Doesn't Bruce still use an Altair computer ? I mean what's more fun of
programming those bytes of data with On/Off switches ;-)

Naw, I think some people still have the "Post-BladeRunner" syndrom (you need
to be a Sci-Fi geek to understand that !).

Any of you ever played with that NASCAR Barbie girl ? I was told she was
nicknamed "Billie-Bubbae-Tamy". But still DO NOT touch my Star Wars
Luke/Leia dolls !! It's a no-no ;-)

Hanky-panky ?

really looking forward to being
able to use 16 colours instead of 4.....the graphics on these new games
are supposed to be brilliant with 16 colours.
Anyway, someone reckons that I really should upgrade my OS to DOS 2

CGA graphics in DOS 1??? Dude, how'd you do it? You must be a god... all I
gots is this darn green-screen. Makes it look like everyone's sponsered by
Quaker State...

Perhaps I'm getting my "GAs" mixed up? Would it be "EGA"?

Will GPL run on it, d'yer reckon, Byron??
Or should I lash out on a 386 with Windows 3.0?

Well Bruce, the good news is that for some unknown reason they have a software only mode
(non 3D) for GPL so it will run. And better still, you'll be able to make steering/pedal
inputs, go out to the kitchen and put the jug on and be able to leasurely stroll back to the
'puter in time to catch the next frame and make appropriate adjustments on the wheel/pedals.
Great stuff this! Talk about GP2 slowmo.

Not meaning to distract from the original joke but, imagine, in ten years
will we look at Win 95-98 as we now look at DOS 2-5? If so, will GPL look
like test drive?

I'm e***d.

Imagine this, Goy. I still use a 1040ST every day at work. Win 98 won't
allow me to figure out why the MIDI doesn't work so I've got that damned
8-bit machine (but upgraded to 1 full meg of ram) right there next to the
PC. hahahahaha... It's true.

HAHAHAHA!!
Now that *DOES* bring me down to earth with a big WHUMP!

Remember how we ooooed and aaaahhhed over Indianapolis 500 on the 386?!

Yep....I guess GPL will be treated the same in another 10 years!
