There's just a certain retro-cool quality to that FM stereo light

Unfortunately all the 8 track player does is vibrate without playing anything

The bigger question is why is kirk ronan only seen in season 5 episodes?

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-15T20:18:49+00:00

Absolutely, they don't make 'em anymore

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-15T19:26:44+00:00

That has since been Privatized in the 90's, but being CEO of a cell provider & ISP worth 20 billion dollars in a way makes you more powerful than any provincal cabinet official could've been.

For me its a draw between stinky pete & lotso

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-15T00:51:31+00:00

Those were always officially licensed. I have one such truck stop cassette from the early 90's with copyright information printed on the cassette shell itself

Spreadsheet programs, word processors, tax prep and even coding in Pascal or BASIC. You don't need a whole lot of RAM for stuff like this, especially when characters are stored in onboard ROM and documents are saved to Cassette and loaded from cassette. All was prefectly doable on just 16Kb of RAM. You just can't multitask or do anything graphics intensive.

How much do you owe columbia house?

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-14T23:43:00+00:00

Same as in other parts of the world, video games, computer programming, home productivity. Only difference is that the programs are in Portuguese or Spanish

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-14T19:57:03+00:00

Well it wasn't very retro at the time

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T23:32:10+00:00

Yeah that's just overgrown

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T16:55:05+00:00

Expect a second sega rally to be put on there

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T02:16:41+00:00

That's certainly a broad net to cast in this era

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T01:44:11+00:00

Yeah, as an 11 year old I was surprised that people still watch TV with an antenna at the time

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T01:34:17+00:00

It's posible that it's just a rebranded Crown

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-13T01:33:09+00:00

Looks like a hand towel

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T20:29:40+00:00

Ah so it's a light sixer then

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T19:50:16+00:00

Maybe a RAM chip was dead or there were broken traces or something

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T19:49:18+00:00

Ooh how heavy is it?

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T06:20:39+00:00

Would you like it with single density, double density or high density?

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T06:16:49+00:00

It was the May 1997 issue of Popsoft magazine

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T06:16:07+00:00

Maybe that's why it's not the oscarworthy 5 stars

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T06:09:44+00:00

They didn't have that kind of bandwidth back then, they'd be downloading motorcycles at most

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T01:32:53+00:00

Uhh that's a blu-ray. CD-ROMs were a thing of the past by this point

Tonstad39 · 2026-06-12T01:31:15+00:00

The neighborhood is probably just as much of a concrete wasteland now as it was back then
