I'm sure looking forward to the future when I'll be prosecuted by the patent and/or trademark holders of both 'Do Nothing' and 'Do Something' for doing something and/or doing nothing at all.

Of course, Apple will offer their 'Doing Apple' to give us all some choice - but at the same time will sue anyone trying to 'Do Nothing' or 'Do Something' and not 'Doing Apple'...

perhaps when you become financially independent you can pay for all the copyrighted materials you wish to download... and/or buy a shiny new secure wifi access point so that your new neighbours can't leech themselves silly on your connection and blame you.

or, just move here and take two strikes... then move somewhere else :)

heh, to be honest, a lot of those years were spent waiting for tapes to hurry up and load something...

and it was a luxury to have 8 colours (or by some occassional magic, 15 or 16 - I forget). I happily remember the first time I heard near-speech come out the little speaker - "Ghostbusters!" in a 4 bit crackle. "Intro's" were limited to a text message on the initial loading buzz that just mentioned the version of the interface used to make the ram dump. To save loading time, the title image that most games painfully loaded was removed, although I guess (now) that it wasn't in memory when the interface dumped the ram.

C64's and Amiga's were where the real fun started :)
