I don't think I've ever threaded one myself, though I do remember them in the classrooms. I recall how the end of the film would flap around when it was done. It was the teacher that touched those so we never did.

I also remember overhead projectors with transparency paper, I imagine they don't really use those anymore? I recall the really old models that were green, then they got the 3M models that were new and high tech looking. There was also another type of projector where the paper did not even have to be transparant. Even to this day I have no idea HTF that worked. Freaking voodoo magic! I guess it's something to do with bouncing light off the paper but still, how did it get such a clear image. I'm going to go with voodoo magic, just like RF. Those machines were huge and not used very often, also green. Green seems to be a classic colour for older equipment. Our DMS upstairs is green and brown. Brown is kind of the classic Northern Telecom colour.

There's mousies in the office. Listening to them chatter, and scuttle around. Just put my office food in a .50 ammo can. This place needs a cat. Well... Every place needs a cat, but this one needs it more than average.

As comp sci freshman, a group of us allnighters went to engineering computer lab, took out all the balls and left them hidden in the room. Amd left a note that they had to post "We have no balls." on their bulletin if they wanted the balls back.

There was never a note. All their mice got new balls and they glued the covers shut :biggrin:

Your idea of freshman hijinx differed from mine.

On another allnighter my buddy and I decided we need some fresh air so we went outside and started jogging a bit. Got pulled over by campus police. After some questioning about why we were there and why we were running the guy suggested I get some oxygen tank since I looked like I might pass out.

He thought we were running away from something.

I needed another new pair of pants, on sale even.
