Nasgate posted:Screw Ipods and Zunes, my family used Zen players Here is an image depicting a Creative Zen Touch with french language settings playing some Joe Cocker:  It's called "Touch" because there's a small strip under the OK-button which is kind of touch sensitive. The thing is that the Zen Touch can withstand anything short of a direct bomb blast. I've had it hit the floor on many occasions, but it still keeps on truckin'. Pair that with 24h battery life and you have a pretty good MP3-player!

JediTalentAgent posted:The only real streaming competition that I ever saw at that time was a format called "Vivoactive" which I thought was better than Realvideo with comparable file sizes. A friend of mine earned my eternal respect when he watched through the whole Godzilla-movie in Vivo. Not only did he make it through a lovely movie, but he watched it through a thumbnail sized Vivo-file. That's dedication!

Snorkzilla posted:Door games were games you could play on a BBS that often had a multi-player aspect. A few years ago some goon set up a BBS on telnet so we could play LORD and TEOS II. I hadn't played them since SysOp'ing a BBS in the 90s, so it was a blast from the past to log in every day for the daily dose. Still awesome games. I wish someone would do this again.

Geoj posted:Honestly I can't see them really caring, and beyond that they'd have a hard time proving in court that they had any actual damages. If Gravis had been selling a replacement that worked with their system they might have done something, or even if Nintendo was making a game port version of their controller. But it was a controller that worked on a different platform with a completely different connector, so I don't really see why they'd give any fucks about it.

sweeperbravo posted:When my family got our first "real" computer, we sat in a semicircle around its desk as it booted for the first time. I recall "oohs" and "ahhs" as the startup sound played and the logo proudly beamed ascreen, though that may have just been an addition by my eight-year-old imagination. We booted the it, and during the RAM self test it seemed like it just wouldn't stop counting. When it finally stopped, at a whooping 16 megabytes, we just started laughing spontaneously. "I didn't even know that you could buy machines with that much RAM", my dad proclaimed. I agreed. These days I don't even know how much RAM I have. I just know that we now measure it in gigabytes.
