A friend of mine in High School used to write phrases on our computer room chalkboard in binary.

He stopped when I was able to walk in moments after he was done and translate all of it.

Man that has been quite a long time now.

I wonder how fat a dictionary would be printed in binary

Primary/Elementary School days for me.

Did you learn it at school? Our IT lessond at school were basically just microsoft office tutorials ha

nah at my school it was the shitty computers that my Library had that they won't shutdown properly after you told Windows to Shut Down and to Shut it down is to press the power button for 5 seconds to turn it off. My school IT, we didn't have an IT subject until when I was in Grade 6 which was in 2009 and all we did was Pivot animations and learning how to touch type quickly with 'The sly fox jumped over the lazy dog' as far as I can remember.

Edit* Also making movies with Windows Movie Maker that all that we were taught and our IT teacher was this tomboyish mean/strict Assistant Principle that was called Ms Harris

Ah, memories.

I hate to say this but some of the programs we use at my work are so old they run on one computer under Win 95 dos and I see that screen every day (still) when switching off. For the most part it plays ball, we know when some one has turned of the machine by the switch because it has to run scan disk in the morning.

i miss this screen lol

if the dictionary was written in english/european characters then 9x bigger and each single character would expressed as 8 ones or zeros with a space for separation, ok i know that the ascii standard chart only goes up to decimal 127 so we can describe the letters plus standard punctuation in 7 bits but 7bit processors haven't been a thing since the 60s and only a couple of weird university mainframes in england had them.

Ok where did i leave my meds.

Also I remember having to remember to run a special util that parked the disk's heads safely before switching off or the heads would crash.
