LOL Nice

My cousin and I used to watch The Transformers and the (remember this generic alternative?) Go Bots before school every morning. LOVED both! Right up until the Dinobots were introduced. Oh well.

That was in Elementary School and Jr. High. In high school, we'd come home and watch a mix of Duck Tales/Rescue Rangers/Darkwing Duck/Tales Spin while we ate our manicotti and/or ravioli before we started our manually stat-tracked games of Tecmo Bowl!

The good 'ol days.

Oh ya, and WD is freaking old.

Go bots were cool, but the show sucked. They definitely were never as cool as transformers, though, on any level.
Tecmo bowl.... Hell yeah! I always played as the Bills. 90yd passes to Andre Reed that never missed and Steve Christie kicking like 500/game.
Good times :punk:

Speaking of 30 years...On January 25th, 1984 the Macintosh was first available for sale.
ARTICLE

Regardless of your opinion of Apple, Steve Jobs or the Macintosh itself, it is undeniable that it changed the world. The Macintosh ushered in the era of the mouse. The era of bit mapped fonts and desktop publishing, the icon, the folder, the trashcan and of course - drag and drop. Its descendants, only made possible by the incredible success of the Macintosh continue to have a profound impact on our everyday lives; iPod, iPhone, iPad and of course Microsoft Windows in ALL its forms.

Make no mistake, the Macintosh will be remembered with other inventions like the Gutenberg Press, the Cotton Gin, the Model T and Nylon.


and who can forget the iconic Ridley Scott masterpiece:
“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.”
“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
"Freedom (n.): To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing."

Finally someone older than I am and I did notice your profile said 73, is 51 the new 21 for people your age?
