That's awesome! What a great way to end the story. I remember printing our story on a similar dot matrix printer back then as well, took forever. Somehow I managed to save everything in a text file, but I can't remember how it was done. We grew up in an during exciting time, didn't we?

Same here! Had a BBS that our physics teacher at school let us run off a TRS-80 Model III, it was always fun dialing in to see who had added what to the continuing story. SO much fun. Have to say, 1,000 pages is pretty amazing. Do you still have the files?

Yep, I remember those CGA and EGA days...a buddy of mine got a PC similar to the one you had, and we had a blast playing Starflight and King's Quest games on it. Once the .bat files and IRQs were all configured properly, that is :D

Talking points? LOL. You can't answer any of those legitimate questions and have to turn it all back on me instead (there's that projection again). Taken seriously...eesh. Have a good one!

Finding special items like that was great. I played U5 on a modded Atari 520ST, U3 and U4 on an Atari 800XL. How was it on the PC side? The screenshots always looked great.

MAN those games were awesome. The first computer game I ever bought was Ultima III back in 1983, Richard Garriott and his merry band of coders provided years of gaming goodness.

That's awesome! Experiencing those Infocom games when they were introduced back then was truly amazing, they really fired the imagination.

Translation: "I've got nothing, so I will call you names and run from having to answer for my own false assumptions." P.S. It's "you're."

Wow, project much? "I'm not Bush!" 6 years in is acceptable foreign policy to you? Who's been held accountable for Benghazi? Nobody. Hundreds dead in Mexico due to Fast & Furious? Nobody accountable. Hundreds dead in Syria after Obama said there'd be a "red line" for Assad, which he crossed. Kerry warning Israel about…

You tell me, since you claimed I don't know anything about the Carter administration. What do you know about it, without having to refer to Wikipedia?

How can I be "vague and obtuse" while you claim it's "easy" to pick up on what my foreign policy views are? Wrong again, I never said anything about force. However, since you can glean so much about a person through a few comment, perhaps you can tell us what Obama's are. Why is that so difficult?

Yes, I ended with that question because it pertains to HIM, not Bush. Can you explain Obama's foreign policy? Nice assumption on your part that recent history isn't paid attention to, though...I'm sure the president's latest selfie will have full coverage on MSNBC. Important stuff, ya know!

Your problem is you thinking you know what my foreign policy views are, when you can't even explain Obama's without referring back to Bush. Who's trolling, hmm?

I was 8 when he was elected, and remember the Iranian hostages being released right after the 1980 election. Tough break for Carter, huh? Can you enlighten me further?

Again, you're making it about Bush and not the current president. Why is that so difficult?

You're wrong, I DO know what our foreign policy is: non-threatening appeasement. Don't turn this back on me, why don't YOU take a crack at explaining why Putin, Assad, and other oppressive leaders have nothing to fear from the US. We were told Obama was so eloquent that world leaders would recognize how intelligent he…

Welcome to 38 years ago, when Jimmy Carter became President and has now been topped by Obama for incompetency. Does even HE know what his foreign policy is, other than to blame Bush for everything 6 years into his own presidency?

I wonder if this sleeping bag would prevent something like this from happening? :D (this freaked me out for WEEKS as an 11-year-old back in 1979)

Yep, there is no topping that. Kirk rules!

Jonny Quest scared the crap out of us kids in the 70s! I had nightmares for weeks after seeing the episode "The Invisible Monster," wonder why...
