[julian]

the expression on that guys face says my drop catching isnt going to well"

 

[monaghan]

Doesn't look like the tape's loaded properly and the room doesn't look much like a proper computer room, perhaps that's the problem

That's Jay and Nominet's hardware resources in 1996. From small beginnings...

What is the DAC? *Hey you only know what you know right*

 

[scooter]

The cat's out of the bag for all us non catchers.

You hand write the names on a slip of paper and insert into the top right of the machine and if the dac gods are with you, the caught names appear on a slip at the exit sign.

The 'DAC' is addressed by the leader tape for those reels. The blank part.

Ah right... much clearer now

The tapes are just a guise to throw us off.
I know its 10cc on one and Boney M on the other.

Neat outfit. You even get to sit down and watch Tomorrows World while it goes to work.

When did they upgrade from paper tape? I've spent hours on my teletype preparing tapes and posting them to arrive in time for the 99 day deletion date, perhaps that explains why someone else gets all those LLL.co.uk's I submit on paper tape

Time to buy a proper tape for my computer!

Makes you wonder what all the other space is for!

 

[retired_member16]

Is that the Nominet office in Oxford? Not very big is it?

Where do they house their servers?

 

[retired_member3]

So if I sit outside with my laptop and get a wireless signal, will that improve my chances if I run my dac script from the laptop?

You need to park in the "Reserved for Catching" bays in order to be in range of the WiFi link
