Grand Theft Auto 4 Insanity: Still Sick

Hey there,

This flu is really driving home the fact that I should write more than 1 post every couple of days so I have material for when I'm completely sapped. For that same reason, I'm not advertising this post like I do my usual ones (again). Why use up good will for no reason? ;)

In my ongoing quest to consume enough liquid, take enough medicine and get enough sleep to kick this bug, here's a video, from YouTube, that showcases some glitches, bugs and other funny stuff from "Grand Theft Auto IV."

PARENT'S WARNING: Please note that, while this video is fairly tame and all the violence is simulated, it's probably not suitable for young children. I own this game and I don't play it until my kids are safely tucked away in bed ;)

Cheers, and may the antibiotics begin making me feel better soon :)

, Mike

Obsolete Technology Can Be Yours Today!

EDIT - 4/26/09 - Thanks to ComputerBob at LXer for pointing out that the link to the main picture page was incorrect. It has been fixed :)

Hey There,

It's been a rainy Saturday night and it looks like it'll be a rainy Sunday out here. In other words, it's a perfect time to moon over the cutting edge computers of my youth ;)

I found a great collection of defunct (or antique) home computers at oldcomputers.net, which houses everything from a picture gallery (below) to a great collection of old computer commercials from back in the days when so much of what we take for granted now was considered absolutely amazing :)

There are, literally, over 8 pages of advertisements to check out and even more pictures and other information. It's great fun and either humorous, nostalgic and/or both (viewing experience depends heavily on age and/or computing experience ;)

Just to give you some idea about how inexpensive home computing is today, find the "GRID" home computer below (near the bottom and it has GRID written on the screen ;) and follow that link to the information page. It retailed for $8,150!!! Ouch!

Enjoy and cheers!
