| Oh, well, since you mentioned Atari... I still have my Atari 2600VCS lying around (it was still in working condition a few years ago when I tried it... maybe I should connect it again and take some video), but years before that, my uncle bought one of these in the early 70s: http://www.pong-picture-... |

| I'm 36 and have never dated anyone or had any kind of romantic relationship. I just don't have any realistic ways (for me) to make it happen. I don't work with any women and there are no single women in my small social circle. My lifestyle basically comprises going to work and coming home. I know I... |

| Yes, Norton Commander!! This topic makes me so nostalgic... Anyone remember the time there were still BBSes running? The time of xmodem, ymodem and zmodem, Telix, ProComm and waiting for an entire evening to download a 750kb shareware game, keeping your fingers crossed that ARJ would succeed in unp... |

| OK, as someone who's just finishing some classes on HDTV production and directing... it's not for the faint of heart. And you need pretty good hand-eye coordination. Take a camera operator: you may be required to approach someone with the camera while keeping him/her in focus and framed. That requir... |

I needed a root canal, but my regular dentist (who's my cousin's wife) doesn't do that, so she told me she'd call in a surgeon who specialized in that and gave me an appointment at the clinic for the next... |

Years later I found out she ha... |

| I think people generally find people who are opinionated and sure of their opinion intimidating as most people go with the flow and take on the group opinion/opinion of their peers. A person who takes an opposing opinion is often seen as 'not one of us' and sometimes 'trouble' as well. The trouble ... |
