The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “My Very First Computer!“…

Rayn: My very first computer was an Atari ST 1040, which my father purchased for the family around 1988, when I was just eight years old! So, when I saw my friend sharing this picture on his FB wall a little while ago, it instantly put a smile on my face, and brought back so many childhood memories! Little Green Desktop, for the win!

My favorite game was Alternate Reality: The City! My older brother and I spent many, many hours playing it! Meanwhile, my sister and I loved to take turns playing the game, Mouse Trap! 🙂 Ahh, the days!

Rayn: Your anus is showing. Oh, wait… My bad. That’s just your mouth. Ha! 🙂

Nick M.: Oh hell naw get off the Internet and tell me that

Sara: Let’s not forget Leisure Suit Larry!

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Atari 1040ST PC Version of Introduction Song to the Classic Video Game, ‘Alternate Reality: The City’“…

Rayn: This never ceases to put a smile on my face! 🙂

Alternate Reality – The City: Intro Song [Atari 1040ST PC]:

Steven C.: I never heard of the game

Rayn: It’s from 1986, but I first played it when I was eight years old. Most probably haven’t heard of it, but it’s still one of my favorite games of all time! It brings back so many memories when I listen to the songs from it! I had to upload them to YouTube myself, since I couldn’t find the Atari 1040ST version, which sounds somewhat different from other versions, since it’s from a computer, and not a console, like all of the other ones I found on YouTube. 

Rayn: I was eight years old in 1988, by the way. 🙂

Sara: I love this song. It’s still so catchy!

Rayn: ‘Tis true!

Never Hate on IBM, or Hold the Company Accountable for their Crimes?

The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “IBM Internal Document Outlines Knowledge of Planned Pandemic With 100% Certainty“…

Rayn: IBM Internal Document Outlines Knowledge of Planned Pandemic With 100% Certainty:

Well, well, well… What do we have here? A 2006 IBM internal document showing foreknowledge of an impending pandemic? With “100% chance of occurring within the next 5 years?”

Yes, that would be the same IBM corporation that collaborated with Nazi Germany during World War II to bring us the horrors of the Holocaust – and, profited greatly for their efforts!

Is IBM up to their old tricks? Are they once again colluding with the dark and subversive elements of the world? Will they get another chance to profit from misery and death – this time, in an apparently inevitable manufactured pandemic? Will the governments of the world hire IBM to do the “grisly math” that will be “required” after the next “crisis” hits, just as the Nazis once did?

Kenny C.: I will never hate on IBM. They are the MAIN reason we are on the computer right now, and the reason we have the capabilities we do today.

Besides that, u kno back in 2006 there was alot of shit to anticipate even then, Avian Flu, Mad Cow and others that i forgot… They may or may not have been refering to H1N1

Rayn: I will ALWAYS hate on IBM, along with any other soulless corporate entity that sells out humanity in pursuit of power, profit or control!

Did you ever worder WHY IBM is even considered “the MAIN REASON” we have the PCs? Since the company denies all culpability in their collaboration with the Third Reich during WWII, and historical documents prove that IBM leased custom-configured punch-card machines to the Nazis, along with exclusively-made punch-cards, while running on-site customer service stations in most of Hitler’s concentration camps to provide monthly tune-ups to their hardware, we know that they are nothing more than lying war-criminals and war-profiteers, still covering their tracks to this day. And, because of IBMs efforts to whitewash their actions, we still know very little about the overall dealings that constituted this evil collaboration between corporation and goverment.
