Here’s a fun little doo-dad for our old-timers that are confounded by the internets and miss their favorite BBS:   Dial-Up Google   It’s a fully-functional Google search page, ’80s style! Throw away your mouse, turn on Mtv, and start griping about what they’ve screwed up with the new-fangled 2400 baud!

……is GREAT!!!!!! Robo, MR Community member, picked up a copy of the newly released game for the Wii……. All the original Ghostbusters are present, as well as some of the other cast members of the movie – The caricatures look just like them, and, from what I can tell, they did all the sound bytes […]

What “Peanut Head” writes those games, anyway?……. I have a Motorola V60i which is ancient by today’s standards and it has only three games on it in the first place…… You’d think that they would make them so that you could at least have a 50-50 chance of winning – better still, they should be […]
