my first one was a tape cassette player that rigged up to the tv.. my second which i thought was (frank)in incredible was a commodore 128

thought i was a high roller.. everyone else had commodore 64s

#Leafs star Phil Kessel says he has yet to discuss contract extension with the team. Doesn't anticipate it happening soon either.

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 19m
Phil Kessel says the #leafs haven't talked about a contract extension with his camp. He doesn't want to negotiate during the season.

If the Leafs miss the playoffs and Kessel bolts and we're stuck with Bozak then I expect Nonis' head on a pike on Bay Street

"He doesn't want to negotiate during the season" is kind of worrisome. Wonder if he's waiting to see how things play out this year

I remember when south park began getting big and you could download the .wav files to listen to 4 second clips and it took well over 30 minutes to download each one

This Apple-1 computer fetched nearly $388,000 at Christie's today. considerably less than the high estimate (Image source: Christie's)

Christie’s has just sold one of the original Apple AAPL -0.54% computers, put together in the garage of Steve Jobs‘ parents, for $387,000 during an online auction of vintage tech products. The Apple-1, one of the first 25 Apple-1 computers, was designed and hand built by Steve Wozniak in 1976. It’s thought there are less than 50 Apple-1 computers still in existence.

Wish I had an original Macintosh still in box. Be worth some cash.

damn this bunch of people are old ah have a lot of wisdom

1: its the Sun.. so throw that out

2: just because he doesnt want to negotiate during the season doesnt mean anything. he has a full 82 game schedule.. with playoffs hopefully.. plus the olympics.. he's gonna be busy.. not surprising he doesnt want to add to that.

and the PPP are bigger drama queens than a 13 year old girl who hasn't been asked to the dance yet

More than enough to kill anything that moves.

Oh thats the thing, i dont want him to take his mind off playing the best hockey he can, i just wish they could get him signed before the start of camp in 3 weeks.

and yes, they usually put everything with a negative spin, but still some valid points

David Johnson ‏@hockeyanalysis 11m
I suspect Kessel actually doesn't care, but if Kessel thinks it is his right to have contract extended 10 months in advance of contract...

@hockeyanalysis It's not his "right" but what's inarguable is it's STUPID business by the Leafs to not have pursued locking him down.

This is exactly right

i dont believe a dman thing out of the mainstream media anymore.. seriously.. when was the last time they were right about anything major?
