I like to break out my Dec. 1986 copy of MacWorld and look at the prices for hard drives and RAM back then. Oh man, if I had a time machine, I scoop up a butt-load (metric) of 30 pin 1 MB SIMMS and live like a king.
In 1986.
Good gravy, I remember the music and pants back then.
I was thinking of now. At least by the IP of it. Someone owns it still. With Vista acceptance about even with Blu-ray/HD-DVD adoption, now might be the time to finally dump backwards compatibility (but preserve through VM like Macs do) and start fresh.
I still have my TI99/4A. Still works too. About 10 years ago, I was even able to load a drafting program I wrote and saved to tape. Wonder what would happen if I tried it now? Has been in unheated/cooled storage unit for most of the last decade. D'oh!
Looking at the code, have no idea how I wrote that, other than maniacal focus on computer back then. I got into high school in '81 and totally lost interest in computers. Darn you girls! Darn your boobs!
If anything, I think that after trying to drive in the game, with drunk driving applying to the controls (like Spy Hunter on the snow/ice), you'd get the point that driving sober allows you better control and makes it easier to target things./Carmageddon driving instruction
Gah! Have spent 20 years trying to get through Gormenghast. Can't make it through first book. Would rather read Fagel's translation of the Iliad, backwards than attempt Gormenghast again.
As for Tolkien, I pretty much just pick and choose different sections of LotR and Silmarillion to read.
The problem with allowing techy types more permissions within the work environment is that they're mostly concerned with enhancing their stuff. Most of them don't do much for their users, other than sharing out equipment over the network, that should be tracked, and then resulting in security going nuts.
We do have a few building specific groups with their own support, but even there, corp IT has reserved the rights to push to domain and such. Fun thing is when you get a user moving out of a special area and plopping their machine down in a vanilla spot; techs love running across stuff not set up per corporate spec.

Aaaaaaugh!

Nooooooooo!
We are stardust, we are golden,
caught in the devil's bargain
billion year old carbon...
I thought it was a marathon. All water in the universe is space sweat?
Somewhere I have a version 1 of BeOS that runs on my Quadra 650. Can't wait to dig into storage and fire that up.

"BeOS is a great operating system" -Doug Miller, Microsoft
What if MicroSoft bought Be and used that as the basis for a new OS?
I agree. Visual Basic .NET has nothing to do with BASIC. Carry on the good fight!

Frisbees man! Really cool frisbees.
Wives can cut you deeper than knives. Harder to heal up after, too.
She's had so many face lifts, she has a beard.

Visigoths wore beards. I bet they coulda' taken Bath. If they coulda' got cross teh channel.
Dwarves with laser beams stuck to their heads?
One thing that's always bugged me about LotR is that after thousands of years, there's not much population around. Weird!

I found a NOS HP Lovecraft album about 10 years ago at this used record store. Still wrapped and everything. Sweet!
So, Del Toro is getting together concert footage?
Hobbit 2: Bilbo Strikes Back!?
I thought dumb meant unable to speak, not stupid.
The only better material is mercury, but they stopped using that several years ago for obvious reasons.
They don't want to pollute space?
I dunno, but it better be played at 11.
Would make a great album cover.
I like Infoseek.
