1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Oh ! I awarded him that ages ago - at least he has an excuse living in a different time zone - mine was unadulterated ineptitude

Looks like you have an incomplete download, there must be many packages missing, check your connection.

I remember a contract I had in the early nineties where I had to download banking data from mainframe tapes onto a pc, we had to buy a large scsi disk ( probably 1gb I can't remember) to store it on - the cost was eye watering even then.

When I first started as a mainframe operator in the 60s we did not have network or even modem communication. We had to exchange data between our two centres (Manchester & Hemel Hempstead) on physical media. So every night we would dump a load of data on a set of magnetic tapes, put the tapes in a taxi and send them on their way. The other centre did the same, and the taxis met somewhere around Birmingham, and exchanged cargoes. They would then drive back to their respective centres and hand us the new tapes for processing. All in all, a brilliant solution.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway...

I'm not sure our taxis actually hurtled back in those days, more a sedate progress.

My first hard drive was one I bought for my first computer - Amstrad 1640.
It cost more than the computer did, and was a massive 32MB (and so fast - av Seek time of 25ms if I was lucky!)
Compared to the twin floppies it replaced though ... it was just so wonderful.

I also had one of those, couldn't believe how much free space I had to play with.

Yep. But most of my games still needed the floppies for copy protection reasons ...
