Found this old user manual for my favorite web browser at the op shop! They just dont make documentation like they used to!

They don’t make docs like they used to. For what it’s worth, those “…for Dummies” books were never going to make anyone an expert on anything, but every one of them I’ve ever read was the most densely packed set of comprehensible information on the subject available at the time.

The Soviets in this movie are as cheesy as the terrorists in True Lies

“With one turn of that key…”

“What key?”

“That key! Who… who’s taken the key?!”

I think this was more realistic but my mind is placing it from about the same time as blue thunder and airwolf. Feels like there was a lot of super flying device things around that time.

Decent book, USSR is building a new supersonic jet with a new interface that can be controlled by thought. American pilot chosen for a mission to steal the jet, and has to think commands in Russian for the jet to act on them. “How do you say ‘fire’ in Russian?”

The movie's not bad either.

I’m a sucker for most Cold War stuff and did really enjoy Firefox

Huh, there’s a very similar book, “Day of the Cheetah” by Dale Brown. Same plot except the US and USSR roles are reversed.

This is how we all thought and hoped we would surf the information superhighway

The Chuck E. Cheese near me when I was a kid had the stand-up version. I was obsessed with that game.

I love the green theme on the menu, they deliberately changed their cable box settings for that. Throws me back.

Just remember to think in Russian.
