admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in 1970s Computers
I used to work on a computer every day that had a stainless steel hard drive as big as a car steering wheel, and NO monitor.
The output was on a wide bodied dot matrix printer with holes on both sides, with paper on a continuous roll below the table.
In 1971 it cost $26,000, and was as big as a desk.

admin reacted to LNN in Freddie Mercury's - 'Love Of My Life' by Queen
In the 1970s, Mercury was in a long-term relationship with Mary Austin and they lived together in West Kensington, London. However, when he told her about an affair he’d begun with a male record executive in 1976, their relationship ended. Mercury bought Austin a place of her own when they both moved out of the flat they shared.

Rest in Secret
To this day, Mercury’s final resting place is unknown. After his death on November 24, 1991, his body was cremated, and his ashes were kept in an urn by his lifelong friend, Mary Austin. Two years later, Austin quietly left her house with the urn, fulfilling Mercury’s wishes to be covertly laid to rest without risk of disturbance. Not even his parents were told, and Austin has kept the secret of where the star’s final resting is to this day.

Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
Obrigado
You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you (I still love you)
I still love you
Oh, hurry back, hurry back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooh, eh (alright)
Songwriters: Freddie Mercury

admin reacted to TrueTomHarley in Captain Kirk and his Jupiter 8, 1965
I used to think that William Shatner was the biggest jerk & I still haven’t absolved him completely. But I am fast getting there.
What has turned me is noting how he delights in self-parody. He knows that he is a wooden actor. He knows that he has, for whatever reason, gone far beyond his talent. He accepts it all as a happy “one of those things” and joins his critics in ridiculing himself.
My wife and I saw him in a Colombo rerun, playing a media star villain. It was impossible for someone to deliberately ham it so poorly, he was doing it on purpose, making fun of himself. The kicker was a scene when his character passes by the most prominently displayed oversized painting in his mansion—a portrait of himself!

@James Thomas Rook Jr. I found out today that these things are loaded with preservatives... I mean a whole paragraph of chemicals.
But still delicious.
