I grew up in Georgia, and when I was in elementary school, my mom had a friend with a couple older boys who lived in California. Every year, when they would grow out of their clothes, I would get a giant box of the coolest California clothes like Op and Quicksilver. I used to think I was so cool in school.

I had one. They were giving them away for free at Radio Shack.

It was the vending machine underground or in some tunnel in Monkey Island 2. It's been a while since I played through that one again.

Oh yeah, my Dad was a cheapskate. No way he was going to pay for a 1 900 number lol.

Yep, on the ScummVM. I've played through all the Lucas arts games. I remember where I got stuck on Monkey Island and felt so dumb when I figured out what I wasn't doing.

I remember playing this with my Dad. We got to some point in the later game and got stuck and couldn't continue. Same thing happened with Monkey Island.

Back before the internet, we didn't really have any way to get help. There was probably a number you could call, but I can't remember.

Typing abusive is a trigger for them.

I've generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn't, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn't actually function.

Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn't that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

Not really. It'll be fine. An amp that puts out 25W per speak will blow those speakers if you turn it up to max volume on a good reciever.

"Now what they know about the banana and mayonnaise?"

If you don't need 4k and or 120hz, there are probably a million of them that people dumped when they were forced to upgrade :/
