You want a screen shot of an obsolete system that I had more than twenty
years ago?
I don't have my computer from *five* years ago, let alone the C64!

Was that one of the Targa boards? I remember reading about them, and
thinking how cool it would be to use one!

Do you have your newsreader post these little reminders automatically,
or you do actually go to the effort of manually proselytizing DOSBox? :)

Yes! Of course I remember the brand of a video card my employer installed
in a work computer 15 years ago! NOT!

If the subject is about running old DOS programs, do you have any better

No, it's just that I've gotten to the point where I can predict when
you're going to post a link to it. Rather like knowing that if someone
posts a comment about inefficient programming, Andy will comment on
Haskell ;)

Now if the Python quote went unrecognised, I wonder how many people won't get
that one... :)
"Neddy, do you know they're sending up a rocket to photograph the other side of
you?"

Indeed, one of the reasons I posted the quote I did. It's interesting to
me how many people who are fans of the Pythons are unaware of what their
influences were.

Like me... I'm unaware!
Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that I first became
interested in Monty Python's stuff some 10 years after their last movie.

Certainly it happens. :-) Some of Cleese's earlier work is in "I'm
Sorry, I'll Read That Again" (a radio series), and as an influence they
list The Goon Show (Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers (yes, *that* Peter
Sellers), Harry Seacombe, and a few others).

It's probably a little wider-known over here, but not much. Very few of my
friends have heard of the Goons, although ISIRTA and Round the Horne are better
bets.

"I've... got it written on this piece of paper..."
I'll probably run out of Goons quotes very rapidly, since I've only heard about
half a dozen episodes... I'm not nearly old enough to be a first-generation
Python quoter, let alone the Goons - even my parents aren't quite old enough
for that!

Since it was almost 50 years ago that the goon show ended, not many I imagine.

Fair point. :-) We're on series 5 at the moment, such a shame the
earlier series were mostly lost.

Yeah - now I haven't heard Round the Horne, will have to look for it. :-)

There are a few pretty decent collections available online, reportedly in
the public domain now. The recordings of Series 5 onward seem to be
pretty decent quality, but the few remaining episodes from series 4 are
not hard to listen to, just the volume level's a bit low.
And of course there are scripts online, mostly transcripts from people
listening to the shows.

I'm sure that I've got quite a few somewhere, not to hand unfortunately. :(

Last resort, I think, the sound of the cast struggling to get their lines out

We listened to a fair number of ISIHAC episodes after Humph died.
Probably the better part of 20 years' worth. Hamish & Dougal - yeah,
listened through those as well. Those guys are a trip. :-)
Navy Larks - another I haven't heard of, going to have to start making a
list. :-)

There's an FTP server in Japan (I forget the URL) that hosts many of the
episodes, but they ask that you not scrape everything in one go.

Wait a minute Eccles, my good man... It's writted on this bit of
paper, what is eight o'clock, is writted. Supposing when somebody asks
you the time, it isn't eight o'clock?

There was something came up in one of the episodes we listened to over
the last couple evenings that I had wanted to use, and now I've forgotted
what it is!
"You rotten swine you! You have - no, wait a minute. Feels both knee-
caps, sees feet in usual position. I'm not deaded this week! Tee-hee-hee!
Thinks: I'm a happy-go-lucky lad."

Contrary to public opinion, I don't actually like the Goons. I'm the wrong age
