  • Anyone here old enough to remember these?

    Found these old dongles at the bottom of one of my PC gear boxes. I used to have a little shelf at the back of my pc to put them all on
    Ahh, good times

      I had the same collection and I'd also made a shelf to put them all on without them falling off.
      I also remember a compatibility problem depending on the order in which they were installed.
      What a time!​

      Let's talk about 5"1/4 floppy disks, Zip and Jazz drives... ??

                  He he, I started on IBM 8086 with two 128Kb floppy drives, one for OS other one for work. There was so much radiation from the monitor, that they'd supplied a lead apron to protect pregnant women

                        Yes I Remember,

                        I had the those for 3D-Studio and AutoCAD. I started my rendering career with AutoCAD10 Autoshade and then moved to 3D-Studio, when it came available. I also have V-Ray dongle somewhere.

                        Autodesk Animator anyone?
