Wives Hate Gamers

Sat, Dec 1 2007 - 00:00 AM

I have what some may say an addiction, but I always reply to them with I can quit anytime I want; I love to game. I'm an avid video gamer, and love to play games and see how they unfold. I recently got my wife hooked on World of Warcraft it's a great game. She has come to really enjoy it, and my wife and I can have fun doing something we both like to do. I recently heard someone retort Of Course! It's something HE Likes to do...however, I argue that I learned Swing Dancing for her, so this is an...

Buy Windows 1.0

Mon, Jan 28 2008 - 10:08 AM

Steve Ballmer is the CEO of Microsoft. In this 1985 commercial, he's trying to sell Windows 1.0. Despite never having seen his slightly creepy rant, I had a copy of Windows 1.0. I couldn't run it in real time, since I had only 1MB of extended RAM (shadow RAM). Those were the days. My computer had not one, but two 5.25" floppy drives, a CGA video card, and a whopping 40MB hard drive. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to fill up that hard drive. ~ Tony...
