In my early computing days, when computers were big and programs were small, I used the TI Silent 700 Terminal, which used thermal paper instead of a CRT for its display. Yes, it was a pain.

"The good old days when America was “great” aren’t the 1950s. They’re whatever decade you were 11, your parents knew the correct answer to any question, and you’d never heard of war crimes tribunals, microplastics, or improvised explosive devices. Or when you were 15 and athletes and musicians still played hard and hadn’t sold out." Yes, our kids will think of the 2020s as the "good old days."

Cable déjà vu? Look who's bundling #streaming services (and what it's going to cost you) https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/cable-packaging-comes-to-streaming/ by @sjvn
