Isabelle Joseph Hatem, notre mère bien-aimée, est décédée fin août 2023. Les funérailles ont eu lieu à Beyrouth, Liban. Au début de sa vie d'adulte, elle s'est rendue au Liban où elle a fondé une famille. Ceux qui l'ont aimée et chérie se souviendront chaleureusement d'Isabelle.

@ATRightMovies IMO the movie had more to do with the NASA space shuttle than Star Wars.

After Star Wars blew up in 1977, the Bond producers ripped up their plans and fast-tracked MOONRAKER ahead of For Your Eyes Only, pumping up the space angle to ride the sci-fi wave.

@CaptAmericaTx @PR0GRAMMERHUM0R I used a mix of BASIC and machine code. The machine code was mostly Peek and Poke commands. It was very effective. I also looked up a manual that listed the machine code commands for the Amstrad CPC.

@PR0GRAMMERHUM0R Context: Modern programmers regard assembly language as an obscure topic, of interest only to compiler writers or embedded system developers. But in 1981 (book meme) assembly was the only way to code decent apps (programmers of the era refused to use Microslop Basic).

@WarrenLNaida @corememunlocked IMHO the toy would be real. In the late 1960, battery-operated toys would be sometimes made out of tin. The other images are generated by A.I.

@corememunlocked This is so cool! If it is real ;o)

@Winged_Reptile Now you have to learn how to use chatGPT. Because no one said they are computer illiterate. What was said is they can’t make AI videos. Now tell us about how the grandma of your distant cousin is an AI video expert.

Sadly this is 100% correct

@LBFlyawayhome This other book taught me how to tell time on an analog clock. I asked my mom a few questions, because some of it was a bit confusing. The Ladybird series gave Sesame Street a run for its money.

@brockpierson CD player for games, the multimedia ones. CD burner for data, DVD player for movies and DVD burner to output Adobe Premiere video.

Did you own a CD burner back in the day when they used to cost upwards of $300?

@MikeBales 1964.

Gen-Xers have been mentally preparing for nuclear annihilation since the '80s, so honestly, the whole Iran situation just feels like nostalgia.

@dlbook @horrormuseum @Winged_Reptile @Rambostriceps It’s a low IQ thing (not even kidding - it has been proven). Some people are incapable of abstract thinking. For example: I say: Mexican men are short Dumb low IQ responds: The mexican goalie in 1978 was 6’5

@ComputerLove_ In 2000, I produced digital videos on the Quantel Editbox. Video output was to digital Betacam. The OS had a GUI but the command line took DOS-like commands. You unlocked hidden features by paying the manufacturer. The final training video I watched was truncated at the end.

Before Photoshop there was Paintbox by Quantel (1981)

@Rambostriceps I don't think a boomer knows how to make it

@Dystopian_Dawn I had this. It made excellent drawings using mix-and-match stencils of the head, the torso and the legs. Excellent quality.

Anyone remember these?!?! I loved this! It got me into drawing.
