Somebody's stuck in the 80's!

Ack! I hate that song.

Toby--my fav Styx is from the 70's, too, but I still went to the Mr. Roboto tour...I wasn't old enough to go to The Grand Illusion, I don't think.

The Kilroy Was Here tour was the first concert I ever went to. I had been listening since the Equinox days, though (I was a precocious child and used to raid my uncle's albums )

And Paradise Theater was 80's, right?

Yep, 1981.

Have you seen the Behind the Music on how Styx broke up b/c Tommy Shaw couldn't stand DeYoung's idea for Roboto? Quite interesting...

OT:Amy Grant

You can't hold Amy Grant up as a paragon of goodness anymore: she's divorced.

THIS IS A JOKE PEOPLE! (I mean, she is divorced, but in my mind that has nothing to do with goodness.)

She's also in Paul McCartney's movie "Give My Regards to Broad Street."
She must be a "friend of P"


Boy, did BobbyMike peg it -- this thread DID degenerate into chaos.(and it's my fault, too! )

Wow, I go away on vacation and miss gems like this! While I'm not going to get into the "is porn good" discussion, I will point out that anyone could release a Porn module, or as I like to call it, a nudule , without Handspring's consent.

From Handspring's Developer's FAQ:

quote:

---

Q. Is the Springboard Standard an Open Standard?
A. Yes, the Springboard specification is very open. Handspring's Development Kit includes all of the mechanical, electrical, and software specifications needed to design Springboard modules. Anyone can download this material and use it to build Springboard modules.

There is no Springboard association, no user fees, and no royalties. Springboard modules contain no proprietary parts or processes so developers are free to manufacture and distribute Springboard modules as they see fit. Handspring is interested in working closely with developers of Springboard modules and supporting them in design and distribution related matters, if they choose.

---

So feel free to develop that nudule. Should be the most widely read review on VC ever.


BTW, I'm going to move this to Off-Topic where it belongs. Keep it civil!
