Whenever I see a Win95 screenshot I'm hit with a flood of nostalgia, fond memories for a time when things were fresh and new, there were surprises (some good, some bad).

I really do think that...

Does not accept RF input.

Can modern TVs accept this directly?

It's been a long time since I've even seen something that worked by RF. Perhaps it was my N64.

I think these are a good idea. They aren't so widespread out here in Aus yet though. I saw one in the father-in-laws house when we visited last year, it also showed cost estimations.

I try not to...

We donated our beautiful & immaculate 42" Pioneer Plasma screen to Cornwall Air Ambulance four weeks back. - All for a good cause I guess, but..... *sigh*[/QUOTE]

Was it a Kuro?

I loved plasma...

I think I'm going to upscale the entire world by getting my eyes checked and getting some glasses :blink:

How easy is it to find decent CRTs nowadays?

Me and some friends all had a bunch of pretty nice 28 inchers (!) back in the early 2000s but once things started moving over to decent flat panels,...

It's good to see that they didn't just 'bung in an OLED' but did something a little bit more thoughtful and considered. Nice.

Her throwing away the computers is shocking to us.

But if I was doing a house clearance, would I know the difference between some expensive fine china, and crappy replica stuff? Would I know what...

As impressive as all of this undoubtedly is.... does it make the games any more fun to play?

I also misread that logotype and thought the brand was called OCOOL instead of...

It's not flooded, it's a water-cooled house.

It does look good, and I like the A-Z (ant to zombies) title. These look like the sort of book that I'd appreciate, but my house is full of junk already and I don't want to add more.... plus I'm...

Pfft, slacker

A more than reasonable and appropriate approach. It'd be nice to see new developments but they can wait.

I now realise the 'strikethrough' tags are from...

I do sometimes. I'm not very good at sports games though, but I've had some fun there.

The way you describe it does sound very Mass Effect-y to me.

And I loved ME 1 and 2 (for some reason, number 3 just didn't get its hooks into me the same way that the others did). I even quite...

That sounds like the kind of game that would appeal to me. Do Settlers game require a big time commitment or can they be done in shorter 'pick up n play' bursts?

Keith Stuart is a pretty good games journo, he's certainly lived that life, rather than just be asked to write about it. Similar age to us, so was part of the 8 and 16 bit eras, he has written about...

Ive never played a settlers game, but that does look nice. Is there combat / conflict in settlers games? I feel kind of like I'd enjoy a game a bit like Civilization but without the rush to fighting...

It's equally probable that my excellent advice - even if you didn't take it - made a difference

I remember the Special Reserve adverts in the back of the Amiga magazines - I recall they had a lot of good offers (free games if you bought X, possibly a free joystick, something like that), at...

I get that some things can't be supported for ever, and it's not feasible to keep with the expense of something that's not really being used much but it does seem a shame to delete the whole page and...

True. He wasn't mega into it, but was quite supportive of it. I could see every now and then the idea of messing about with a computer grabbed him. I think in reality he was too time poor (he worked...

Have you considered buying a new screen, a new PC, all new cables, perhaps a new home for all these things, and also perhaps offering a sacrifice to the A/V gods?

I have vague recollections that my dad used to buy Crash or Zzap, every now and then, when we had the Spectrum (I can't remember which, or why, possibly he was swayed by the tape on the cover).

While we are in hypothetical land, Can multiple PSUs be used in one PC? Or will they sit idly by because only one is connected to the motherboard?

The maths is probably simple-ish to work out but I probably won't bother.

I did spend time searching to see if anyone had _actually_ done it in the real world and didn't come up with much other...
