      My first was a trs-80, had a sinclar 1000 as well. Use to walk to the library to use a PET ;)

      Back in the days of where you use to connect the phone handset into the modem... And you could type faster than the modem could handle..

        I've been running *a nix for 30 years; familiar with progress I am, understand the Netgate reasoning I do, but caught in a bind I be. 2.4.4p3 is still supported

        I say I'm sorry... 😉

        Yeah, my first *nix was Tandy Xenix on a TRS-80 Model 16 (68000 processor); it was actual real Unix as ported by Microsoft and Tandy.

        I didn't read it carefully enough, that you use the previous version as a "springboard" for installation, 2.4.5-p1

        Right; I had no intention of staying on the old version, just boot to it and update. I had to do the same thing with CentOS 8 on a much newer server that still didn't like the USB stick for some reason; 8.2 fits on a DVD-DL but 8.3 doesn't. So I'll boot 8.2 and install, and then immediately upgrade to 8.3.

        It’s good to hear that there are still people who selflessly help the other. PEACE 👍

          I moved twice in the last 2 years. Almost nothing "vintage" survived.

          I did just find a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 in a box though. ;)

            hey, well try this today,....through these FTTH, DOCSIS, IPoE, etc

            but we must be able to type faster, we have been learning for a long time...

            so, we are no longer "chickens" which is born today....
            it’s good to know that these old stuff was everywhere in the world :)

                these stuff (C64 / I. and II.) survived, because they "live" in my parents house... :)

                      While I know this is an old thread, I'm posting this note here anyway.....

                      The new 2.5.1 ISO will in fact FIT on a CD again. Thanks guys!

                        Yup, I bunch of stuff was removed. Also means the memstick images still fit on my 1GB pfSense branded USB drives. Yay. 😁

                            Are there any computers that can't boot from USB, but can still run a current version of pfsense? I thought it has been 64 bit only for a while and any 64b computer should be able to boot from USB.

                              My first computer was an IMSAI 8080, which predated the Sinclair, Trash 80, Apple II, PET, etc.. I got mine in Nov. 1976. I still have a USR Courier dual standard modem. My first modem was a 300 baud manual, which my wife insisted I get after I showed her the Adventure game on a VAX 11/780 at work. She asked if she could play it on my IMSAI. I said no, but if we had a modem...

                                More than a year later and this thread is still alive with great stories of people's computing adventures. All because someone highlighted the problem with putting pfsense on a CD. Awesome! Keep it going!

                                  Well, if we're talking Adventures, we can talk about that game with the twisty tunnels and dwarfs. 😉

                                  Here's something else from my deep, dark past. This is a core memory plane from a Collins computer. It's 4 K bits and 32 were stacked in a memory module, with 4 modules in a computer. This was taken from a system that was scrapped at work.

                                  And here we have a genuine Morse sounder which I salvaged from a company office in Geraldton, Ontario, back in 1977. It would have been installed in the mid '30s, when the town was created to service a gold mine.

                                  I suppose I could tell you about a vacuum tube based computer I used to work on in the old Toronto Stock Exchange building.

                                  Or about how I started my career in telecom by overhauling Teletype machines.

                                    @jknott not going to lie, I hadn't seen some of those things before myself. And here I was feeling old because my kids asked me the other day how a rotary phone worked...

                                      I can top that. When I was very young, we lived in a small farming community where the phones didn't have a dial. You picked up the receiver and told the operator who you wanted to talk to. A bit later we moved to another town where we had 5 digit dialing and I remember when we got 7 digit. Many years later I wound up in Armstrong, Ontario with my work shortly after they moved from 2 to 5 digit dialing. Incidentally, shortly after starting with that employer, they shut down their last revenue Morse wire, in Northern Quebec. Many of the older techs I used to work with had to learn the railway Morse code. I learned International Morse, to get my Amateur Radio Licence, but never saw Morse at work.

                                      BTW, the U.S. Air Force had a radar station in Armstrong, but it was shut down shortly before I arrived there.

                                        @jknott I was disappointed when I found out that Morse isnt even required for an amateur radio license in the US anymore. When all the satellites get fried, all we'll have are dits and dats.

                                          That's progress. A lot of services have dropped it. The old claim that Morse always gets through when other modes don't no longer holds, as it's now possible to receive digital signals below the noise level, with proper processing. When I started working with those Teletypes, some ran as slow as 45.4B. These days, I have a 500/20 Mb Internet connection at home.

                                            Yes, the Dell SC1425 I'm working on has trouble with USB booting and only has a CD drive. Fully 64-bit, even though it's old.
