Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hija
The first computer I ever used was a Commodore Pet. It had a small green monochrome screen, and a slow, slow tape drive. The programs were written in BASIC. The very first video game I played was on that Commodore Pet. It was Space Invaders, and the graphics were very blocky. But it was wonderful...
The very first word processor I used was called "Magic Windows" and it ran on the Apple IIE. We inserted control characters before and after sections of text to get formatting like bold and underline. I was so happy with it because a word processor was so superior to an electric typewriter. I learned to type on an IBM electric typewriter...
The very first graphics program I used was Print Shop on the Apple IIE. I used it to make title pages for reports and things. When I think back, I realize just how clunky those graphics were and how slow that program ran, but at the time I thought it was so great.

Bah, Humbug!!!
I haven't played an Online RPG Game (i mean an actual published game) in years. Now actual RPG's with friends and sheets of paper and such is where it's at.
Wait No...That doesn't involve a computer...Maybe...we Don't need computers to do...Everything!

Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hija
You will be drawn and quartered for even suggesting such a thing. "Don't need computers to do everything". You know better!
