jt2003 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The first personal computer we had was the TRS-80. Then there was the Amiga. But during my college days, we never really handled computers. We just filled out those sheets and had them keypunched at the UP Computer Center. I'm pretty sure that my daughters would laugh their heads off when they learn of how things were done in the old days. Quote Link to comment
willow_boy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) I didn't have my own computer until I started working after college. During my college days, I had a classmate who had an Apple Mac computer and we always went to her place to do school projects. When I was in college, the computer we used in school had cassette tape drives instead of floppy drives. How ancient! Edited December 17, 2006 by willow_boy Quote Link to comment
Mandrake Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Pareng Mandrake, If I remember right, wasn't their execution broadcast live on radio? It was splashed everywhere both in print and broadcast. The Subic rape case pales in comparisonto the celebrated Maggie dela Riva case considering the magnitude of the violence inflicted on afamous celebrity at that time. It was Judge Lourdes San Diego who handed the death sentence. Quote Link to comment

gonefishing Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 There's one alleged drug dealer shot by military firing squad at Fort Bonifacio.....his name is Lim Seng. It was broadcast on national television. The guy was not a real drug dealer but was executed only to scare Ninoy Aquino. Aquino's death sentence was handed down by the military tribunal as soon as the poor guy got shot. Marcos was forcing a negotiated settlement with Ninoy and he thought executing somebody would scare Ninoy. Ninoy was executed anyhow, and in broad daylight in the middle of the airport some years later. Quote Link to comment

Also, i remember watching the execution on TV parang wala akong nakitang dugo na lumabas sa kanyang katawan after allegedly being hit by a bullet. Quote Link to comment

It was martial law and the whole thing was in our language just "palabas". Nobody knows what really happenned because Marcos has the full control of the media. Marcos believes in Goebbels dictum that if you repeat a lie a thousand times, it will become the truth. Marcos was trying to convince Aquino to join his government as head of a toothless council of adviser along with Cardinal Sin, Enrile and Imelda. He was using the carrot and stick approach and killing a poor chinese guy was probably the stick. If I remember during the same period, there was also an assasination attempt against Imelda. In front of national TV, one guy just came with a knife tried to k*ll her. After that, she became govermnor of Metro Manila. You know why there are MMDA all around giving traffic tickets instead of just the local cops. Blame the guy with the knife. Quote Link to comment
