<PeterJF> that's how i made it thru 3 OS installs so fast 
<Nathan_Roberts> Because it's starting to seem like the best thing to do is 
                 hunt down all your documents on the PC, dump them off 
                 somewhere, reformat and reinstall 
<PeterJF> all i need is to push the documents off the machine, then i can 
          torch 
<PeterJF> - 
<PeterJF> snap 
... 
<PeterJF> well cool. i'd better crash so i can do all this on time tomorrow

<CrowTRobt> Doctor Pepper kicked a big godzilla ad campaign and poured 
            money into the coffers of the movie compnay that did the 
            american version 
<I_Am_Legend> "Ahhh, I love Dr pepper. now back to watching Godzilla wreck 
              Tokyo." Sheesh 
<CrowTRobt> everytime any one drinks anything in the american scenes added 
            to the movie it si either from a dp can or cup 
<CrowTRobt> the cans and cups with dp on them littered the war room of the 
            pentagon... 
<CrowTRobt> even if the people weren't drinking a cup or can of it was in 
            the scene 
<DeusExMofo> I remember at the time how surreal it was to see no Coke cans 
<I_Am_Legend> There's a DP vending machine in the war room for God's sake 
<CrowTRobt> lol 
<CrowTRobt> yes there is 
<DeusExMofo> Steve Martin inhabited some depraved Coca Cola-free dimension 
<I_Am_Legend> Raymond Burr stands there, looking morose, while the git next 
              to him slurps Pepper non stop 
<I_Am_Legend> I half expected to see Gojira ripping a Dr pepper vat open 
              and sculling 5000 litres after troching Tokyo 
<I_Am_Legend> "Man, anyone who says that fire breath is easy to maintain is 
              lying, lemme tell ya"

          VIC20 screen size to the 64 screen size 
<IWantToKillBillGates> I've been playing with a 64 emulator on and off 
<IWantToKillBillGates> Doing dumb stuff like learning how to program 
                       assembly language on it 
<IWantToKillBillGates> Just because I never got to do it back in my 64 days 
<Alden> Nate: You tremendous geek :)

<CrowTRobt> the things we do to wile our time away 
<Whomiga> Nate - I did lots of that - I have a program I wrote to add 
          commands to basic

          get you into that way of thinking...
