As a retro enthusiast, I love Tom Paris' interest in early-to-mid-20th-century American culture and technology.

For me, I grew up with a lot of outdated hand-me-down stuff, and I've acquired many retro items, including some boxy portable computers. I also grew up on the Three Stooges, Original Star Trek and TNG, and old Disney movies, to name a few. Since around 2011, I also love classic Doctor Who, MST3K and the hammy old-style serials and movies they show, as well as the vintage shows that MeTV airs.

I have a few digital-electronic CRT TVs, but what I'd love to have is a vacuum-tube TV set (B&W preferable) similar to the one that Tom gets from B'Elanna in "Memorial", and do what he does: just sit down to relax after a long day, watch some wholesome, old, fun, now-public-domain television programs from the internet piped in from a computer adapter, and have a bowl of popcorn. (Seriously, when did modern TV shows get so gritty and grimdark?)

We never realized it as kids, but with its cheap budget, but also its complexity and its various story arcs (including stories about marriage, death, and birth), Sesame Street eventually turned into an educational soap opera FOR kids.

A (Not Yet) Complete NEC ProSpeed 386

Don't worry, it still has its keyboard faceplate, it's just because I haven't closed up the computer yet so I can add a 387 co-processor to it. (which comes in on Monday) This is one of the best retro computers I've ever had. This thing is a battlestation! It's huge, but not overly imposing, the keyboard feels nice, and the power supply is a beast! All Nichicon capacitors, with NO leakage!

A cool 1.5 MB of RAM built-in? It'll play most VGA MS-DOS games of the era right out of the box! I want to try Wolfenstein 3D, though. I hope I can find a memory module that I can reverse-engineer.

This system's screen is very unique, though. The LCD panel works on a mixture of flat-flex cables and zebra connectors. (as in, the wires on the cable presses against a zebra connector on a separate LCD panel, I think.) I opened it because I got some lines on the screen, but strangely, they only show up in higher-res modes. As for the display's abilities, it's VERY clear, even considering the low-response DSTN technology of the time.

The most amazing thing, though, is that this baby's hard drive STILL works, and it's a 100 MB drive, to boot!

The only thing I've currently done to modify this system was clean the flux off of the PCBs, and add a new CMOS battery pack that I can access through the expansion port. (which I can't use because I've never seen a card that I would be able to use on this system. They exist, but they're rare, and for very specific purposes.)

BOYCOTT PARAMOUNT.

Paramount, how dare you neglect to properly censor Star Trek 6 for the past 35 years. My children watch your shows and movies, and yet you BLATANTLY put an explicit laiporet on display! I want a bright, hopeful future, not a sleazy, debaucherous porno!

CENSOR YOUR ADULT CONTENT, PARAMOUNT. Until then, you've lost a customer in Star Trek!

What's the interpretation here? Did Strong Sad think Strong Bad was actually the Brothers Strong's great-grandmother, or did he take an opportunity to troll Strong Bad and get him out of his (non-existent) hair for a bit?

This video seems to only exist in a select few places, so I've decided to archive it here.

Old Digital Display Unit

I am a high school theatre teacher and I have had this old display unit in a closet for as long as I’ve been here. It seems to work, but just needs to be programmed. I always thought it would be cool to put it to use, but never took the time to research it until now. It appears the company that manufactured it (Data Display Corp. Boulder, CO) is no longer a company and the phone number for service is not operational. I have no clue where I would even start to try and figure out how to program this, if it’s even possible.

It appears that it may require a special keyboard or input device, but all my Google searches have yielded nothing helpful.

Any help would be appreciated

After 18 years, I just realized the reason for the quote that Shark-Tooth Bubs' Character says at the end of The Curly Fried Caper...

He says "...Or did you?" It's a villainous subversion of Dangeresque's catchphrase: "...Or did I?" I never thought it was so obvious...

[TOMT] [Anime] [Early 2000s] A really badly-made anime

I remember seeing it on a streaming chat site a long time ago, around 2009, but the anime itself was made or released around 2003/2004.

It was badly voiced, had stilted and often no animation, and began with a really cheap and gaudy film intro (with hot pink Bauhaus-style text and soft-focus sparks in the background) that looked more out of the 1970s or 1980s. I remember it wasn't actually made in Japan, but rather Indonesia or thereabouts. I wanted to say it was made by a person whose name was similar to "Joseph Lai" (producer of Space Thunder Kids, equally as crappy), but I can't remember the name of the producer. The title was something like "Lover & Slave", but again, I can't remember exactly.
