Blue’s News - Video Gaming, Technology and General Interest. I think it’s been around since the mid 90s.

My guess would be Mr or Mrs of XYZ Company.

They used to have a rental program for audiobooks at Cracker Barrel.

I had a Commodore 64 as a kid but we couldn’t afford the disk drive (it was as much as the computer). I had to settle for a cassette drive. About 15 years later, I was at a garage sale and saw a C64 with disk drive but no cords. I asked the seller if it still worked. He said “For a dollar, does it matter?”. Still have them.

After all that work and documentation?! I say stick with Open Garage!

Ordered two Ratgdos yesterday. Hopefully the wait isn’t too long.

Memento. But first I’d tattoo “Don’t trust ‘Memento’” on my stomach.

Agreed! I meant at as a compliment to the comment (not an endorsement of Reddit). Not sure that was understood.

It’s comments like these where I instinctively try to give a Reddit award.

But why male models?

They did. But even at the height of its popularity, there were only a handful of movies that had it.

The glasses were around $170 per (if I remember correctly). That was a big barrier to entry.

Great idea for a post!

-PDA? Yes- Handspring Visor. It was supposed to be the Palm killer (it did have some success, as I remember).

-DVD-Recorder? No

-WebTV? No, but my less tech savvy friend had one. Those seemed doomed to fail.

-3D Television? Yes- spend way to much on two pairs of glasses that were used less than five time.

-Raspberry PI? Yes, but haven’t done enough with it.

-Internet Radio Player? No

I also had some type of smart pen around 2001 that would transfer what you wrote onto the computer. I think you had to plug the top of the pen into a USB port. It was a large pen (probably the size width of 5-6 normal pens combined). I can’t find the name of it. I think you had to have a special notebook with it too.

Great article! Anyone use the service?

Mlem and WefWef are my favorites so far. I wish WefWef was a ‘real’ app but it’s pretty impressive what they have done in a Web App.
