Man, I love Japan.
I really wanted to go there after my 'schooling' in the Army, but went to Berlin, Germany, instead. Certainly better than Nam, though.

Well, my semi-current favorite 'dance song' is Uptown Funk (the Video has over 2.1 billion views!). If you don't wanna bust-a-move when you're listening to that, you might be dead.
I like Lady Gaga's Perfect Illusion, too (mostly the chorus verse, or whatever ya call it ("It wasn't love, it wasn't love, it was the perfect illusion") - American Horror Story used it for the 'backround music' in their TV ad). Also, as a side note, I was about 13 when I saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, and I still love She Loves You (perhaps a teenage nostalgic thing...), although I don't listen to it much these days. Thanks to a radio station, my music library is 175,000+ tunes. I'm gonna try and make a couple of 'Old School' tunes (one of which was probably from before many of you were born) available to you youngin's, that might surprise you.

Plus, the ol' Marsupial Mailbox.
BTW, how in the heck do you put text between pictures? I felt the older Forum was much easier to get your Post to appear as you wanted it. With this one, I've deleted/removed images from a Post, but there they appear, anyway. Guess I need to figure out what the hell I'm doin'.

Well, only in Japan, for now. Who knows, they might be worth somethin' in the future, after a Zombie Apocalypse, or whatever.

Kingston will be releasing a 2TB FlashDrive next month: DataTraveler Ultimate GT

Yup, there's now a 64-bit version that runs on Windows 10 (etc.).
Click on the cute little guy below, if you'd like to visit the Website.
P.S. That's a screenshot of 'em walkin' around on my Desktop. -

Their top pick was Battlefield 1, but click here to view the entire list - they sorta did it by catagory.

This may be the answer to my Intellivision Emulation Controller difficulties: Intellivision Ultimate PC Interface. Does anyone have any experience with this thing?
-
Most of ya have probably already checked it out, but some good deals (I think).
I snagged Grim Fandango Remastered for $2.99.

NAOS QG Mouse - it has a heart-rate monitor! Awesome!
Does battling horrific monsters cause you stress? Find out.
It'd be fun (maybe) to see how my heart-rate spikes when I'm having a serious issue with Windows, too.

I still own over 2000 physical console game originals, but they're all in storage and being enjoyed by nobody. I once dreamed of those wall-to-wall setups, but lack of space and the (welcome) additions to family meant it never came to anything.
Now I am sort of glad I never had it all set up like that. I've gone digital and have enjoyed browsing my LaunchBox library way more than I ever managed with my real library. For that I am very grateful to you guys Jason and Brad.
Now if I could only stop my new addiction of buying digital PC Games!
Over 2K? Wow! What are you going to do with them? Could be one of those crazy sales on eBay.
Some members of this Forum might be interested in a few of them. To me, one of the things about a 'collection', is having it on display, and to be admired, or even cherished to some extent, perhaps. Therefore, I can certainly appreciate your dream of the wall-to-wall setup. But, you're in the Digital Age now, so your choice of LaunchBox was great, IMHO.
LaunchBox/BigBox is suprelative (whoa, I haven't used that word for a long time
) for a digital (aka, non-tactile) collection, in terms of being able to 'display' it, among many other attributes.
Good luck on the addiction. I suspect many Forum members are similar addicts.

Nice! I always did like 'street justice'.
Hey, that's probably why I liked the movie, Death Wish (I only saw the original), so much. -
In the spirit of miscellaneousness, check this out.
Can you believe how close this asshole parked to my car (mine's on the right)? I had to leave before they returned, so I never got to confront them. Argh!
If there hadn't been security cameras at the school across the street, I probably would've totaled that car with a hammer!

Thanks, DOS. Suprisingly, it all went fairly well - the dreaded cast has been removed, so I can drive and take showers again, etc.
P.S. I'm having Video Card issues. Where do you think would be the best place/Forum/Topic for me to post a plea for help?

I finally got around to watching Captain America: Civil War. I liked it. I pretty much like all the Marvel flicks.
Anyone planning on going to see Assassin's Creed next week?
I might watch Warcraft or Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tonight, but as DOS76, I've been doing more 'series' binge-watching, as well.
Might be a long night as I gotta start prepin' for a colonoscopy tomorrow.
Most of ya are probably way too young to be needing colonoscopies, but the 'prep' is 'crappy'. I wish I woulda remembered to get some Depends. I'm supposed to get my cast off tomorrow, too.

For you purveyors of Peta-Bytes, this may interest you, although it's clearly aimed at businesses that need to migrate insane amounts of data.
AWS Snowball (an Amazon Web Service). It’s long been known that the fastest data transfer rate can be physical media delivered by courier. Amazon has taken this to an extreme, by announcing Snowmobile, an 18-wheeler semi-trailer truck that will carry 100 petabytes (100PB) in a shipping container from the customer premises for upload to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, with a crap-load of Snowballs in the back of the truck.

Well, if you haven't, it's bad-ass, non-volatile memory technology.
Up to 1000x faster and more durable than NAND, and 10x the density of DRAM. Check out the demo of Rob Crooke (Senior VP and GM of Intel's Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group) transferring a file at nearly 2GB/s! using 3D XPoint-based Optane SSDs. 2GB/second?!?! Nice!
If you've read any of my stuff in the past, you'll know I love hardware advancements. I suspect this one (2GB/s transfer speeds) might give our prestigious contributor, DOS76, a Nerdgasm, as he would phrase it.

Thanks, Brad. That sounds quite simply - no wonder I couldn't figure it out.
