That a bit cruel Noel, he speaks very highly of you!
I am sure my mother still has a bottle of ENO in the cupboard. I wonder how he feels about this.
Pete
Famous?
Doesn't that imply that everybody would know of him?
I don't remember the name at all.
Course, that could be a function of age too.
I'll ask a question.
About 30/35 years ago when computers were just coming in Dick Smith sold a magical brand of computer.
For 23 points. What was the name of the computer, what was the standard memory for that computer, what was it's processor and how much did it cost? Oh, and how big was it's hard drive? :)
Dick Smith Wizzard
1kb of RAM
8-bit Rockwell 6502A CPU
FIIK
Sorry silent, that is not the magical one that I am thinking of.
Remember again.
Come on, you can't get much more magical than a Wizzard!!
Not much more magical no, but think synonyms.Quote:

Nope, not the system 80, that was a sort of do-it-yourself computer.
This was a proper full blown computer SYNONYMOUS with a wizard.
Some synonyms of wizard are:
1. (2) ace, adept, sensation, maven, virtuoso, genius, hotshot, star, whiz, whizz, wizard, wiz -- (someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field)
2. magician, wizard, necromancer -- (one who practices magic or sorcery)
Don't forget the Microbee.Quote:

People like Brian Eno Bob, founding member of Roxy music, father of electronic ambiance, producer, performance artist and keyboard genius who has collaborated with some of the worlds best contemporary musicians, - not staring at black screens with green square lettering.:D
Well OK I did do a bit of that too, whilst listening to music.:2tsup:
That is really weird. Just as I read you post, "A New Career in a New Town" came on. As you know, that's off Low, which was a Bowie album that Eno features heavily on.
Early Talking Heads were produced by Brian Eno, he became the '5th' Talking Head in the same way George Martin was the '5th' Beetle.
Eno also produced U2.
I don't have Low but I have Heroes which is great.(On vinyl and I no longer have a turntable:( ) any way Heroes, Low and ....what was that album that was the other Berlin recordings.Quote:

Berlin on the other hand was FAN BLOODY TASTIC. my wife didn't even like him before but came away saying it was the best concert she had ever been to.
A very special event that was, especially as now I can play my old Velvets and Lou Reed records when she's in the house.
Just have to work on Frank Zappa next.
The other Berlin album is Lodger, which happens to be one of my favourites...
Right up there with the Hills Hoist, the Triton and the Victa Mower as Australian designs.:rolleyes:Quote:

No HDD - used a tape recorder at 300 baud and took 45 minutes to load in a 16K program.
It used an 8088 processor and cost $2000 that long (30 - 35 years) ago.
The price of computers hasn't dropped in that time, you just get a hell of a lot more for your money now.
OK I have a question to wake this thread up.
1. What is the name of the famous singer/songwriter that published a novel that explored the life of Catherine Tekakwitha.....well kind of.
2. Name the title.
3. What was monosyllabalic name of the narraters friend in the novel?
Geez Bleeding!
Too esoteric, but I replied anyway just to keep it alive.
Simple answer from me.......
Dunno!
Regards,
Noel
He's Canadian...Jewish......his music has been jokingly described as needle music.
