At least, it looks like it's from the 90s. This is actually a real TECHNICAL SCHOOL in San Diego (and to my knowledge, it's still in existence).

RML was high in "wow" factor back in the day when we were first discovering high speed internet in the dorms. This one’s a little obscure, maybe less-so for the UIUC folks:

I was never a "gamer" before or after, but for that year or two when Doom II was huge, I was a temporary gamer. As far as I’m concerned, iFrag was the pinnacle of PC gaming.

Let's see if I can find any of the ones I remember anymore. ;-) Well, I see that <a href="http://www.pmichaud.com/grape/" rel="nofollow">Fun with Grapes</a> (and of course a microwave) is still there. And of course, the <a href="http://www.the4cs.com/~corin/cse477/toaster/" rel="nofollow">how to make a talking toaster</a> page. (I almost made one of those. I'm not sure I should be admitting that though...) Oh, and we can't forget <a href="http://www.dansdata.com/personal/Bombs.html" rel="nofollow">sparkler bombs</a>. Those are always a good treat around the fourth of July. Unless, of course, you get any easy-light sparklers in the bundle -- then it goes off rather sooner than expected. There were singed eyebrows all around that year. (Note to self: re-inspecting the sparklers is always a good idea. Just because you think the sparkler supplier did, doesn't mean they actually did.)

I stopped playing games because they became too complex. The Playstation especially had way too many buttons and combos that I needed to learn for each game. After playing a friend's Nintendo Wii, I'm glad Nintendo got a clue and simplified gaming while still keeping them fun. We played Wii Sports for days without being bored. I can't wait for a DDR type game that incorporates arm motion into the steps. :] ah yes ifrag. I stopped playing games because they became too complex.
