This is Jade in UMK3:-

Now I know what UMK stands for in two different ways. Before that last post, I didn't know what it stood for in any way.
It stands for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3......Did you even have a childhood ? ;)
There weren't very many video games around back then. I got to play Pong when I visited my Aunt's house. I also had a Vectrex system (line vector graphics, hence the name). The 486 came out after I had graduated from college, though the chip cost $6000 at the time, so I bought a 286 for grad school. Interestingly, I see on Wikipedia that the first version of Mortal Kombat came out in 1992, which is the year I got my Master's. So....I guess the answer is probably no.
I forgot that you're an old man. They still used vacuum tubes in your childhood ;) Don't think MK could run on a vacuum tube CPU :D
Actually, that's kind of true. When I was growing up, we had an old Heathkit radio that my father had put together. It did have vacuum tubes, which was kind of interesting, as they would be glowing. These days, we do that with LED's, but back then, the electronics themselves glowed.
When I was young our TV's and hi-fi's were all tubes. I can remember the "TV repair man" showing up with a suitcase full of tubes to fix things...
That was half-a-century ago...
Must have been pretty cool. In those days that would have been cutting edge.
My my you guys are ancient...I feel so....so....so young!Quote:

Well he is 12.....that's practically a grown man :)
They sure think so...
They both want iPhones - I've already got 4 devices on my Verizon account - when does the "bulk discount plan" take effect???????????
They want iPhones ? Didn't you ground them for a month for such disrespectful blasphemy ? How dare they not ask for a Windows Phone! Don't they know their daddy is writes code in VB.Net and not Objective-C! ;)
That's their objective, see?
Clever pun :lol:
