I remember how long it took to get hold of rocky 3 from Armley Drive In Video back in the day. Back then they'd only have 2 copies at most of the latest.
Who were the grange hill girls??

Of course for many of us here, our youths before Blcokbuster would have been hiring a VHS or Betamax video for the weekend from a local independent video shop. Back in the days when it took years sometimes before films left the cinema and were released on video.Quote:

He'd come in 6-8 tapes at once and withing a few years had a library a thousand flicks deep. I do believe that is where I got my initial push into editing and trading fight tapes. And he'd get big pissed when I "borrowed" a couple blanks to transfer to.Quote:

Lightning fast 20MHz processor, only eight and a half thousand. From 1989.
Mouse support too. You could probably get a mouse included for under ten thousand. :)
it would seem like common sense to turn your whole body if you couldn't see rather than potentially walking into oncoming traffic. my dad used to tell me about people who would stick forks in the plug sockets or knives in toasters with the power still on or eat pills because they thought they were candy. said it was a form of natural selection to weed out the moronsQuote:

It is called lack of peripheral vision. Makes it very difficult to see the whole picture.Quote:
