You really don't know??? It's the record label of this new talented band. I think they are called "The Beetles" or something like that.

Why would anyone but a Dalek want to keep The Doctor away?

In another dimension...
Now I understand why the are calling them Portable Computers. You can take this thing anywhere!
Neat.
That's almost as good as my (1989, I believe) Victor V386PX, where the keyboard uses that new PS/2 connector and is attached with a cable so you can lift it out and close the lid if you connect to a larger, external, monitor.

Found one at a garage sale several years ago with a burned out floppy. Attempting to fix it only made things worse but at least it still looks cool sitting on the shelf.

well secluded, I see all!
Ah, memories.

TRS-80:

My parents owned a small pet store in the same shopping center as a Radio Shack. When the first one came out, I was over there almost every day after school, learning the basics of BASIC. I never bought it, but it did lead to me getting an Apple ][+ a few years later.

Side note: my middle school had brand new Commodore PET-2001s, and (of course) I joined the after-school computer club. The 8" monochrome screen was built into the console, as was the (pre-hard drive) tape recorder. I remember that Space Invaders took four minutes and fifty seconds to load; and if there was a glitch in the process, you had to rewind the tape and wait another five full minutes. Heh.

Rocky Horror:

Every Friday and Saturday. At midnight. For more than six years.

I became part of the local floor show, usually performing as Eddie and Dr. Scott. (Fun fact: Meatloaf played both roles in the Broadway show.) To this day I have the entire movie memorized. And the London cast recording on vinyl, as well as the Australian one on audio cassette. (Note that I no longer have any way to actually play either of them; sadly, time warps on.)

That, and my love of RenFaires, made me one of the original cosplayers, before even the Japanese, much less American Japanophiles. Great Scott!

*ducks, covers, and runs as rolls of Scott tissue are lobbed in my general direction*

Well judging by his previous post, he's either a Calculus teacher or a Transylvanian transvestite.
