Collection of Science Jokes P2

In summary: Usually it's been commentated as being 'real'. Actually the joke dates back to the 30's and whether it's real or not cannot be said anymore.

The equations are true only for x=0.

Why do mathematicians struggle with particle physics?

They think all neutral particles are the same.

Every time I see one of those, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that DOS - which I was required to load every time I opened the computer - was holding on a single floppy and I had a functional computer. Now, to get my functional computer, I need Windows, that would require something like 30 000 floppies! Imagine loading that every time you open the computer!

And I remember I worked on a machine, that had a button which allowed to boost it from 35Mhz to fantastic 60MHz ...

I remember when getting it to run reliably at 4.77MHz sometimes required that my wife enter the bootstrap code on the front panel switches. SOmetimes I just could NOt get it right!

EDIT: Arrgh, guess I haven't improved much...

What was really fantastic is that it was called the turbo button! Before you pushed the button, you felt like a race car driver that would barely hold this powerful beast on the track. After pushing the button and noting no differences, you pushed it again, wondering if it was working.

Don't forget 8" floppy disks, one of which is shown here on the left. Back in the mid-80's, the college where I worked bought proprietary word processing systems for the division secretaries. These systems consisted of dedicated hardware with an 8" floppy disk drive.
My first computer, an Apple //e I bought in 1981, had two 5-1/4" drives. As I recall, each diskette could hold a whopping 160 KB of data.

I even know what that blue thing is for. Is it normal that I don't feel old?
