Wow, I didn't think that this thread would attract this kind of response.

Anyway, I think that Whitelight deserves a special Avatar. (Most senior member, Father of HLP etc. No offence intended, of course, just an honorific.) How about it, staff?

I remember my first computer. It was an old Sinclair ZX81 that my dad built for me from a kit. Prior to that, all I had was TV tennis. (Blocky white graphics and a white dot bouncing around the screen was about the sum of it!)

Was that tennis thing on a black and orange box? A Binatone?
I had one of those!

Yes! Yes! I agree!  The Eldest should definitely get a special avatar, special privileges, great respect, presents on his birthday, all the beer he can drink!


ummm, BTW, I'm 58.
If a man walks in the desert and speaks where no woman can hear, is he still wrong?

Hmmm tempting the word special did catch my eye, but I really would rather be as one of you, I don`t really want any special treatment from you peps, though my wife has called me special from time to time... :lol: But that is how it should be I guess :nod:

I`m a kid at heart that will never grew up, and that is comming from the wife :lol:

‘Methuselah’ is it? Well, that’s cool. :D  And it’s a lot better than “Old Goat” or "Dirty Old Man".  But just so you know, I’m nowhere near as old as Methuselah – I know that for a fact ‘cause I was in high school with his kid sister.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
