  1. Cat's been missing 3 weeks now. Looks like he's finally gone. Did well enough to last 18 months with a disability after his aneurism, or whatever it was.

      Stories like this, plus experiences growing up with my mother's cats, is what convinced me that when I finally got my own cat, he was going to be 100% indoor.

  2. Do you ever just stop and think, "Gee, do I miss the Radio Shack of the 80s and early 90s"? I do. It was a hollowed out zombie of its former self at the end, but still.

      When I was a kid I remember Radio Shacks that had a ton of parts, ie capacitors and such.  Not sure when they stopped being that way.  They had been bad for a long long time, at least since the late 90s.  I think they started to suck even before internet retail took off. 

       

      Electronics stores used to be better in general - i can remember visits to Circuit City being a treat.  And computer stores like Egghead also. 

       

      EDIT; just saw that about fry's. wow.

  3. I played Root Beer Tapper on Colecovision today.

     

    Geez! This level lags because the background animates.

    It would be wiser to not animate the background and the gameplay won't suffer.

      This is a game I'd love to see done on the 7800.
