@coolboymew In the olde days my favorite trick was to get a slabbed wrapping of of laserprinter paper from the company cupboard to raise my monitor to the right height!
Eventually I'm sure it got used properly.

@coolboymew Intro sounds like my favorite dot matrix printer!
@coolboymew There is a pretty good C compiler that should work on PC-88. I've used it to build TRS-80 games there are some graphics libraries, etc. Haven't tried on PC-88 emu tho'.
@coolboymew "They say Gozilla is coming in December so I just declared an end to time and went for it"
@coolboymew Extra Credit: Drill two extra holes for microtonal enhancement!
Later, mention the drum set in your garage you don't use anymore.
@coolboymew I used to put the Colecovision boot screen as the Windows-95 termination image when you "shut the machine down"
Kinda got our CTO at the time a little upset! I explained that those Windows releases were horrible and were of "Colecovision quality!"
Now uSoft's OS releases seem great but their etiquette is horrible.
@coolboymew Try a goat milk latte there's only one letter of difference.
@coolboymew Think I'll still stick with my Atari Lynx.
@coolboymew how bout ketchup on your green beans?
@Pawlicker @ChristiJunior @coolboymew Nahhh the college crowd is a mixed bag.... lots of creative people on campus some graduate some don't but it's actually a great place to mix things up if you're creative.
The unusual upper division classes really get things going too... lots of crazy ppl show up in those it's great.
@Pawlicker @ChristiJunior @coolboymew Real problem is that it's tough to get anything new/original into the market when you're paying people to do the same ol'thing
What you need is gangs of nuts trying new things, some outside a co on their own, some inside a company... depending on their personalities, etc. That's how it works
If you hire folks to do "same as everyone else" work then you get sumthin like an old employer of mine, Disney, who never really does anything uniquely fun / original
@coolboymew hmmm will take a look thanks. I like his thrift shop ventures mostly hehe he sneaks into the shops and unsuspectingly records tons of junk on the shelves! Too funny.
@coolboymew Oh no he did this... these were pretty expensive I remember when they came out - resolution was low and yikes... at the time wondered why they even released them!
Was a nice idea tho'. I worked on dithering software for a much better hi-res Seiko printer around 1990 at Everex at my first real software gig. Was a blast.
Am really into dot-matrix printers+pen plotters here. Yeah I know... why? Coz they're very mechanical and kewl.
@coolboymew Mattel Football II was awesome but my favorites were Battlestar Galactica in LEDs and these... which I have a couple of that need repair.
@coolboymew What's the name of that post-SLA house buster the police use in L.A.?
@coolboymew Try it again in Dalle3.
@moth_ball @coolboymew Some days I find myself wishing I could find more pedestals.
My most fav'rit races are... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uU6KzAbSTg
@coolboymew I would file a lien on her house immediately. Maybe notify the bank... am sure she signed something that will be a violation of contract. Something about "no outstanding debts!"
