  • At the beginning of this video they are using an early prototype of Face Time :-)

  • @explodingbeefilms We're going to miss the days when you didn't need a make-up artist and dramatic lighting to make a phone call.

  • The apple ii was not a locked in system.

  • @wickedtothemisty I'm not sure where this conversation is going, but you're right about that, the Apple II had published schematics and even source code for the firmware. I think it was Atari who tried to keep it all secret.

  • I think I actually remember watching this show on PBS as a kid. It's at least eeriely familiar.

  • It's possible. The show was produced in Canada but sold to other markets too.

    As long as you're putting on your villiage idiot act don't forget those all imortant "LOLs" and "ROFLs."

    Looking at the warden...I mean wife, "Oh look honey, there goes an IQ waiting to happen."
