@BrianRoemmele I worked at the Olympic Stadium in Lillehammer, Norway, before the 1994 Winter Olympics. They had dozens of IBM PCs with 4 MB of RAM set up for the results service. One night someone stole one of the two 2 MB memory chips from every machine.
@davepl1968 In my small town in Norway in the late 70s you were labeled as a "snob" if you wore Lacoste shirts. Very few could get away with it. Some bought knock-offs in Spain, but if anyone found out you would get a beating.
@BrianRoemmele The ones I remember buying in Norway in the early/mid 80s: Personal Computer News, Popular Computing Weekly, BYTE, PC World, C & VG, several Norwegian and Swedish mags. We would ride our bikes to the local kiosk and impatiently wait for the staff to put the mags on the racks.
@BrianRoemmele Great memories typing in pages and pages of machine code via BASIC DATA statements + POKE on my Sinclair Spectrum. It would always crash until they started including checksums at the end of each line. Sometimes trying to run it without saving to tape first...
@BrianRoemmele Perhaps going back to ms paint thumbnails could work for a while. I purposely made my website look like that back in the early 2000s. Mainly just for fun.
@BrianRoemmele@BrianRoemmele is there anything in those publications about fasting, particularly dry fasting? I did dry fasting in the past (up to 5 days), based on a google translate of a Soviet book. One of very few that has been published. I am assuming there must be more research.
