I think we were all a bit younger, more idealistic, and less jaded back then.

Old habits die hard, I guess.
That's exactly what I want. I've got an old "Home Theatre Master" MX700, which is now owned by URC and it's a paperweight, because all I could get was Win3.1 software which no longer runs. Best remote I've owned. With you on the touchscreen thing too - totally useless.
Currently got two Harmony 650s, which are okay, but the way they don't know the current state and don't function in any useful way until you tell them which 5-step macro mode you want to be in *and wait for it to play that whole thing* just so you can turn down the stereo... yeah I'm still in the market for the ideal device. I know it'll never happen though.
I went into this with no idea about it in the slightest, and absolutely loved it.
I loved this one also, it's an interesting look at a potential future, and feels like a lot of newer movies are made with a very similar style. I remember being really confused that it was a complete commercial failure.

I have done exactly this, more than once. I love the movie, but doing this is even better.
I will also point out that this is how I first watched the movie - someone did this to me.
Grr, I hate when I post without remembering to login first. That one was mine ^^

Hah, I used gopher and Veronica in college on an IBM mainframe via Kermit. In many ways I'm glad those days are done.
Oh I totally agree, we shouldn't have to worry that our packages will be abused, but in reality, we do, because they *are* abused.
As a former FedEx handler, I can confirm your suspicions - many of the handlers would intentionally smack the shock stickers.
People need to just pack better. Your package WILL be thrown if small, and likely hit the wall of a shipping can. Your package WILL be dropped if large, probably pushed off the side of a conveyor belt. Working there completely changed how I pack stuff, for the better.
Damn, didn't mean to post that as AC. Oh well!
Hmm, I read the series when I was 14 or 15, and I remember liking it. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't go back and try again, however.
