91~92 in Toronto at the bloor cinema up on the balcony.
Since I could not understand minsweeper for the life of me and solitaire just got way too easy.
I could spend an entire afternoon playing. A room with AC, some Super Supau and Cadina chips and I was set.
Timing is a bit blurry, but I would guess last time would be around 2001-2004.

Never.
How long since you were in a plane where smoking was allowed in the back?
Boggles my mind that this was still a thing like 25 years ago.
In 1990. Last 3 or 4 rows only. Haha

I’ve got one. I’m in the process of swapping out the wire and switching it to modular.
Anyone know if it is broken or I made a mistake in wiring could I potentially hurt our home phone’s wiring?
I tend to have home improvement Tim Taylor’s luck on certain things…
Friends said there should be no problem.
I did smoke on the toilet of an Aeroflot in the early 90s together with a Russian friend who said “no prablem, carasho!”

I had a mouse with a ball of such size in 1997.

I had one of them, but it was called a trackball.

It had much better graphics in my memory!
Yes it was. I used to sell them. I worked in the product library of the American Mac / Micro Warehouse Store.
I wouldn’t mind trying to find one and try to use it again. Remember having more control with this than a mouse.
You probably recognize the girl on the front cover of the catalog.
When was the last time you bought for this place? They had a great employee discount and offered very low overnight shipping.
Their salaries were not so great.

I really liked it. I used a trackball as the input device for the UI of a music sequencer application which - in retrospect - was considerably ahead of its time in that it accepted standard musical notation. This was on an 8-bit machine driving custom MIDI hardware. If I hadn’t been a lazy, broke 16-year-old I probably could have been a millionaire by now
