  1. I wonder if she'll prefer a Steely Dan or a Thin Lizzy when she gets older... ?
  2. I used Duckduckgo until they also started censoring (explicitly mentioned by their CEO). Now I use the Brave search engine on a Brave browser whenever I'm looking for real information (I still use Chrome for other stuff, like roaming here!). Unfortunately, the Internet is quietly being deleted by those that want to "control the narrative" and, in a real sense, what history was. There are a few videos about this (including a few that I've saved), but you can easily test it yourself. Just type in something that should have a LOT of results (and, indeed, used to), like "pizza" or even "love" and, if you get more than 500 actual results, I would be shocked. I just tried "love" using Chrome on Google and it claims 19.2 BILLION results, but on only page 19 provided this message: Clicking the link to "repeat the search with the omitted results included" will now give you 41 pages with 406 results. This behavior is MUCH worse on topics they want to control! On those results, you'll get repeated results from the "sources" they want you to use over and over... Unfortunately, even the better search engines (I've tried several) all use the same sources, so are also impacted. To say this truly sucks is a massive understatement! Test it for yourself! I still remember when there were thousands of pages of results for some topics.
  3. I remember trying very hard to come up with the over $800 needed to get a Commodore-64 when they first came out (about the same as $2,500 now adjusted for inflation). I ended up waiting for the first IBM PC instead since I had access to other computers through the school system. Besides the (teletype-only, acoustic modem) HP-2000 time-share, there were several "Trash" 80's and, in 1984, Apple computers (Whoa! These have COLOR! ?).
  4. Coo Ca Choo > Coo Coo Ca Choo The Beatles - I Am The Walrus
  5. I guess you really did like this one from only three days (or two pages) ago! ?
  6. I was a DJ for four years from late 1980 thru late 1983 and, I guess, I can admit now that, although I would occasionally write it down on the "played" list we were required to keep, I never played it once.
  7. Whoever makes those is pretty good! I thought for sure I'd posted some of the others before, but I just wasted a lot of time trying to find them and failed, so...
