I watched Hackers for the first time last week, and oh my god, I didn't realise how terrible it would be. It made 'The Net' look like a computing documentary by comparison!
Some things shouldn't be remade, just in case we accidentally make them even worse! 😂

This reminds me of a game that I saw lots of adverts for in magazines, but never got to play. I was excited when I got a demo disk for "Joe and Mac" on the cover of PC Zone (I think) but the disk was faulty and wouldn't read. Some day I'll play it!

That sounds more like a Terminator than a toddler - I'd be careful!

Is that compatible with a Vesa mount? Looks like it might be designed to screw straight onto the back of a monitor, or between a monitor and a Vesa mount stand/arm.

Ah, it looks good. I thought it was an official model!

I've never seen a vintage Mac in a silver case before - always beige. What model is that one? 🤔

We used to play some kind of shipping game or simulation on the beeb, that would play speech with weather warnings. It didn't do it often, so we'd all be really excited when we heard the computer talk! No idea what that game was called though

Nice! Used to play the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on one of these. Does yours have the 8086 'copilot' board to let you run MS-DOS?

I may have snuck in 'the final countdown' and 'Don't you forget about me' to a digital station being shut down many moons ago. It seemed only fitting.

Fair point. I don't think I ever tried to do that from the command line in 9x - I assumed ipconfig existed there as well.

I always felt that winipcfg should have existed on Windows 2000/xp and above. I resented having to open a command prompt to run ipconfig, when there used to be a tool to do it for you on windows 9x
