Anyone get any retro hardware, software, movies or music ?
I was given 3 NES games (Ghosts 'n Goblins, Strider, and Willow). Looking forward to those, yes even Ghosts 'n Goblins (had it as a kid).
I didn't get anything retro for PC - thought about asking for a Dallas RTC chip for a socket-4 I intend to put together, but that seemed too obscure.
Heard it snowed again at my old place in CA, but as is typical there I don't think it was quite cold enough to stick around. Snow that stays through the day was always a much rarer event. It was a funny spot, very often just a few hundred feet below the snowline, and you'd cross into a snowy zone if you went anywhere.
Here in FL it was party town as usual. Somebody rented a bouncy castle, saw some kids riding (new?) bikes and some kids got a new go-cart. Heard some fireworks go off the last couple nights.
The last few times I've seen them, some of the family's kids have always wanted to play Truck Simulator on my PC with the wheel setup. I thought I'd surprise them by installing a snow mod. This time they had better things to do and didn't ask to play. Oh well.
