There’s too many to list but Zelda 2 was the first game I finished. It was a collaborative effort, using a book, but my friend Frosty and I stayed up all night (this was in junior high so this was a big deal) and finished it. Fond memories.

Thanks! I've got tighter pants but the issue is just above my belt line so it looks WORSE for a bit. However progress is still happening. Thanks for the info, friend!

Thanks friend! I appreciate the advice and encouragement. Down to below 80kgs for the first time in 25 years now!

I'm running, doing core and arm workouts and eating well, and losing weight - but I can't seem to shift the belly fat.

Is it just a case of "keep going" and it'll go?

(I've been working out / watching calories for about 2 months and dropped 4 kg, and gone from a 34 to a tight 32 on my pants (trousers). It's just the damn spare tire.)

I hit 4k on my journey back to 5k and lost enough weight that I'm now the same waist size I was in high school (a looong time ago!)

@LJay71 I believe you youngsters still say "yolo," right? If you've got the space and the coin, go for it. I have a PowerBook 150 (in pieces) but the dopamine hit from the nostalgia is real!

@LJay71 awesome! Thanks for sharing. The G3 was such an exciting set of systems.

 

I wonder how long everyone here has been using Apple equipment. I’m an old greybeard so we’re taking 68k era for me. Well, Apple II really!! Then PowerPC then Intel and some newton and og iPod and of course iOS.

What’re everyone‘s Apple history? I’d be interested to hear!

Since I'm an old greybeard - BBS's. It blew my young mind that you could connect your computer to another one and communicate with people.

Email is a close second for the same reason - pre-WWW I should point out haha!
