I miss my Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 2
by garyneal inwas reminiscing with a friend on facebook about our past and the thread concerning windows 7 got me thinking about the hours i spent writing programs for my trash 80 computer.
any other nerds like me who miss the old hardware?.
or does anyone miss anything from their younger days (not necessarily computers)?.

I loved the heck out of my C-64. I spent hours writing programs. It also had better color, better graphics, and better sound than the XT which sat in the other room collecting dust. I've since replaced the C-64 with a C-128 which I still occasionally pull out to play with.
My first computer was a TRS-80 Model I. I've also owned the Commodore Vic20, and the Coleco Adam which was a cool machine, even though it was pretty buggy.
I actually got into the habit of collecting old computers. I've got a bunch of old apple computers, a TI99, and a couple of pocket computers which look like calculators, but are fully programmable in BASIC.
As for BBSes, I ran one and I've been debating putting it back up via telnet.

Does Anyone Like the New Songbook?
by metatron ini'll try not to be 'knee-jerk' critical about this subject but do any witnesses like the new songbook?
ok, they got rid of some awful lyrics about molesting bees - and downsized references to the ever redundant jesus - but the music itself sounds like forced piano practice.
trying to sing these slow, pedantic tunes is awkward and painful.. i haven't seen any witness e-mails about this 'wonderful provision from jehovah' and his faithful hacks, so i wonder if the rank and file aren't enthused either.

I've heard them a bit. I think it's worthy of noting that the old ones were played on a real piano. The new ones are played on a synthesized piano.
I've always preferred the sound of a real piano.

Blue Oyster Cult- On Your Feet Or On Your Knees
Kix- Live
A lot of people would probably choose BOC's Extraterrestrial Live instead. I don't know why I like that one, probably because of the crazy guitar work and the absence of all their biggest hits.

The other day, I had to make a stop at a personal care home to do something work-related. While I was waiting, who do I see walking through the hallway? Why, it's sister K! WTF is she doing there? She's not even dressed in Kingdom attire! Instead, she's dressed in a night gown pushing a walker. She must live there now. Armageddon is sure taking it's sweet-ass time getting here. I wonder if anyone drops off the magazines for her.
Things have sure changed since I got out 14 years ago. Everyone got old in this system of things.

How did the Watchtower miss this one???
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/latest_sarah_palin_speech_opens
Speaking unto an audience of anti-immigration advocates, global-warming deniers, and members of the Tea Party Nation, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave forth utterances Monday that reportedly opened the sixth seal of the Book of the Apocalypse.
"Wow, it's good to be here, just shootin' the breeze with a bunch of real, hardworking Americans who love their freedom," said Palin, her words echoing across the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium as mighty tremors caused great unrest beneath the land and the sea. "So are the little guys like you and me gonna fight these Washington insiders with their big government agenda? You betcha we are!"
And lo, there was then a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair; and the moon became as blood; and "gosh" was spoken repeatedly; and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken by a mighty wind.

And the 10th mention of "small town folk" brought forth a great belching chasm of death and dust.
These disturbances reportedly went unnoticed by the audience, however, as their thunderous applause drowned out the sound of the foretold cataclysm.
"This Tea Party movement just goes to show ya that America is ready for another revolution," Palin said as things long ago divined came finally to pass. "Who do you think is gonna stand up for the freedoms promised by our Founding Fathers? Folks like us, or some socialist professor of constitutional law in the Oval Office?"
It was then, witnesses claim, that there was a tearing of the heavens, and the skies receded as does a scroll when it is rolled up, and anecdotes about everyday middle-class Alaskan families were enunciated in down-to-earth tones.
"That's right, partner," Palin said, as every mountain and island moved from its place, and flames overtook the lakes and the rivers and the seas. "Thanks, but no thanks."
According to biblical scholars, the opening of the seven seals described in the Book of Revelation will usher in the End Times, the Tribulation, the reign of the Antichrist, and the eventual salvation of the 144,000 chosen few. It is thought that the sixth seal's opening will bring about the full fury of God, leading ultimately to the Day of Wrath.
"Admittedly, this is not what we were expecting," said Robert Harwood, a doctor of divinity at the University of Cambridge. "The Bible speaks of a beast with seven horns and seven eyes, not a raven-haired woman from the north who knows not what foolishness she speaks of."
"Still, there's no denying it," Harwood added. "The End of Days is upon us."
One member of the crowd not torn apart by swarming harpies told reporters he feared living in a country where his daughters would grow up speaking Spanish and not be allowed to carry handguns.
"Palin for president!" Bill Coleman, 37, of Topeka, KS chanted, and the stench of flesh rotting in the belly of Satan rose up, and the stench of death rose up. "Sarah Palin for president!"
"Small town folks—the folks who grow our food, run our small businesses, and teach our kids—are getting pretty riled up by President Obama's big socialist ideas," Palin spoke as the stage upon which she stood was rent apart by an unseen hand, opening as unto a great chasm, whose gaping void she narrowly escaped by clinging to the podium.
"Uh…how's that hopey-changey stuff workin' out for ya?" Palin added.
Chaos and disorder then spread across hill and valley to every corner of the earth, eyewitnesses reported, and as the minions of the Antichrist prepared for their millennium of world dominion, even the teeming masses of heathens could not in their hearts deny that the final phase of Armageddon was close at hand, and that you're darn right Joe Six-Pack pays too many taxes already.
The Antichrist, whose true identity remained unknown as of press time, will reportedly come to torment the sinners of humanity as soon as the seventh and last remaining seal is opened.
"I'm so happy that we've got the liberal left running scared," Palin concluded. "Because whatever the TV pundits might want you to think, from where I'm standing, the future looks really good." -

Thinking About Buying Webspace
by Nosferatu indoes anybody have any suggestions about this?
i've never bought webspace before.
the main purpose is simply to host pictures and audio files.

The unlimited disk space and data transfers of arvixe.com is what's appealing to me, and for $4 US. I don't need any "premium" or "business" plan. It's just for hosting files.
The wife isn't very happy that I'm thinking about paying for webspace, but with the free hosting sites I've been using going belly-up, I think it'll be worth it instead of re-uploading everything repeatedly.

Does anybody have any suggestions about this? I've never bought webspace before. The main purpose is simply to host pictures and audio files. A free domain name would be nice, but it's not completely necessary. Oh yeah, I'm in Canada too.
I would also like to pay by the year, not by month.
One more requirement: The servers need to run Linux ;)

Ah, Ontario, home of Canada's pulp & paper industry. Sounds like a win-win for the WTS to move printing there. Get themselves some nice WT trucks to haul the stuff, and costs go way, way down. Maybe they'll make the calendars bigger now!
