My First Computer
Oct. 26th, 2007 02:45 amI can remember my first computer. Well, it wasn't mine, of course, but I was allowed to use it. It was around 84-86, but I could never remember exactly. I still can't. What I remember is this green on black screen and a game that helped me tell the time (in English). There was this monkey that climbed up the pole a notch every time you guessed what time it was. If you got five in a row, it'd get to the top and do a silly little dance.

I am miffed.
Nov. 5th, 2006 03:35 pmOh yes. I am totally and utterly miffed. And obsessed. All because my cries for help were not heard. Seriously, is it that hard to stop me from looking up old 80s cartoons? I think not. Instead, you all joined in! Which means that the floodgates of memory have been ripped off their hinges and I've spent most of this morning googling and wiki-ing for those hard-to-find shows I watched as kid.
Do you have any idea how bloody hard it is to find a cartoon when all you remember is a big purple whooping thing from the planet Zyrgnoff which shot pink mind-rays at people? (No, that wasn't an actual cartoon. That was what we call 'an example'. I hope. Oh, I hope to god it's an example and not a memory I'd hitherto suppressed...)
And to top it all off, I still have the bloody Seabert bloody theme song bloody stuck in my bloody head.
So...I decided to share with you the results of my (and #afp's) labours. So, sit back, relax and see how many of these shows you've watched. (Feel free to cringe, whimper and curse, by the way, but don't throw stuff at me. Unless it's more links...)
