Next time I'm down at my parents house I might have to see if I can dig up the old CP/M machine that I had. It was in a home made plywood case with an 8" floppy drive. I'd have to hook it up to a dumb terminal to get the full effect.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I came in to post this as an add-on to the Ubuntu tips, but it occurs me that it's multi-platform and very cool: Is anyone else using Democracy Player? It's an iTunes-y looking video podcast aggregator, video player, and bittorrent client; it plays a whole slew of video formats, handles high definition, downloads YouTube/Google Vid content and (possibly) takes out the trash.
Good thing hard drives are cheap these days. Oy.

Dude, I'd make a Frankenbox merit badge for this if you didn't already own the category.
because, yes, I am once again wasting time

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there a free or open-source version of CP/M? I've always wanted to try it - maybe I'll install it on a virtual machine on my MacBook.
eta: Ooh - I just decided that someone needs to create a virtual punchcard reader/writer. Just because....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I downloaded Democracy a few weeks back, but I haven't had time to play with it yet.

All is well that ends in pizza.
So, what should I do with the three old kaypro machines in my mom's garage?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Set 'em up as Linux dual boots. That'll earn you a merit badge for sure.

Okay, despite downloading and installing EasyUbuntu, Totem is still not liking any of the video and audio mp3s I try to play through the Internet.
Now, the download page for EasyUbuntu told me to run two commands from the terminal, which I just copied and pasted, but I wonder if I'm still doing something wrong, or if there's things I need to do with Firefox.
