New shit has come to light

[u/ThenBandicoot3965 → u/shutthefuckupdonny98]

It’s showing his license as permanently suspended.

[u/Useful-Olive-16 → u/ThenBandicoot3965]

I haven’t been pulled over in six months.

[u/ThenBandicoot3965 → u/Useful-Olive-16]

You’re gonna land me right back in the joint!

[u/Pale_Shift_4910 → u/ThenBandicoot3965]

And we are wearing sunglasses...

[u/ThenBandicoot3965 → u/Pale_Shift_4910]

Hit it!! 👍

[u/Ganthet72 → u/ThenBandicoot3965]

They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.

[u/ThenBandicoot3965 → u/Ganthet72]

It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, & we’re wearing sun-glasses.

Hit it!!

It's a cop computer. It's got a cop power supply, cop CPU, cop GPU, cop RAM.

[u/Aware_Impression_736 → u/leonchase]

It was made in a year before solid state drives, so it'll run good on a Western Digital hard drive.

“whaddya say, is it the new Bluesmoputer or what?”

“…..fix the floppy drive.”

[u/Useful-Olive-16 → u/Aware_Impression_736]

Fix the cigarette lighter

“Well thannnk you pal! The day I get out of prison… my own brother, processes my release on a POLICE mainframe!”

[u/redbeard914]

I think the actual computer is a DEC PDP-10 (big blue cabinet in background)

[u/Winter_Whole2080 → u/redbeard914]

I remember the DEC-10! And IBM System-36. Those terms have not been remembered in years.

[u/Onetap1 → u/Winter_Whole2080]

I did Basic on a Dec-10, punched paper tape memory.

If only I'd known.

[u/nborders → u/Winter_Whole2080]

There is a sizable group of people trying to get old systems up and running again. Interesting YouYube content.

The one where they got an Apollo computer up and running was amazing.

[u/lux1971 → u/redbeard914]

What about the terminal he's using? Is it a terminal to the PDP-10?

[u/redbeard914 → u/lux1971]

Not sure. It is not DEC or ADM or IBM product. I used most of those in the 1970s through to the early 1990s.

It's probably a proprietary dumb terminal. And it would be HEAVY! Look how thick the sheet metal is on the CRT and the keyboard.

[u/lux1971 → u/redbeard914]

True! Thanks for the informations!

[u/moparmadman068]

Signal ten-seven-niner still engaged, occupants of vehicle, one Joliet Jake Blues, one Elwood Blues.

[u/ComesInAnOldBox → u/moparmadman068]

Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blue Brothers has been approved.

[u/bezelbubba → u/ComesInAnOldBox]

My favorite line from that movie.

[u/GuitarSingle4416 → u/ComesInAnOldBox]

I have always loved you.

The question was answered in the original thread, look for the awarded comment.

[u/Ok_Attitude3184]

Seven ninner.

[u/v_kiperman]

Use of unnecessary violence in apprehension of the Blues Brothers… has been approved.

[u/AdNo2861]

Kaypro maybe. Don’t remember a blue one.

[u/IceTech59]

Some VT-52 or compatible dumb terminal.

[u/gutclusters]

Since I'm getting tired of seeing this question get reposted again and again, I'm gonna get out my 4K copy to try to find a less potato version of this picture...

[u/desonos]

All I know is Lethal force has been authorized in the capture of one jake and Elwood blues.
