RoboSpy posted:Unfortunately (fortunately?) I never experienced Microsoft BOB, but I was wondering if anyone here did? All I know about it I learned from Wikipedia, though I do have vague memories of ads for it when I was a kid, and may have seen a demo computer with it at a CompUSA or something. Does anybody have stories about BOB, or a computer squirreled away somewhere with BOB still installed? I used to play around with this all the time as a kid. I don't think I realized it wasn't really meant to be a game -- I just liked decorating the rooms and picking the little character that would talk to you. Invisble Manuel posted:I always wanted one of these: They did record audio, and you could also hook them up to your TV, meaning you could use it as a monitor and also record it to VHS. I bought one of these in the early 2000s and got it modded to have RCA output, so I can (awkwardly) hook it up to a miniDV camera and make weird movies with it. The video is really interesting and eerie, but you need a ton of light to make it look like anything but a grey smear. I also had this loving thing in like 2002 and thought I was pretty bomb:  It had good battery power and held a lot of songs for that era, but drat if it doesn't look ridiculous now. Also, on the subject of laserdiscs, the college I went to had apparently invested heavily in them when they were new, and every single film we watched (as a Film Studies major, this was a lot) was played on laserdisc, which none of the aging professors understood how to use. This was in 2003-2005 and it was kind of surreal having to flip the disc over halfway through the movie and sometimes even switch to a second disc, considering that DVDs had been out for a while. squeegee has a new favorite as of 03:03 on Jul 22, 2012 |
