question is, one at a time, or all at once?

Fatass here- the second part doesn’t require the first part.

What if your wife already won’t have sex with you? Asking for a friend…

This is why we base scientific words on Latin - dead language doesn’t change.

Here in the desert, we wash our cars in hopes that will make it rain…

Equal opportunity for molestation…

Most bears would prefer to be left alone… Or fed stale donuts and marshmallows if you have any.

If a bear fucks you up then people are gonna blame the bear, no question.

Not true at all. If I hear about someone being mauled by a bear, literally my first thought is “what did you do to provoke the bear?”.

I dunno, I’m ok with being considered less favorable than a bear… They’re so cuddly.

Your dick is literally inches from your shit hole, and festers in your underwear most of the day. Wash your hands, you filthy swine.

Earth only really loses it if it reaches escape velocity, otherwise it’s still part of our gravity well… So basically, a handful of probes…

Actually you can.

When I am shopping for a new TV or something that needs a bit of research, I have no problem being sold to.

I have a problem with it- if I’m shopping, I want to know the technical differences between stuff, all advertising tells you is “ours is better because {indecipherable technobabble}” that can’t be verified because it’s essentially non-existent outside of that company’s marketing materials.

Rubber duck? I hardly know her!
