ah getting off topic a bit!
anyways, remember when you were growing up and what the video games were? for me it was the Atari with pong and a few others.. the simplest forms of entertainment.. i mean its hard to imagine now how sitting there with 2 long sticks and a ball in the shape of a square kept us entertained for hours on end.. than things got *high tech* and you had the colorful yellow circle with a *slice of pie* missing that ate dots and tried run from colored *ghosts* and eat them when they turned blue.. yes the loveliness that is known as pacman.. toss a bow on him and he becomes mrs pacman.. go up a game level and not a whole lot changed.. always the same basic concept the whole time.
of course this is back when the top of the line computer in our house was a commodore 64 with a floppy disk drive that actually held floppy disks. where dad would somehow get video games and we would play for hours on it using the TV for a computer screen.
my favorite was the night that dad tried this *love sight* you know to hook him up with his mrs right, looking back i have no clue how it would have worked after all this was years before the internet was in every ones homes but dad sat there on stool with us girls right there typing in information.. height, weight, chest size, you name it they asked it and he got about halfway threw what would be his *profile* in these days and it switched back to the same questions all over again. he automatically assumed that they were asking about what he was looking for so he started to type in what he wanted in a woman..
it was funny to see him be all *computer'y* and typing the information in.. but looking back on it, i wonder what would have happened if he turned it in or whatever he was supposed to do with it, would he have ended up meeting the man of his dreams because they thought he was a tall slender big busted woman?
music on the computer back than was again a floppy disk that dad brought us home and we would put into the disk drive and listen to the background music of various songs like *rubber ducky* hey no one said they were the top ten of the time.. although i do remember *girls just want to have fun* on there.. we would run threw the house with the stereo blare'n (why of course we couldnt have regular speakers it had to go threw the theater system) singing .. well semi singing being as we didnt know every word to every song with the music as we dance'd ..
computers and games have come a long way over the years.. thats one thing that cant be denied..
