Just don't fall overboard with this in your pocket...you might not be as thrilled with the results...

Looks like heaven to me. When I lived in Portland, we had Wacky Willy's, which was a huge place with this kind of stuff. Sadly, it's closed now...although my wallet is fuller and my garage doesn't have so much weird stuff in it.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it! That's one of the funniest scenes ever.

Or maybe you could spend less and get a box that does more. I look at this and Apple TV and wonder why anybody would buy them instead of chipping an Xbox and running Xbox Media Center. For a bit less money, you get almost everything the Netgear or Apple TV boxes do, (you can stream your iTunes, but it won't play your DRM-ed movie downloads) plus it plays games, has a built-in DVD player, and has a huge developer community.

Granted, it takes a little work to get it all going but it's still the best media box you can get.

Oh boy...

- I remember saving my first program on 2 punch cards.
- I remember spending hours typing a BASIC program from Creative Computing Magazine into the Commodore PET
- I remember CLOAD
- I remember the Trash 80
- I remember computer terminals with paper output instead of a CRT
- I remember Choplifer on the Apple II
- I remember the sound the hard drive would make when my Apple //e would boot up. (chuka-chuka-chuka)
- I VERY fondly remember Beagle Brothers
- I remember acoustic coupler modems at 300 baud.
- I remember how getting 10 5.25 inch blank floppies for $15 was a killer deal
- and then using a hole punch to make them "double-sided"

Jeez I'm old...
