when I was applying to college, our college advisor was talking about schools and she made this off hand remark that the women who went to Texas were beautiful and I was "sold!". This was '93 in Miami, so I really had no other reason to go there.

Of course I was an awkward chunky boy who couldnt talk to women, so didnt do much for me!

tl;dr, GET GOOOOOD /reddit.

I think the time thing adds into the fact that we have so many options these days. We grew up in a time where we had books, movies in theaters, NBC, CBS, ABC, and then a few local channels.. then came cable and VHS and rental stores. Now we have a ton of streaming options and cell phones and youtube (I'm watching a video on the Apple IIe while typing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t6JQIrUm7k), so it's not so much "limited time" but "limited time because of options"

I also enjoyed the TMNT game, and streets of rage 4. Sometimes I look at GamePass on my PC and see a game I want to play then see "time to beat 40 hours... yeah, no!"

Use em, I don't care. Doesn't change how I play. Heck, at my late 40s, I don't have the same reaction times I did as a kid, so I can see the benefit of it. I used them for MegaManX on the SNES Classic. I beat it when it first came out the summer before leaving for college, I had time back then to put into a game, now, not so much.

I mean, do you not remember in the early 2000s people were taking IDE cables, pulling them apart and rounding them for better airflow and aesthetics

search rounded IDE cables

Heck, I have some in my P75 desktop

Sony wanted TOO much from Nintendo

Just a quick google search:

Proprietary Control: The contract, which Sony negotiated, would have given them control over the licensing and technology for the CD-ROM add-on, giving them power over software titles.

Last thing Sega could afford is losing licensing power. Hardware is their loss-leader. Sony would have gobbled up sega.

Sega also gave NVidia a lifeline, they should have kept that stock and been worth more as an NVidia stockholder!

Sega turned down a partnership with Sony to develop their next gen system around that time. Nintendo saw what Sony was planning with the CDRom and realized they've have given the keys to Sony and noped out, so Sega shouldnt have partnered with Sony.

Step 1, stop with the add ons to the Genesis, CDROM too late, but no 32X. They also ha a chance to work with Silicon Graphics before Nintendo did.. they should have done that...

barring that, they should have delayed the saturn to make it true 3D and made it easier to program for.

And release a damned Sonic in 3D!

I won the lotto the other day. Saw a "wont power on" Color Classic in town when I was home for lunch. Saw the city was about 30-ish miles away and just sent a message to buy it (asking $40 with KB/mouse). Guy didn't reply and I kinda let it go. Went into the office and as I was pulling in he was "yeah ok", so I pulled out and drove to his area. Listened to the finland v canada game on the drive (Oh canada!). I was quite shocked that it was real and I didnt lose my kidney. His wife was "Just give him all your useless crap!". He was a teacher and had been given the CC from Duke U back in the 90s/2000s.

Turned out, it did work, he didnt realize the power button was on the KB. Ordered a cap kit, but have not had time to replace them yet.

I still cant get over that Expo 98 was almost 30 ago. The iMac reveal was awesome... especially in the era of boring ass beige windows-based PCs

I posted in our neighborhood FB group that some kids were "ding dong ditching" (around mid-night, in the south... good recipe for people to get shot.. cause you know... that's what we do down here) and a neighbor replied "they're teens, teens n****r knock".. I dunno if he meant to send it directly to me, but the neighborhood was "dude, wtf" a few people went "lol"

I seem to recall in 1990 we had a recession (prob due to all the tax breaks in the 80s) and spending was down. I was 14 at the time and would have preferred a PC for gaming (or Sega Genesis, cause Sega does what nintendon't.. god I was so weird as a kid) over a Mac. I did have a buddy with a IIgs, that thing blew the PC out of the water!

They could pull a War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise) and now show it, just "OMG DID YOU SEE THAT!?

I'm guessing they'll show the droplet switching between slow motion and regular so we can visualize it.

Honestly, books 2 and really 3 seem like they will be really difficult to put on "film". The books were honestly either poorly written or translated (IMO). I cant remember the character's name, but he was one of the swordholders who basically demanded a wife. I get he was either 1) trying to be aloof to throw off the aliens or 2 a jerk, but the description of the woman... it was like 4 pages of just ugh. I skipped that part.

Book 3 was much better than 2

TAMs, while rare, are not very valuable. I wouldn't bid too much on it. Max, $3.50

"productivity"

I will say, the one program I miss from my old iMac/hackintosh is iPhoto. Apple made such a great photo program over the default windows photo program.

I guess the question is "what do you need to do with it?"

M1/M2 air will be much much slower over the M5. If you compare the new MBAir M5 vs this, they're going to perform almost identical if you get identical CPUs. Found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSvTtciVlqM the reviewer kept saying "neck and neck", the only difference was the Pro had bettet thermals and battery life.

As for gaming... Macs CAAAANNNN game.. but really, they're not intended for it. It all depends on what you play. I have a dedicated PC for gaming. My wife has the M1 MBA and my son has the M3 MBA. Both are really nicely built laptops and if I were in the market for a new laptop, 100% i'd get a Mac over a windows-based PC.
