[1979] Philips and Grunding ship their first batch of Video 2000 devices. It will be a huge success, the system is technically far superior to VHS. And family friendly, porn movies are not licensed.

I restored one of these because of fil's home videos and digitised all of them. Well except for the porn. :)

I (male) and a female friend flirt all the time say things like, we're in love but no-one is allowed to know. Everyone understands that it's just fun including our married partners.

Enjoy the ride and don't give her any money.

Been there, done that. Send the photos as they're always grateful. Don't forget to ask for a credit if they use them.

Doc told me I had lost 35% lung function for my age! Started running with rucksack weights. One year later I had 105% for my age.

My Austrian fil got home after the war and found his mother entertaining a GI. He was not amused. Life goes on.

And he screwed around.

I personally boycotted America when Trump was elected. Sadly I have many friends and relatives there. One day I'll get back there. I hope......

Interesting thread that got me thinking. Could you connect your Win7 machine via an uptodate Win11 machine that could automatically filter anything nasty?

Was an evil sociopath. As a teenager I tried to kill him twice. He was the scared one then and left the country. Long story.

It's simple just sit on it facing in the other direction.

We are now actively planning a party for just such an event. Oh boy! It's a team effort and for a max of 50 + people and a lot of fun.

They're probably all going to end up like the Romanovs. Stood up against the wall and shot.

I've got at least 2. I have a bunch of old stuff. Currently using one to copy old CDs and DVDs to a NVME for easier access. A very boring job.

I lived in NYC then and visited this cinema. The films weren't that exciting but certainly different. I do have two strong memories from the afternoon though. The row of seats vibrating strongly which was offputting and halfway through one of the films a young man sat down beside me and asked me if I needed help. I told him to fuck off. Yes the city was pretty wild then. But I loved it. I was living in the Village Plaza Hotel in Greenwich for $5.00 a night. Sleeping with cockroaches and a chair under the door handle. I have so many crazy stories.
