Great Böker, is that a Medium one or the larger type? Some fine Stag too.

Thanks, Will

nice friction folder. 😁👍
Does it ... lemmy rephrase the question ... Do paring knives attempt (and fail) to imitate the cutting and slicing ability of it, like they do with Opinel and MAM?

Having ended the experiment and going back to my sinfull ways as an incurable knife knut, I have my daily rotation with me. In addition to my ever present Wenger SI in its belt pouch with the LED light, I have my old yellow peanut back in my right pocket. My classic is back on my keyring, and I feel like all is back as it should be. And in memory of my dear old Uncle Paul, I even tucked a very old Christy knife in my tobacco pouch, just in case.

What are you guys carrying today?

20MB hard drive?!? 2MB RAM? Huge. (at the time)
I remember Billie Gates saying in an interview, in 88 or 89 (quote): "No one needs more than 64KB of RAM!" (end quote)
A couple months later his Microsoft brought out the first version of Windows, which made the boss' earlier statement a lie.

I think my first computer, back in 1983, had 256K of RAM, and a floppy drive. Hard drives were for rich people. My first pocket knife, however, back in 1962, was a three blade Case stockman and it would still be enough knife for me .............................. if'n I wasn't a knifeaholic. 😊

I like these Morris friction folders. I remember walking to the store with tv tubes to test. And not only getting up to change the channel but we had a TV that seemed to require constant adjustment of the horizontal hold. Most abodes had a big TV antenna on the roof. Good times.

I've always liked the design, and that's a nice size :) I was quite surprised to see them at the English knife fair Johnnythefox Johnnythefox attended recently :cool: :thumbsup:

The first home computer here was the Sinclair ZX81, which had 81 bytes! :D A friend had an early memory stick, in the 90's, the techies he worked alongside were all amazed by it, it was 1MB :D

In the 80s during university for my Engineering degree I had to use a commodore VC 64 which had exactly 64KB total. Half of that was used for the OS and the text program. That left approximately 30KB for the text itself which left me with a very fragmented text to be saved on an external 540 KB drive. If I remember correctly it was ~6 pages of text per file so roughly 25 text files. If I went for more pages it created a storage overflow and the whole text entered was lost.

Nowadays nobody cares about file size or stuff like that.
