I had the name Inigo Montoya on a toon in WOW, but they took it away after about a year, they said I lost precedence when the server merged. I was angry, haven’t played WOW for years. Now play POE, path of exile, it’s free, it’s fast and it’s better than diablo 3.

dear usagi,
I am not of the ‘gameboy’ generation, so, either ‘game’ mentioned, i have no knowledge of.

I am of the generation that learned to use the Univac 1050-II data processing system, complete with large reels of magnetic tape, punchcard creation and translation equipment, remote teletype machines with coded punch ribbons. WE are the generation, that begat the 8088 IC, the 555 IC timer circuit, that begat the ARPANET, that began the computer revolution.

There were NO computer graphics, no moving images, no sounds. I utilized such machinery, as we called it then, for the receipt, control, inventory, and issuance of military supplies, for everything from personal issue equipment, to tools, to crates of ‘c-rations’ (there were no MRE’s then either), to aircraft avionic, mechanical, and complete assemblies, such as aircraft engines, 24/7/365.
