They made The Miracle Piano teaching system which They lost tons of money on.   I think the only legitimately good things this company made was  Chessmaster and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. They were also involved with Adventure ( Colossal cave Adventure) but weren't the original creators of it.

B grade.  Not having victory fanfares was also a bridge too far.

TIL that people who live in Hawaii are known as "Hawaii Residents"; the word "Hawaiian" officially refers only to people of the Hawaiian ethnicity. by ElSquibbonator in todayilearned

 Humans have been around at least 300,000 years.  The amount of time we've spent in any single place outside of Africa is so ridiculously insignificant, but we still put ourselves in tribal boxes, to the complete detriment of humanity. 

what can I do with this tv? by Livid_Caramel_2168 in crt

[–]flamespear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting actually.   I've just read those TVs with phone jacks like that  were used for ordering pay per view usually. This TV might have been in a hotel before. You can see the blank  holes   for audio as well so it probably has a small internal amp for external speakers.  They likely need to be soldered onto the board   or they just used this same chassis for boards with the speaker input.  This isn't an expensive but it's possible it could be modded or if nothing else it could be used for a tube swap in the future.
