Is that Bert and Ernie on the TV in its chest?

That’s amazing!

Wow, 9th print of only 16? 🙃

I feel like in retrospect I was really unprepared for how dumb fascism was going to be

to hell with "A.I." - bring back direct brain inputs via skull-implanted cassette player

Come on, Greg. We all know 8 track provides more warm sound (and works better with my brain loops, personally).

It's a bargain at only 25 cents!

Put then we’d all need to stick pencils in our eyes.

I cannot think of a more advanced electronic brain. It always boggled my mind that I could use cassettes to play video games on my C-64.

I remember reading a Philip K. Dick story where a fully sentient humanoid automaton discovered that his brain ran on a punch tape reminiscent of a player piano.

If I can't load ZX Spectrum software with my cybernetic implants, I ain't buying.

Guess it's a good thing Betamax didn't take off after all

But hey at least you can pick up the PBS broadcast on that rig.

Had one of these in the local arcade. Took a shit-ton of quarters and there was always a line.

Fantastic work at 14! Let me go back to reading your Wiki page. Fabulous stuff.

BTW, I love that you wrote Betamax (instead of VHS). Back in 1982, Sony and Betamax were still kicking. Believe it or not, I still have Alien in Betamax 😆

How bad can it be with Burt and Ernie in its heart? 🤔
