@siliconundergro@a2_4am Well, I guess they were both fine for text-mode word processors. I will say that a notable % of the Laser 128's let out their magic smoke.
I, personally, had the earlier, first model of the Laser 128 for a period and used it heavily and loved it. No issues for me.
Picked this up this week. It brings back so many memories of my youth. I typed so many of these programs when I was 14, 15, 16. I'm very happy to have re-found a copy.
Put Yourself In the Pilot's Seat with FLIGHT SIMULATOR II.
I love the whole aesthetic of this ad, a whole polygon world around you.
It wasn't until Flight Simulator 98 that I'd get my first taste of the series, so it's always a fascinating experience to go back to these early entries from SubLogic.
Craziness. On our trip to Memphis last week, we wandered into this quaint little boutique in midtown called The Wren's Nest. My wife and daughter set about trying on French dresses and such, while I wandered about idly, trying to entertain myself.
As I poked about the shelves, I came upon a display of four extreme-level custom keyboards and I've never found such an out of place treasure, completely out of the blue!
I re-enact my surprise encounter in this short video. Enjoy. 🙂
@GrouchoDuke Yea, I do to. I talked about it at length during the trip, but my wife was not feeling the purchase, sadly... The proprietress told my wife "you should let him get that, he's been in here looking at it a few times!" but - alas... :-)
