Yep, I got you there MetalExe! I get all my best ideas out in nature. As I mentioned, I have a secondary career/creative hobby doing screenwriting. Sitting down and staring at a screen is where very little actual ideas come from, I get most of my dialouge out walking by the river or in the park, never fails. As for Prince of Persia! I had that on the Super Nintendo when I got one in like 1996. It was 2nd hand and just came with it. I never really got to grips with it and also found it a bit spooky.

Before I wasn’t much in to nature, I was more in to my own fantasy and drawing, still it needed inspiration – occasional nature walk, party with friends or loving someone/muse girl. 🙂 Now I realy relax and think clearly when I chill out near a lake here. My fav. spot on the picture, it got a wood bench nearby to sit 🙂

Yeh I found first Prince of Persia spooky aswell.

It is laughable now that they held 3.5 mb…that was like 8 word documents, as long as you didn’t go crazy with clip art (which lets face it, you did). Some songs would not even fit on them now!.

Yup.  Real programmers learned to do it with punch cards.  That’s all we had when I took my sophomore year programming course in WATFOR/WATFIV.  It wasn’t until I was in grad studies a few years later that I had access to individual terminals and could actually store my code in files in an account.

As for floppy disks, I go back to when they were 5-1/4″.  My old Commodore 64 used them.

I miss the old pc days, when just the “EDUCATED” men were the only ones even ALLOWED to touch such expensive hardware. Damn I miss those days!

Men are at a time when panning for gold in a urinal has a higher probability of success than finding a faithful and loving woman, it is time to go your own way.....

We still use the 1.44 MB floppies at my job.

My first Jump & Run Game – Prince of Persia – came on a 3,5″ floppy, datasize of the game 577KB

I remember this one well, the first time I ever saw it was when I was sent to the local day camp 15 years ago. It fostered a love of DOS games, which lasted well into the decade. Even more so since the computer I had was too old to do much else. I still remember the night my endless searching for a full version of Wolf3D came to fruition.

I would have been happy with technology maxing out around 2002. Everything goes too fast for me now, so I do not even try and keep up.

I would of been ok with that too. Technology has now become a burden and an enslavement.
