Just a little humor

"A guy goes to the doctor and says, 'Hey doc, I think I'm going deaf.' Doctor says, 'Oh, that's really unfortunate. Can you describe the symptoms for me?' Guy says, 'Yeah, Homer is a fat yellow man and Marge has blue hair.'"

Took me longer than that, even while I was multi-tracking discontent over the premise: "A priest, an imam, and a rabbit ...". A RABBIT? A RABBIT !! what a stupid premise
Then I got it.


What do you get when you cross an elephant and a rhino?

Anyone here actually ever try it?
I used to do lots of video work, going back to the Amiga and Video Toaster in the 1980s.
It was difficult back then." R5 #1,249

The software varies widely.
I came close to trying A.I. a month ago when you and I discussed the Trabant.
I thought of creating an A.I. image of a Trabant doing aerobatics. BUT !
There were strings attached. So no.

As you know, hardware evolution has caused a revolution.
I got my first desktop PC in 1981, when the industry standard for RAM was 64K.
The PC I'm using now has a million times more.

This PC has four 1080HD TV tuners. It can simultaneously record 4 different 1080HD television broadcasts, stores them to a dedicated HDD.
There's TV series, movies, nature, science, & politics documentaries / news events. Commodore can't cram that on a cassette.

Compare the size of one of these:

Gigastone 512GB Micro SD Card, Camera Plus, GoPro, Action Camera, Sports Camera, A1 Run App for Smartphone, Nintendo-Switch Compatible, 100MB/s, 4K Video Recording, Micro SDXC UHS-I A1 U3 Class 10​

with a VHS cassette.
- stupendous -

The hardware guys are way ahead of the software guys.

The first computer I had was a Timex Sinclair with 2k of memory.
Then a CBM 64, with 64k of memory.

Did you use them to run commercial software? Not sure what software it could run.

My IBM PC may have had an 8088 processor (same as NASA's space shuttles iirc) & 128k RAM, & two sloppy-disc drives, 5.25" 360K capacity.
It ran Sargon III to play chess on an ASCII display screen.
I bought it with Easy Writer word processing software, but upgraded to Word Proof.

We've come a long way since then.

Not sure this'll interest you, but a few years ago I read there are more transistors on Earth than there are leaves on trees.
Tricking rocks into doing our thinking for us, good idea.
