As you know, here’s some old farts around here.
No, I’m not a pioneer at IBM. In fact, my first touch with computers was in the late 70’s when I was studying. I’m not a guru for programming but I’ve done few programs with language that could be called being near assembly programming. I’ve build a microcomputer with a friend in the past and made one program for that one. This is the book for that.

And the grass was greener in the 60', I know. Times change and not everything what worked 50 years a go can be repeated today. Sorry but the idea to hold Monte in a way it was held in 60' is completely ridiculous. Just try to tell the team managers that they are going to spend two weeks on the event with thousands of non-competitive kilometers all around Europe and watch how they react.

Interesting, I guess it is more or less the same computer one of my co-students assembled from parts back then Pravetz 8D - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oric#Clones and used small TV as display. Your's is called "Junior" ours has been named "Home" (this is the suffix D comes from).

Mirek, for phuques sake the main point is---and should be obvious---that the sport we like has become "cookie cutter"
And moron manager types and "idiot fan boi live-in-Mama's-basement" scream for ever more simplification, standardization, and homogenization of EVERY single facet of the sport..
The cars look identical nearly, the drivers look nearly all the same, the schedules of things are the same, most the "taught by manager" statements from drivers are the same, Just the introductory background long establishing shots are different.
Almost like circuit racing. And clearly intended to be like circuit racing in its structure and organisation , management and execution..
And with the most amount of sarcasm I can must this early before I have tea:
And they wonder why there is such vastly diminished interest?

Do You actually believe that thinking about some utopia helps anything? What was in 60th was in 60th. It won't come back no matter how much You wish it come. There are more than enough reasons why. Maybe it's better to get used to the fact that the sport is not like it used to be.

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
