    Had a great time at volleyball yesterday. Cost $5, but well worth it for the fun and workout. :)

    Punk kids! Ah, '85, now that was quite a year. Driving to high school in my '68 Camaro. Hessians. Didn't even own a computer! Life was so much simpler then. You whippersnappers wouldn't understand. :p

    I at least had a computer in '85. A Commodore Vic 20 with a titanic 5k of RAM.

    A year of contrasts. One the one hand you have 'Live Aid'. On the other, Microsoft releases the first version of Windows. :p

    I have done as much to the new living room as I can for today. The rest of the junk needs to cleaned out before I can do any more, and I currently have nowhere to put it.

    Ahh, the fond memories of the Commodore computers, the hours of reading lines and lines of code to my older brother as he typed them in, so we could put in a game that we didn't really like that much.

    Yes, I guess I was a little behind the times on that score. I had to go over to my friend's house to play Statis Pro Baseball on his Apple II. Our family didn't own a computer until '88.

    I remember my old apple IIe computer. I would do about the same as Brallrock and his brother. Type hours of code to play a game and then spend twice as much time going back through the code trying to figure out which comma I missed that made the game not to run.

    @Dragonfly, do you work for Micro$oft these days? It sounds eerily like the way they write operating systems. ;)

    My first computer was the TRS-80 (or Trash 80 as we liked to call it)
    It got stolen in '85, which was a pretty rough year for me, anyway. I do remember watching Live Aid on TV. I still have the videotapes we recorded...LOL

    Today was warm, even for Florida. I think we may have hit 80F today.

    *sigh* I wish. I'd love to have a computer job. But more so art/graphics based.
