GOG will let you download the offline installer for every game they sell, IIRC.
Counterpoint: China from Deng and onwards is an autocracy with rapidly improving material conditions
They were right. I never sold a taped VCR, but my parents used it to time shift Saturday morning cartoons every week.
Found this book in a little free library a few months ago and read it cover-to-cover in one night. It's crazy what Data General was able to accomplish with its little side project. Fun fact: Data General was purchased…
