There’s too many to list but Zelda 2 was the first game I finished. It was a collaborative effort, using a book, but my friend Frosty and I stayed up all night (this was in junior high so this was a big deal) and finished it. Fond memories.

One of the first files I downloaded from a in 1988 was a small programme that played Rossini's Overture to William Tell on your computer's beeper. It was called BACH.EXE.

@mrundkvist haha this post made my day. I loved finding weird and wonderful programs on bbs’s in the day.

I'm running, doing core and arm workouts and eating well, and losing weight - but I can't seem to shift the belly fat.

Is it just a case of "keep going" and it'll go?

(I've been working out / watching calories for about 2 months and dropped 4 kg, and gone from a 34 to a tight 32 on my pants (trousers). It's just the damn spare tire.)

Thanks! I'll have some patience and see how it goes. Have a good one!

Thanks friend! I appreciate the advice and encouragement. Down to below 80kgs for the first time in 25 years now!

Thanks! I've got tighter pants but the issue is just above my belt line so it looks WORSE for a bit. However progress is still happening. Thanks for the info, friend!

I hit 4k on my journey back to 5k and lost enough weight that I'm now the same waist size I was in high school (a looong time ago!)

I wonder how long everyone here has been using Apple equipment. I’m an old greybeard so we’re taking 68k era for me. Well, Apple II really!! Then PowerPC then Intel and some newton and og iPod and of course iOS.

What’re everyone‘s Apple history? I’d be interested to hear!

@LJay71 awesome! Thanks for sharing. The G3 was such an exciting set of systems.

@LJay71 I believe you youngsters still say "yolo," right? If you've got the space and the coin, go for it. I have a PowerBook 150 (in pieces) but the dopamine hit from the nostalgia is real!

Since I'm an old greybeard - BBS's. It blew my young mind that you could connect your computer to another one and communicate with people.

Email is a close second for the same reason - pre-WWW I should point out haha!
