You know back in the age of the dinosaur(1979) when I first started working on computers I was quite disappointed when I saw that none of them actually featured those blinking light panels.

Me too. When I moved up to senior elementary (junior high) around that time, we were all impressed that the school had a computer (one single computer). Expecting something with flashing lights and spinning tape reels, as seen on TV, I was kind of disappointed at seeing the TRS-80 Model 1. It looked like a TV with a typewriter attached to it, not a computer.

Now, through the magic of case modding, I intend to build a computer that looks like my ideal in miniature. Mind you, there are two or three other projects I have to complete first. The homebuilt CNC machine for one.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
