You spent the day in Albuquerque... I hope you were here on business because I cant think of any reason to vacation here. I find if your considering taking a vacation to a Mexico you should aim for the original one the souvenirs are better..

Anyways I usually enjoy trips to the local history museum they have a good variety of exhibits, and they do some killer shows inside the planaterium.

haha no i wish i was just vacationing here lol i live in edgewood...

In that case I highly recommend that you check out Friday Night Fractals some time. I know it sucks a bit to drive 45 mins for a 50 min show but its a killer performance inside of the planetarium. Their using a beastly rig to drive like 6 high res projectors live rendering fly troughs of 3d fractals onto the dome.

ill have to drag my wife to that next week thanks for the info=)

here is what that telex disk ran in lol hard to believe we can fit like a 100 of these in storage size in our pockets now in a flash drive lol.

How much storage space was on that Telex disk?

jazon1 · May 27, 2012

i tried to find out but i guess they didn't calculate size the same back then they didnt use bit's they counted characters as storage size lol. here is the label that was on it the picture was fuzzy but still readable
