I remember late 90's we were still receiving/sending data on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-track... on a rather chunky tape machine connected to an OS Warp machine as that was the only OS with drivers and loading/writing data to/from a shared drive on a Netware server... :p
It's the (misguided) effort that counts 🤣
That was my thinking - it's been ported to pretty much everything 😂
That seems a decent idea - I like that!

BBC Micro Model B version just released !

Looking/sounding more like Tradewars... would be interesting to see if in a multiplayer universe the number of times you buy something, go to sell it elsewhere and it turns out someone else has already flooded the market there so you end up losing money and wasting turns could be reduced...
I occasionally pick one up called "Nicky" when it's on offer... has a slight fragrance and feels slightly easier on your hole or blowing your nose... (not a massive difference but noticeable enough)
In the same month SU gave Howard The Duck a 4/10 (archive.org/details/sinc...) and then YS gave it 41% in Aug '90 when it was £2.99 (archive.org/details/Your...) which seems a lot more accurate!
It does look like she's strapped up with mountaineering gear so makes sense :p
Yeah - that took me am embarrassing number of attempts to do...
Enjoy... bit jealous as could murder a week off myself!
wtf - someone please find a way to get this thing out of office before it kills us all... (or maybe we can kickstart a clone of Populous that has its name all over the place and some hotel building and tell it it's real...)
At least you had time off... grumble grumble...
I can irk my back putting my socks on 🤦♂️
A decent "thunk" definitely but can't have anything without AI these days it seems so I'm thinking that could be modelled on...
Sadly the first thing that comes to mind when seeing Jack Dee is: "a widget, it's got a widget and a widget it has got"... (or whatever it was)...
Not sure I like my new toaster... it works but it doesn't have the satisfying "thunk" and the energy behind that makes you think it's trying to make the toast hit the ceiling or something... more just a "pfft - I've already make it toast - what more do you f*ing expect from me" feel...
Sharing bowels is far less boring than tapas 😇
Hope you feel better soon!
It's lucky Falken didn't set a secure password - it would have been a rather boring film...
Bloomin' heck... haven't had mustard in a while and saw some nice beef slices on offer so figured I'll have a beef and mustard sarnie... spread it on just like I use to... one bite and my eyes are watering...
Or @commodoreblog.uk is up to mischief 😇

Happy Birthday Prof! It seems that 11 years on, apart from a bit of a beard now, nothing has changed!
#FollowFriday Now, I don't usually do this sort of thing, but I am feeling all fuzzy inside and it's not the Irish Coffee. Log - it's 9am! If you don't already, check out these darlings:

It's nice that all of them are smiling while closing though :p
Classic scene!
I was also reminded of a short film on the DUST YouTube which is a modern take on the creepiness of things... www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIqz...
... which then goes around trying to sell as many to more people...
Then it reduces your body to nothing using its digestive juices while creating a clone that's part of a hivemind... 😱
For any deer issues get a dog and name it Fenton...
