Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 06, 2025

I remember an episode of CSI:NY that used the premise of DNA from a factory worker that made cotton swabs.

Wish I had kept my IMSAI 8080. And my teletype. And my five inch floppy drives.

Wife just put together an Ikea dresser. There is some unique gadgetry to prevent tip over. It was a rare event to hear my beloved curse like a sailor. Just like me and the gasoline cans that spill because they have antidexturious spill prevention spouts…..

I used to build Apples and Apple IIs. 48k of ram upgraded to 64k…

107 square feet ? Sounds more like a prison cell.

Apples and pears, up the stairs.

The price for the Apple-1 computer in 1976 was $666.66!

Was the employee fired for not being sterile.

In the 80’s, I built a 286 from parts. It had 4 MB of RAM. The guy at the computer shop said “4 MB is all the memory you’ll ever need”. My i5 i just put together has 32 GB.

I spent my one year tour in Korea in a room approximately 100 sq ft. The bathroom and showers were down the hall.

That room is 10.7 feet by 10 feet. I see stairs, how tall is it?

How many killers remained on the loose, while the police spent all their time looking for the nonexistent serial killer? That’s the scariest part of it.

I became an early adopter of microcomputers in the Eighties and still using them daily at age 72.

I’ll sell my old Apple computer for $500.00 plus shipping.

$0.86 or 141 Yen

Religion fiction and science religion have emerged from science fiction and religion science.

Still have my Vic 20 and my Commodore 64 with original boxes, literature, tape drive, two disk drives, hand scanner, joy stick (before mouse) , monitor, dot matrix printer, extra memory cards, etc. Any computer clubs interested. Also floppies both blank and subscription games, and magazines.

The Q-Tip killer!

Recycled from 4 years ago?

I’ve owned dozens, literally, of Macs since 1984. Quite a collection I have. Couldn’t be any happier!
