Taco Bell can just die, along with any other shitty "fast food" establishment.

I am done, completely done, with Taco Bell.  Every time I go there they fuck something up.  The rice is not cooked enough and crunchy, or so old it is just a paste.  It is disgusting and Taco Bell might as well remove it as an ingredient since all but a handful of its stores ever get it right.   The speed of service is atrocious.  I have sat in line behind three cars for 30 minutes and watched as small orders were passed out the window.  I have waited inside the store for just as long

Re-affixing diskette labels

It is common with our aged disks for the adhesive backing to have dried out or deteriorated to the point the label is no longer affixed to the diskette.   I have pondered on this situation for a while, considering various different types of adhesives.  My go-to for cartridge labels (laser-printed on 28 bond paper) has been a tacky glue used for scrap booking and crafts.  It works good for static surfaces, but not so well on surfaces which tend to flex offer no absorption points in both

Spending some time with the Sega Genesis Flashback

Having an affinity for and owning Sega Genesis and Genesis 2 consoles, I found myself intrigued by AtGames' new Sega Genesis Flashback. I have experience with AtGames' Sega Genesis Classic and Portable which I found lacking to some degree though usable, but the promises of an updated emulation engine and built-in HDMI were a draw which I could not resist. I have spent some time since the November 10 release to give it a whirl and I am far more satisfied than most early reviewers.   Lea
