It was the "every fourth door ambush" crap that got to me. It was like you could sense when you were going to get jumped from behind when you went through some doors. I started walking into rooms backwards and taking out the ambushes every third or fourth door. I got as far as the Delta Lab before just losing interest.

And let's not even talk about the utter shitpile that is Rage.

1920x1200 in glorious 16:10, as God intended. (And 1536x2048 on my tablet in glorious 3:4, also as God intended.)

Ask anyone who has worked in a public library: if you give something away for free people will demand the moon and bitch like mad when you don't give it to them.

Just like the last election, I find myself voting not for anyone I really want, but against the evil foisted upon us by idiots and religious lunatics.

Janeway was a psychopath and a genocidal murderer with no respect for the rights and borders of other sovereign nations. She was a perfect reflection of the Bush years.

User ID 510? Holy crap! I thought I was one of the oldest people still here.

419? And I thought I was an oldie!

It really depends on the book. Reference books get written in like crazy. The margins tend to get filled with copious notes. Art and literature get treated with more respect, especially art books. My old and rare books get looked after quite well.

New feet. The ability to walk without pain would be nice.

I have used IBM Model M's (and the new USB equivalent) and those bad boys usually last ten years or more. My oldest was Fifteen years old when I retired it due to not having any PS2 machines any more.

Remember Everex computers? Nice PCs. Horrible management.

My commute is between five and ten minutes depending on the weather. It's not a bad walk, all things considered.

Are you kidding? Office 97 was more than I ever needed. WordPad with a spell checker is more word processor than most Word users need.

Anyone who's grown up around people with substance abuse problems already knows this. Everyone I know with drug issues started out with alcohol issues.

Not as good? That really depends on what you need it for. If all you want is to able to play music or listen to audio books why do you need a pocket computer?
