I remember playing Elite on ye olde 48k ZX Spectrum with a Joystick using cassette tape when that were luxury and high tech like a level 12 tech planet!

Pfft! Some of us were soldering together our ZX-80's long before that!

Not that it could do much more than:

10 PRINT "YOU ARE A TWIT!"
20 GOTO 10

:shock: :o :twisted:

And how many remember when we could walk into a store and type that program in on their demo machines then watch while the staff couldn't work out how to stop it and just power-cycled the machine! Ah those were the days!

Or make the ram-pack wobble and crash the game that was loaded!

Could be that these times are quite stressful?

A lot of things going on in RL. I'm 38 right now and without a job. I should be grumpy too (and sometimes are) but refuse to let it go so easily. There are still fun things like Oolite :D .
