@siringo It is Windows 1.0, from Zenith computers my college had.
Hey you couldn't run that up on something could you? I've never seen a Windows 1.0 screen.
3.0 is about where I joined the game.

You'd be done for hitting 80 down here. Loss of license on the spot, car impounded.

Practicing TCP wrapper exercise before heading to sleep.

Well, when trying this with a CentOS8 VM, I learn that TCP wrappers are now deprecated and removed (starting with Fedora 28).

80mp/h equates to 128km/h. Most state maximum speed limite are 110kmh.
Different states have different rules about when it happens, but it's entirely possible to have your car impounded, lose your licence for 6 months, and collect >$1k worth of fines all in one go, in most states and territories. After a month, when you can have your car back, you have $900 to pay in towing and storage fees.Behave yourselves on the roads.

Holy hell that's oppressive!
I just did a cross country trek and my average speed was more like 85 MPH, and I crossed 90 a few times.
sure the speed limit is 75, but meh. -
@siringo you should see how we drive in Texas... One of our toll roads is 85 mph / 137 kph (posted) and it is nothing to roll 90 to 95.

@siringo I don't have anything with 5 1/4 floppy drive anymore; was designed for I think the 286 generation of CPU. I just hold on to it for nostalgia
-
@Dashrender In Canada, as I found out the hard way, they can impound your vehicle for going over 75 mph (120km/h) on the highway; fortunately I got off with a warning at the time.

80 isn't even "fast" in most of the US. In the NYC metro, if you only go 80, you're a hazard in the way.

sure the speed limit is 75, but meh.LOL, I regularly hold "over 100" between Dallas and Houston. Remember in Texas, if there's no traffic to put in danger, the speed limit doesn't exist by law. Speed limits are to protect others only here, if you are only putting yourself at risk, it's illegal for the cops to stop you.

And believe it or not, Texans are considered "slow drivers" in the US. Coming from the northeast, it's painful how slow average traffic is in Texas. Texans drive closer to the speed limit than any other region of the country by a low shot. They have higher speed limits than most, but stay closer to them.
