TRS-80 Model I
Oh the joys of loading from cassettes. The volume on the cassette player had to be at the right level, as well as the tone control (if any) or else your software would load filled with bugs, or wouldn't load at all.
My second was a Vic-20, but it was the C-64 that I spent most of my time on. The PC-XT in the other room collected dust since the sound and graphics were no match for the Commodore.

Last night, I put up a new blog entry about Opening Exercises in schools. Incidently, I have an actual recording that was used in a school. (You can listen to it here: http://classicalgasemissions.blogspot.com and feel free to rise for them too!). I think it's kindof ironic that as a former JW, I actually have a recording of this (which I obtained when I was still a JW).
In High School, we were sent to a 'special room' where all banished JWs go so they can sit through the opening exercises. Everyone in the class wondered why I came in late each day.
When I was in Grade 10, before I switched schools, I was going through my doubting period. Occasionally, I'd stay in class for the opening exercises. I think the teacher knew I was going through this and seemed to be really cool with my indecision of whether I would stay in class or go to the JW Jail.
When I switched schools, I made the decision to NEVER leave the class for the opening exercises again. I remember the first time I did so. It was a weird feeling, but yet a feeling of excitement, moving onto a new path of life.
Do any of you have specific memories about opening exercises in school? -

Today, I decided to go donate blood for the second time ever.
It's really weird. I don't normally volunteer for anything, but I happily volunteer to donate blood. I almost feel it's my duty as an ex-JW, just to help make up for all the JWs who don't donate.
Do any of you feel the same way? -

Should I try internet dating? Does it work?
by Witness 007 insoon i will be seperated and although i will have a break from women i thought about dating web-sites......i don't know how else to do it..

Internet dating is much like dating in the real world. The only difference is you have one step added: getting the person offline and meeting them in the real world.
If you're not well versed in real life dating, you won't be well versed in internet dating.

Barf! Puke! Ugh!!
by Frequent_Fader_Miles infacebook's all you ever wanted to know about the bountiful blessings awaiting faithful ones in jah's new order!
check out these comparisons with satan's filthy world ..... the new system verses what saten 's system has to offer:.
saten's system: unequilty, there are thousands of imigrants, but its not their fault, the country does not supply food for them because they are using the money to fight their war's instead of bringing enough food into the country and supplying jobs for them.. .

Saten's system: Wars, every form of violence, rape ,murders, Abuse of children
Items 2, 3, 4, and 5 seem to also be included in Jehovah's system. Someone is dillusional. -

Has Golden Calf ever been found?

There you have it, straight from the mouth of Jehovah himself. -

Don't have a cow! Golden Calf II
by cameo-d inok. here is another question about the golden calf story.. just suppose this is some sort of allegory or symbolic message.
why would they choose a calf as opposed to a bull or a cow?.
a bull, i could understand.

If the Golden Calf was a God, then it had a golden penis. If it didn't, then it would be a 'Goddess'.
