Thankfully, the brightness anomalies only existed on that oldest monitor - its highest resolution was 640x480, imagine how ancient it was. And then the next monitor, that Trinitron thingie had issue of its own (a.k.a. "turning the brightness up makes everything murky and with a greenish hue").

Wait, what do you mean the people in TV shows aren't real? Next thing you'll probably say is that the plots of these shows are fictional... preposterous, right?

I like weird too, as long as it's not a silly joke. I don't like joke WADs, mostly because they try so hard ot be funny but end not being funny at all.

Ah yes, rope arrows - even I know about them, even though I've never played the game. I also think there were water arrows... I guess I heard about these from conversations between you and Raadec.

Mhmmm, initially I didn't care about backups too, but at some point I started to become paranoid about data loss - my laptop was getting older, and I had some rare stuff that couldn't be found online anymore. Then there were also many unique things - mostly stuff written/designed by me over the years. So I thought I should do something to ensure it can't be lost easily. And eventually decided to start making a serious backup, so that I could restore all my stuff in case the hard drive betrayed me or some other nastiness happened. The hypothetical nastiness never happened, but I feel better knowing that I am prepared in case it does happen...

(sigh) We'll continue the struggle with the printer next week. It can print .doc files, but trying to print a .pdf causes it to go haywire and spew out countless pages of gibberish (until you unplug it).

Oh yes, it's cool to expand horizons, though it was pretty surprising since I know how you generally feel about playing DOS games (the word "grudgingly" often comes to mind). Speaking of embracing the unknown, I keep wondering if ending that Star Wars marathon means you're open to new suggestions...

That sounds deep!
