The new Centaur'n stuff

[Neimrok]

   I'm wondering what her tail will look like... 

You know, being the only centaur in the Attic so far, quite understandably I'm rather concerned...  :nopanic;

Hmmm, me think might be something snaky, like the top of the head.

Kianna as a Centaur now there is a thought that has potential ...

Ah, ok.  Just don't put the question mark as the first chr of a file name.  It will disappear when saved! ;o)

with m$ file sys's, its how it deletes the file.  Its still there, until it gets overwritten.  Just has the ? as its first character.   I wonder what other OS that got borrowed from?

Are you a MAC guy?  The MAC existed before MS DOS.   I figured it was just a cute elegant door stop :o\  It came with a 3.5" floppy drive.   So did my Atari 520/1040 ST fmd.  Had both models.   And a meg of ram in the 1040.  And two chip sockets under the case top that miraculously fit the pair of MAC (by then also a console) BIOS ROM chips.   $36, and an instant MAC!  There was also an adapter board that allowed use of the Color MAC chips.  Like $80 or so for instant Color MAC.  LOTS of people bought up cheaper Atari ST consoles, ran down to the MAC store and bought ROM's, and had a Color Mac for less than half the price, or so I was told.   Didn't take too long and Apple clamped down on how the ROMS were purchased.   Ya had to trade in your old roms to get the new ones.   No more instant Atari MACs.  it was fun seeing all that going on.   I liked that my 1040 STfmd could boot MS DOS floppys!  Yep it was a M68020 CPU, ran at a few Mhz, had a meg of ram.

I started with the 8 bitters (Timex, Commodore, Atari 800xl), got a Tandy 1000a then an 1000TX, then the Atari ST's, then finally got mad and built an MS DOS 2.1 80286 4 megs chip ram machine.  It was Only The Beginning Folks!  Just follow the bouncing ball!  Or was that dollar signs?
I enjoyed building my first "computer" using a Zilog Z80 with a TMS-5500 I/O chip, a telephone keypad for input and eight kinda expensive for the time LED alpha-numeric displays and 64 Bytes of static RAM and it used ML coding, Z80 Assembler straight up.  Gosh I could almost get graphics!  LOL!  See that was the goal for me.   To get HERE, NOW, with pretty decent graphics, multi monitors, and all the trimmings. 
Since I was a kid in high school, I've dreamed of making nice pictures on a Computer.  Yeah, drool drool!  Sooo here I am, making pictures!  And more input tools than I can use at any one time, nice software to play in.  Fun stuff.

Cool!  And scary!    Q from ST:TNG?

Oh, considerably more obscure than that.  In the LISP programming language, the functions that perform testing sometimes end with a Q.  As we're not supposed to post pictures with unusual file names, I usually convert, for example, Centaur? to CentaurQ.

Oh, you've inspired me, McG.

That is very cool Sir Knight....

For those inclined, it IS fun.   Even as all tastes vary by individual, same goes with these characters.  I enjoy seeing ALL of them.   I have seen that every person seems to have pretty well defined ideas of what is "Right and True" in the makeup of Centaurs.   
They are a Chimera, a physical mash up of human upper and horse lower.  For what we are calling a Felitaur, also Chimera, upper of human and one of the 5 known big cats lower.  Also called a Chakat. 

... The Life that is each of Us is a wild thing.  Our minds might put on the veneer of tame and civilized, but Life never will!

Oh, you've inspired me, McG.

LOL.....believe me....no matter the number of legs....I'd still find ways to avoid the "K" thingy....
