They're at it again.. With the colored lights and the weird sounds.

I hate seeing ads that say Free Content for your Favorite Video Games!   Oh, really?  So if I click here, will I magically see New Robots that somehow found their way into my Dark Cavern cartridge?

I hate to say it, but a sizable percentage of college students seem to be functionally illiterate.  If you provide written instructions on how to do something, they often cannot follow them.  However, if you explain it verbally to them, even using the exact same words as in your instructions, somehow that makes more sense to them.

Prayers up!

Could we ever have dreamed that someday,  just using our computers,  we'd be putting ROMs into a Harmony Cart and then, just by going into the "Atari Room" and firing up the 7800 (outputting S-Video no less), we'd be able to play a Stratovox homebrew (as an example) using our Edladdin arcade style controller?

While I did imagine similar things as a kid,  I thought rooms in the Future would be all white and plasticy;  Maybe kind of sterile looking,...And I thought there'd be some spots with dozens of blinking lights,  Maybe a couple of tape reels here and there that spend their days going back and forth,  God knows why they do that...And I thought there'd be way more robot voices.

Being interested in the video game products of the 20th century is a nice reprieve. 

The IBM PC is amazing. Its VGA 2D graphics are no more sophisticated than the Apple II. Just faster, more colors, and higher resolutions. And yet it can draw 100's of sprites without sprite hardware! And parallax scroll without planes. And do 3D without 3D. How does it do it? Amazing!

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

My Compaq Portable II seems to be falling apart... The floppy drive died a few weeks ago and now the serial port died.

You ever have so many projects going on at once that you get overwhelmed and end up not working on any of them?

I'm probably the only guy that still has faith in the Atari VCS reboot
