Played so much road rash on my dad's gear during long drives in the Ohio countyside, I think we either had a adapter for the cig lighter or a special battery pack or both because it seemed to last long enough for me, but definitely shorter than. My OG Gameboy ran for. Was a great color handheld before that was common

Yeah I've had so many Chevy's spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren't, infuriating

That would make sense, essentially double dipping the debt. Twice soaked in horrible costs.

I live in America, have medical debt that I generally have ignored, and it never shows up on my credit score, I wonder if making the payment arrangement is what made it show up on the report, because currently I have a 800 credit score.

That laugh still haunts me. Also the SAM application for text to speech which was pretty good for the era

Oh man that unlocked a memory of some attempts I heard of voices through PC Speaker that weren't bad but definitely weren't great lol

Nice I couldn't imagine playing music on my c64's 1541 drive the thing made scary knocking noises when it worked properly!

How quickly we forget the chip tunes of the PC Speaker, I used it in a computer lab one day to play a nearly undetectable high freq wave using logo. The PC Speaker was a pretty flexible little speaker

I have the theme song as my alarm sound, makes every morning just a little bit more epic

Pretty sure in the late 80's early 90's it was on Fox kids broadcast tv

I know that, I was just refuting the claim that "your not going to make that kind of money in a flyover state", it is possible, and you don't have to work the big 5 here either, and the cost of living is way less.

I'm a software architect, though even when I was just a senior java developer I was making 130k, software pays well even in the fly overs.
