• Half my extensions are busted. TargetAlert, Flashblock, SessionSaver... those are the three most important disabled ones right now. Fortunately, it appears I no longer need SlashFix or Tab Mix (try dragging the tabs around).

SessionSaver ".2d1 nightly 30" works on the recent Firefox betas/nightlies. I believe this is the new home page.

(This extension's history is a study in chaotic development; several forks with the same name, appended version numbers, different authors, patches, posted across a bunch of web forums containing hundreds of complaints and comments. You have to wonder why they didn't just create a wiki page somewhere, or at least a web page on some free hosting service, and tie the damn threads together.)

Two unrelated: The first game system I got was an Atari 2600. This was in 1991 or thereabouts - I had an NES and eventually an SNES, but I never did catch up with the rest of the world until I got an N64 in 1998 or thereabouts.

Anyway, I think the Atari was just something my dad had in his closet and gave to me. My favorite games were probably Pitfall and Frogger.

The Atari ST is a bit of a different story. My dad bought it for doing computer-aided synthesizer work in the late 80's sometime. It eventually passed on to me, with that 30 MB hard drive. It had a text adventure game that we could never really do very well at, some game where you shot things at a bubble, and Daleks. (And BASIC.)

And, of course, the inevitable 486 with the Turbo button, and the shareware games. Oh, the shareware games! Commander Keen comes to mind, but there were tons of others. And wondering why our 230 MB HD was getting so full, and finding out that my family was recording 2 MB .wav files of my little brother singing and other such wasteful nonsense.
