I miss Blockbusters and Hollywood Video stores.

I would still visit them today if they were around.

There is still a video rental chain called Family Video. There are a lot of stores in places where people haven't figured out that you can stream everything over wifi (like Oklahoma and the upper midwest).

Napster looks very similar to Qbittorent.

Not that I would know what that looks like.

Dirty balls were always a problem. And nobody wants to work with dirty balls! Luckily, back in the day we had these instructions for replacing your balls:



If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement.

Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method.

Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method.. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.

Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

Back in the 90s, Ed McMahon used to front those ads

Ahh I didn't even see gigemags had posted a screenshot from the game.

So many hours spent playing that game.

I would always want to play either Doom or Leisure Suit Larry when I visited my uncle's house and we would have to get him to pass the age verification quiz for us in order to play the game. Good times as an 8 year old.

Haha, the days of the image slowly downloading line by line to eventually reveal the treasure. Then you had the interlaced images where every other line loaded first and eventually it was filled in on the next pass thru the image.

Those are called Werther's Original. Senility is a hell of an illness.
