This will make it even harder for him to give his away.

And let's not forget all of those antique toys made of pig iron which today just need a new coat of paint (preferably non-lead) to make them look new.

I so wanted one of those when they came out. Except they were way too expensive and used the NewtonOS.

if Apple does put out one they'll hopefully learn from their mistakes.

Anyone else remember how that went over?

WIKI: "Upon its unveiling, the TAM was predicted to cost US$9,000, which would include a direct-to-door concierge delivery service. At release the price was reduced to US$7,499. In the middle of the machine's sales lifespan Apple dropped the price further to around US$3,500, and finally upon discontinuation in March 1998 the price was set to US$1,995. Customers who paid full price for the TAM, and then complained to Apple when the price was so drastically cut, were offered a free high-end PowerBook as compensation."

Isn't this from their very first episode? A satellite sending bursts of energy to a planet on a regular schedule?

"Hello? This is Patsy Stone and I'm with Jeremy's..."

Yes, except most don't rent out guides whose experience is limited to Death Stranding.

This reminds me of a 60 Minutes (?) pieces decades ago. Where this town built a major league (baseball/football) stadium and couldn't get a team. Because the major league association wouldn't let them. It was more important to let the already established teams say, "Hey Mr. Mayor, you either play ball with us or we'll go to that new fancy stadium in another state!" The town was just being used as a bargaining chip. And it worked multiple times. (Sorry for lack of details but this was broadcasted a long time ago.)

Years ago my K800 keyboard battery wasn't recharging hardly at all. I contacted Logitech and they told me they don't service or sell the "battery pack" and I'd have to get a new keyboard. On the back there's a single screw to take off a panel which houses the "battery pack". I felt adventurous and took the panel off.

The "battery pack" was actually four individual rechargeable AA batteries. I replaced them and the keyboard it's still going strong to this day.

...to being able to make a Genesis joke. Damn.

And don't forget, an Academy member's copy of Titanic (sent to those who could vote for the Oscars) got out into the wild before the official VHS was released. The Academy and studio was furious. Supposedly the next year all copies sent out had a digital serial number. So if pirated copies were found they'd know exactly whose copy it came from.

But...its March. *confused shrug*
