    Dude you dont get the joke: saying fresh is from the early 90s, a time where having a color laptop was kinda amazing...

    Shadowlayer, whether some other people wants to stand up, or not. Then I will stand up, and tell you this. I don´t get your so-called humour, and neither does a lot of other members too. Or else they don´t think the "jokes" or your humor is fun. And frankly, some people sees you as an asshole. And other ways, you could seriously be a thread killer, but I am not letting you kill this thread. Like you have done with other threads. Sorry to be so honest about it.

    What I could understand from whatever you just wrote, you're the typical case of the the pot calling the kettle black.

    Seriously, whats wrong with you? you keep spewing crap at everybody for no logical reason. I dont see we have a personal problem, so why you keep perpetrating?

    Just look at what you did 1 post above: you didnt get the joke so you went crazy at me. Chill the fuck down dammit!

    No one else wants to stand up to him because he didn't do anything...

    Indeed, I thought it was quite a good joke as a number of laptops in the 90s still had mono displays or if they had colour displays they were DSTN and looked blurry, washed out and the screen was too white. I remember the memory checks just being a blur of numbers...

    Also Fresh was a very much a 90s thing, reminds me of the UK kids Saturday morning TV show Get Fresh which had Starglider as a weekly challenge. :) The Atari ST looking amazing. :D

    Your jokes are better than his, WDK. I get a little laugh from almost everything you post.

    Have you heard the joke, about the cannibal who became disappointed when he ordered a danish, and got a piece of pastry.

    You're not supposed to put a 'laughing smiliey' before or after a joke on an internet forum. It kills the joke (it's like you're laughing at your own joke IRL)!

    This site has abandonware, like Oregon Trail & Super Munchers: http://www.the-underdogs.info/

    I rest my case:nod:

    And DKs jokes are funny in a "whats he sayin'?" kind of way, like that Bobby Lee's character in MADtv who keeps making errors when translating.

    Anyway, about classic PC games, see if you can run a ST emu on that, since at a time there were better games on it than for PC.

    Måske, skriver jeg ikke særligt godt engelsk, men i det mindste forstår jeg alt hvad der bliver sagt og skrevet. Så luk røven, fordi her stinker af møg.
    Og hvad så om, mine kommaer er alle steder. Og alt det andet, men luk røven, fordi her stinker.

    Posting in a language that is foreign to many of the members here will surely prove your point!

    I take it WDK has never heard of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

    Now this is the story all about how
    My life got flipped, turned upside down
    And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
    Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

    In west philadelfia born and raised
    On the playground where I spent most of my days
    Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys said were up in no good
    Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

    (only the first three episodes of season one)

    I begged and pleaded with her the other day
    But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
    She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
    I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

    First class, yo this is bad,
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
    Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
    Hmm this might be alright!

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
    Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
    If anything I could say that this cab was rare
    But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

    I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
    And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
    Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
    To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

    On a funnier note, Nick at Nite was showing Home Improvement reruns, and some guy in 1996 was saying something about his laptop and was like "This baby has 125 megabytes of RAM!" and I was laughing at how dated it was. Actually, it might have been a lot smaller.

    FRESH PRINCE 4 EVAH :clap:

    Man, that show was friggin' cool, lol.

    And for WDK's comment, try using Google's Translator to translate it from danish :confused:

    I don't want to get involved in any trouble but I did find Shadowlayer's comment about the laptop really funny, besides Silverbolt said he got that laptop for mere oldschool gaming reasons, not as if it was the best he could afford, which in that case, Shadowlayer's comment would've been a bit aggressive, but it's clearly not the case.

    I know I don't have been around here for a long time as to give my opinion in a discussion like this, but I just felt the need to add that comment.

    Uh, and following the line of the games, Silverbolt, you could also try with the first ElderScrolls, never tried it myself though.

    Of course I have heard of Fresh prince of motherfucking Bell Air, but you are bloody forgetting. That back in the 90´s we didn´t have so many damn English words in the Danish language, and second of all. It was not a custom, using words from TV series. And second of all Fresh is still not used. After all, a lot of the names of different TV series was getting Danish titles. Even though we could read the English names. They just did have the Danish names. And that is nothing new, heck even back in the 70´s and 80´s (and probably before) TV series had sometimes Danish names for them.

    http://translate.google.com/transla...83534&postcount=111&hl=da&ie=UTF8&sl=da&tl=en

    God, google has a funny way of translation Danish. And welcome to the world of bad translation.

    Heres a typical 1970s memory expansion board for the S-100 bus
    This one contains 32x1Kbit chips giving a massive 4KBytes of ram expansion :p

    he he , well back in the day. The cool parts were almost always homemade. And I do have about 30 electronics magazines from the 80´s.

    the magazines are popular electronics, and new electronics. And both of them had an audio section too. In the magazines . Well I think I have more than 40 of those magazines. But back then homemade stuff, was the shit.

    I just wanted to say thanks to WolverineDK for posting that link for Boppin, it was a blast playing that game for the first time in forever!! now if i could find my discs for Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle id be set ( <----- completely forgot about those 2 games, DOTT was hilarious, at least when i played it for the first time when i was like 12 or 13) i cant remember who mentioned them ( sorry!!), but it definately inspired me to try and locate them again, plus, IIRC, i never finished Maniac Mansion.
