There's still one working analogue TV station in my area. I don't know why it's still up. Sadly, there's nothing worth watching on it.

Nice TV! You need a wood grain VCR to go with it. On my TV, channel 91 is the A/V input.

I've been waiting decades to find out what keyboard was in the Wycat 150. Thanks for the photo!

That "happy place" is sadly missing some vintage computers. (and also in a No Parking zone) My "somewhat happy place": I'm also reasonably happy in this room:

I just assumed he suddenly went Cockney.

I must admit that I learned a few things from Jeff Varasano (who resides well within the "Pizza belt") - although he knows nothing of Canadian flour, which requires radical changes to his dough recipes.

How did this thread get to pizza? You want to see pizza? Well, do you... punk? I grew the oregano. I grew the tomatoes. I even grew the damn basil. OK... I didn't grow the cows that make the cheese... but it was local to my island, I swear! Now THIS is a pizza.

I saved the original pages of that site over 20 years ago. The ones I have (stored on my Amiga 500 drive) have a date of 1998. The link has changed, but thankfully the author put a redirect link. Ken Polsson has done a nice job to collect this information over the years. (y)

:biggrin: Assuming you're not being sarcastic, I approve of this message and/or product. :p

No, it doesn't. Around 2013, I did have a VOIP service with a cable modem that supported it, but when it got fried by a power failure they replaced it with one that didn't support it. I then got a rotary to dial tone converter, which worked for a while before something changed with the VOIP that...

I wouldn't want to use the internet without Adblock Plus. I haven't seen a single YouTube commercial - ever. As for the sponsored crap, I'm always quick on the forward arrow. The second somebody starts talking about their sponsor, I press forward as fast as I can. I see brief flashes, hear bits...

I closed my PayPal account last year - and it took me months just to log in to be able to close the damn thing. They started demanding mobile phone verification to log in and I don't own a mobile phone. There was no way to bypass. Their "contact us" is an exercise in frustration and gets...

I remember when "old people" were people born in the Victorian era. That generation is now long gone. These days, old people were hippies in the 60's. I once had a long conversation with a guy born in 1893. He was still bitter about the fact that the Canadian government lied when they...

If anything involves potential breakage, I leave it alone. I've had a couple disasters that still haunt me. I do my half-assed best to get it working, but don't want to do anything that might make it worse. Of course I clean everything and make it as neat as possible without causing damage to...
