How to not get blown up in a star wars film:

Death star 1: Cover the exhaust port with a ray shied, easy. Plant a big fat AA cannon right next to it, then another AA cannon positioned at a 45 degree angle, then another at 90 degrees. Luke won't make it two feet. Problem solved

Death Star II: Assume that the rebels are bringing an army and absolutely cover the entire station in turrets. This conversation has been recorded for the convenience of future generals:

"I don't care if we have to remove the executive restrooms, the rebels are coming, the rebels are coming! If that fails, Shore up the inside with EMP generators and more turrets. the only way this station is dying is if i sell it on Ebay for parts dammit!" -Vader

Droid Control ship: Energy shield on the doors, a fleet of Doctors and another fleet of Borg ships ought to do it.

Echo Base: You see that big gun? Fire it until you run out of ammo, then send x wings to harass the fleet, then y Wings, then send them back to bomb the hell out of the AT-ATs. 

If Wampa's break through, go for the arms, then the legs. You now have a non threatening Rug to put in your living room.

Bill Gates makes the potatoes for McDonald's fries. In other news I'm trying to repair a real bitch-stubborn motherboard. A 486 on top of it. 486s are the hardest retrocomputer to work on.

My mom was vaccinated yesterday. AstraZeneca. Right now it's like she has the flu. Minor fever, aching body, and whatnot. Hopefully she'll get better soon.

Happy anniversary to the Neo-Geo. It turns 31 years young today.  (See video) 

Analogue's Super NT goes on sale again today. As expected, you can't buy it since their site won't let you put it in the cart. Thanks bots! What idiots are running that site?

Having watched a bunch of super hero movies over the last year or two, I've come to conclusion that in comparison Star Wars Episodes 1-3 aren't really that bad... relatively.

Oh-No!! A MicroMVS project has been cancelled. It's on post #25,503 to view on the  Neo-Geo thread to see which one. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/223548-the-official-neo-geo-thread/page/1021/#comments

Finally sub-zero all weekend. And the blanketfort was a hit so we did it again.

Finally. Sub-Zero weather is coming to town.

We just had a bird in the house.  The cat was going nuts.  We finally cornered it and I was able to grab it and put it back outside.  It was a small bird, a sparrow I think. 

Oh yeah, it was able to get in because I left the door cracked open while I went to get the newspaper.

I tried installing Windows 95 using floppy disks, on my actual old hard drive, not my SD-IDE adapter. I only have 2 3.5" 1.44mb floppy disks, so I had to keep erasing and rewriting disks once the laptop was done with one. It wasn't very fun, even after I was done installing Windows, because that 1.44mb limitation meant I couldn't freely copy whatever I could fit into the hard drive. But I eventually got everything working and even installed a few games.

Is it normal for the house you're renting to be listed on all the sites as being for sale starting in October 2020?

Today marks 37 years since Windows 1.0 was announced!

Newspapers.com: For someone who only searches papers from the 70s to the 90s, is the $8 plan good enough or do I need the $20 plan? Do you get more pages from those years with the $20 plan?

Listening to acorns fall on my roof. I swear the ground is COVERED with them. There's got to be 100x more acorns this year then I've seen in the 6 years I've been here.

I just bought a 400, when I do PRINT FRE(0) in basic it gives me 37325 value. Does that mean it has been upgraded to 48K?

Here's a car that I like and would love to own. It's called the Lada Oka (VAZ-11113). It's discontinued, but I find this city car to be cool. 8^) 

Cats are annoying.

I wonder if there will ever be a program that makes me really really want to fully adopt Windows 10? So far nothing has been convincing.

I have two Dell laptops with Windows XP on them up for grabs in my giveaway thread.  Check them out!

I went to see a doctor today.

I hope I didn't catch coronavirus.
