Don't forget the greatest two album group in the history of rock roll.

Namely the Travelling Wilburys.  Starring God who sat in under the name of Lefty Wilbury when he was not performing  under his I Walk the Earth as Roy Orbison.

Pong did not have much shelf life, thankfully.

It did not take long for things to heat up, though.

A bunch of consoles and Apples soon came out and we soon had get together on the week end to play.  Life was simple. I used to get really frustrated playing Zork.  Those damn word games drove me crazy.

Atari and Space Invaders!  Life was good !

Amazing how much fun we had with 8 bit graphics and arcade type games.

I'm OG and I like gauges.  I admit some of the recent programmable digital dashes are really neat.

Two comments.

You got the makings of a classical southern novel.

You should have moved when you caught hate in the wind.

No.  They are a copy of the gauges that were installed in the GNX.  I don't know if anyone is still selling these but they used to be a bit over $1k so they are probably more like 2k now...

I think they are really cool but I would probably go with a programmable digital version these days.

Either way I like this dash.

I'm not sure the early cars had that.

My understanding that it was added to reduce foaming in the fluid.
