I try and get around this by purchasing a DVD / Blu-Ray and ripping it down to my media server, but not always successful ripping them. It would be nice if you bought a digital movie, you could click download instead. Then you wouldn't lose it when their licensing agreements change / end.

Exactly, and more and more places are removing cash as a payment option :(

I saw this too, awesome to report on a typo when you yourself have a typo. What are the odds?

I was hoping this was a mini 5G cell tower that connected to the network, so you could have good 5G service inside.

I was going to suggest the same book. I first ran into story on PBS as a teenager, it was titled "The KGB, the Computer and Me".

Yeah, I have also changed DNS from 1.1.1.1 to 8.8.8.8 with no difference. I did receive a call from my ISP last night and they confirmed others are having the same issue. So at least someone is on the case. My goal is to get a write up if they find a fix so I can share with others. I know that other people / ISPs are having the issue too based on my research.

I suggest you watch this video as well, is goes into great detail on what it took to make the blue LED. It's quite fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8d72mA41M

My Dad's landline makes you press a digit before completing the call. So that exists already, and wish more would add this as a feature. I'm sure like anything, it could be defeated, if they had a system listening for the key to press. But it works for now.

I recall back in 1990 when PBS aired, “The KGB, the Computer, and Me”. I was a freshman in high school and immediately fell in love with the documentary. I recorded it on VHS and watched it numerous times. I was already into computers, we had an IBM PC jr and I was fascinated by it. This story made me want to learn more and dive into technology even more.
I recently, within last few years finally picked up the book and read it. It is just a great story. I feel like everything Cliff said, in certain aspects, we still deal with today. I highly recommend the book and watching the documentary.

The times were so different back then. I recall back in 90, I saw someone post on another BBS they were testing out a new BBS. The phone exchange was the same as mine, so I called him up. Turns out he was in my class at high school, and we've remained best friend since.
I can't even recall how many how I spent making ANSI art for many local BBSs. The opening screens, menus for difference access levels, etc. This was a great way to get sysop access and increased download limits. Many BBSs I recall had upload / download ratios and didn't like leachers.
Thanks for the post and memories.

I had one of these back in the day and I loved it. I sold it just a few years ago. Still one of my favorites. My one complaint, the white power cord and power brick. Come one apple, you're supposed be a leader in design. I realize cost justification was probably the reason for this.
