Delta Takes Delivery of Its First A321

[Richman]

Wasn't that low tech. This was my "almost failed out of college" excuse. Fire up the Commodore 64, have that new pizza place, "Papa John's" deliver a pie, and binge out!

Oh, dude, don't even. You had sound and color. I had a clicking relay and an old Zenith "Radiation King" B&W TV for a monitor.

If you're going to trot out Commodore anything for this battle of "sonny, let me tell ya how it was", it better be a Pet.

Win!

FWIW, I had callouses on my hands from my Atari 2600. Those damn joysticks are going to cause some serious disability when Xers hit 60.

Coulda been worse, I suppose. We could have played with the Encom 511....

What was it with homicidal computers?
Encom 511
HAL 9000
The W.O.P.R.

All precursors to SkyNet?

Science Fiction tropes.

That's enough to wreck the rest of your evening.

Now go fix yourself a beer and enjoy. Bye bye, now.

I spend hours there. And they continuously update it too.

I bet. My wife just rolled her eyes at me when I got all excited, "oh look honey, I had one of those!"

but shout out to the 80's babies who know what this is.

Hey us 90's youngins, well at least this one, knows that game well!

How come no one has brought this game up yet?

This was my favorite as a kid! In fact, I still have my much older Brother's Super Nintendo and this game. I wonder if it still works?!...

Pirates!

Red Storm Rising.

Those were my time sinks when I was a little nipper.

Somehow I got confused and became the wrong sort of El Capitan.

One of my very favorite time wasters.

Going there and seeing your favorite box is the computer equivalent of going to the airport and seeing your favorite ride on a pole out front.

You need to download the patch. It's got little bulldozers tearing 'X's into the runway at night.
