Yes, the Load Time is a great idea! And a great episode this week as usual, my favorite part was the convenience store guy. I hope he hears it! And thanks again for talking/writing up my podcast! :)

Re: Basic computing
I thought the Commodore printer at TRU story was hilarious! I remember typing a few programs into a TRS-80 at school in the late 70s. I had brief dalliances with my friend Jeff's C64 in 87-88 and my sister's Macintosh in 90. That was it until my boss rescued some PC parts from the trash at Bell Labs...

Re: Episode 125: The Video Game Crash of 1983
I also missed it. I had moved on by then, I started high school in 84 and I had started playing in a band that summer. I was trying to get a girlfriend too. I remember going to the local Pathmark (a local supermarket) and seeing 2600 games for 99 cents. I didn't buy any. I remember the KayBee Toys i...

Re: >> You Don't Know Flack: Podcast Ideas/Status [STICKY]
After years of relatively cheap broadband, I didn't even consider that. My friend was an extreme Commodore geek, but he also spent summers doing landscaping work and made a shit-ton of money to feed his obsession. I do remember us getting yelled at by his mother and sister for tying up the phone. If...

Re: Episode 111: The Gas Chamber
I just listened this week. I didn't get a computer until 1995 and I totally missed the whole gaming/BBS era. Having said that, I really enjoyed listening to your stories about that stuff in this ep and the Copyfests ep too. I have a few more to listen to, I hope you're able to do more!

Re: >> You Don't Know Flack: Podcast Ideas/Status [STICKY]
You mentioned that you got a C64 in the mid to late 80s, were you on Q-Link at all? I didn't have a computer at home growing up; my HS friend had a couple of C-64s and he introduced me to Q-Link. We never played any C64 games, we just went in the chat rooms on Q-Link. I was absolutely amazed by it, ...
