      I've been programming since the late 80's. I can remember setting the time on my parent's VHS so they could record a TV show.

      I can't believe I've been leaving that off my resume all these years!

        That's nothing, in the old days we used to program using analogue turn dials! That's when the hard core programmers were still around. You young whipper snappers have it easy with your buttons and digital displays.

            We used to have them like this. Look at those complex dials! Only an expert could cook like this.

                              I would murder for a programmer who can install ink / paper into a printer.

                                        Yes sir. If you know anything about audio, go read through that site. He thinks "biamped" speakers are equivalent to redundant servers / HA. If this asshole had ever walked into Guitar Center and tried to claim any of his BS while I was working, there would have been literal bloodshed... like a tripod mic stand across the skull, then up the ass. While I never ran into Curtis level incompetence in those days, our trouble customers were pretty much verbally abused until they started shopping elsewhere.

                                          Wait, a Yamaha Pacifica is not comparable to a Fender? But I was told so !!111

                                          In fact, I do have a friend who's profession is to plan professional stage installations. Like audio, visuals, effects and so on 😉

                                            http://www.djfixxx.com/index-old.htm this is... The Hague. We need The Hague.

                                            Wait, this is Curtis' page?

                                            Yes sir. If you know anything about audio, go read through that site. He thinks "biamped" speakers are equivalent to redundant servers / HA. If this asshole had ever walked into Guitar Center and tried to claim any of his BS while I was working, there would have been literal bloodshed... like a tripod mic stand across the skull, then up the ass. While I never ran into Curtis level incompetence in those days, our trouble customers were pretty much verbally abused until they started shopping elsewhere.

                                            Wait, a Yamaha Pacifica is not comparable to a Fender? But I was told so !!111

                                            In fact, I do have a friend who's profession is to plan professional stage installations. Like audio, visuals, effects and so on 😉

                                            Make a reaction video of your friend reading from Curtis' website.
