Ant,

It would require a fairly intensive refactor to get it to work. The hardest part would be figuring out how to shoehorn GOTO into a modern BASIC interpreter since that command was taken out back and shot in the head -- and for good reason -- but with the memory and processor restrictions of computers at the time, GOTO was necessary because GOSUB required 4 bytes of stored information and a bit more processing power. There's also a number of functions that are exclusive to TRS-DOS BASIC and the Model III in particular.

At one point, I thought about moving the code from BASIC to Z-80 Assembler, but by then the first PC Jr. clones were out (I had a TRS Model 1000 and it was GREAT!) and it no longer made sense to continue doing anything on the Model III.

The worst loss is the database data, which was all the room and pathing descriptions, as well as part of the warm storage for the games. That's the part that breaks my heart to have lost.

That said, the sound over an acoustic coupler of an analog modem making a 300 bps connection is still makes me smile.

There’s a difference between “racist” and “biased”. IMO, that’s what Bill is saying.

(To be clear, the difference I’m standing on here is racist implies it intentionally targets one race, biased in this context means while it may inadvertently impact one group, that is not the intent.)

Standardized testing is biased towards those with better educational opportunities….not any particular race. It just so happens one “race” is far more likely to have fewer educational opportunities on average….but that’s not the test’s fault or design, nor the student’s, and is not MEANT to target anyone by race. It just measures what you know….what you’ve been taught.

When it comes to SATs, they don’t take into account the educational opportunities people may not have had, and so aren’t a great measure of a student’s ability to learn, but are a measure of what they’ve learned. As such, they are a good metric for colleges to use in admissions, but are also sorely lacking when it comes to identifying ability. That means they should not be the ONLY measure used in admissions, but are still a useful tool for colleges.

I’m all for color blind admissions, if they measure ability as well as wrote knowledge, finding a way to measure how well they made use of the opportunities to learn they were presented….no matter what their skin color or economic status. So far, I don’t believe any such measure exists.

Really, I’m all for free jr college for anyone. It’s cheap, $150 a semester the last time I went, probably double that now, still a bargain. Most people drop out before year 3, so that’s a great way to allow everyone the opportunity for higher education without the expense…and frees up 4 year colleges to eliminate year 1&2 and teach more people who might graduate.

Aaaahaha. Have you seen Eric's interview yesterday trying to defend Weisselberg? He's so dumb he actually publicly admitted the company paid him under the table and gave him millions in unreported perks and salary to avoid taxes....$3.5 million in unreported salary with cars, opulent houses, tuition for his family members totalling $359,058, etc. Eric doesn't think >$3.5 million hidden from the IRS is even an infraction....that's more than the average worker makes in their lifetime....Imagine if you fraudulently reported never making a dime your entire career, imagine if a Democrat did that....what should happen to such a criminal? What should happen to the business owner who organised the secret payments?

It makes one wonder how much Eric doesn't report if $3.5 million hidden from the IRS is nothing to him. He, Don jr, and Ivanka were all top level executives during Weisselberg's time there, and all received the same off the books compensation or more, and also had oversight over all these illicit secret payments just like Daddy....prosecutors have the secret record books, Weisselberg left them for his estranged daughter to find and turn over...that's where these charges come from, their own off the books records their crooked accountant kept at home. Expect them to be next, and do you really think they won't flip on Daddy to avoid prison? LMFAHS!

Hilariously he, in efforts to minimise these massive massive financial crimes, admitted his father personally paid Weisselberg's family's tuition as a company perk with personal checks signed by Don himself, indicating there's physical evidence of daddy's personal involvement in a long term tax fraud scheme that's not just felony tax fraud but grand larceny.

And we haven't even gotten to the bank frauds Trump's already publicly admitted to, overvaluing properties on loan forms, then undervaluing them on tax forms. He calls it good business and claims everyone does it, not tax and banking fraud that are serious felonies most people wouldn't even consider. It's sure going to be a fun couple of years watching the whole group go bankrupt and to prison.

Imagine if Clinton had done this...how many congressional investigations would we have had by now? Instead, Republicans don't even want to know what happened Jan 6, probably because any investigations will show their involvement in the failed coup, that's definitely how it looks. They certainly don't want to know about Trump's tax and bank frauds because a felon can't be president and they've got no one else.

Try again, troll. It's on Trump Jr's rumble page, and now the entire unedited video is posted instead of the cut version. All real.

Anyways, we all know Biden doesn't practice nepotism like Trump, so whatever problems his son may or may not have are moot, unlike the Trump's that were all deeply involved in Daddy's administration and who all took tens of millions in foreign bribes to sell out America in the deals they set up and Daddy agreed to.

Also, let's not forget the main player left supporting the election fraud fraud actually is a long term, heavy, and admitted crack head. That crack head as Trump's right hand man and advisor doesn't seem to bother you, just like Don Jr's long time public coke and crack habits don't.

So...there are other less cut versions of this on YouTube, but they all seem to come with 5 minutes of inane commentary.
I do not know if this if ultimately a deep fake, but I do know there are better, cleaner versions out there. If anyone can find one without the commentary, please post it here and I'll happily replace it.

Here's one with the commentary, Don Jr starts at :30

I, for one, think it's real.

Your video, Trump Jr High As A Kite Rambling Nonsense, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

If anyone can find the entire uncut Don jr video without 5 minutes of commentary, please feel free to replace the embed.

"You shall not pass" - Martin Luther King Jr.

Allow me to quote the defense attorney for the Qshaman-
"A lot of these defendants - and I'm going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully - but they're all fucking short bus people...these are people with brain damage...they're fucking retarded, they're on the goddamn spectrum."

These are Trump's warrior's lawyers, making the claim that if you believed Trump like their clients (and like you, Bobby), you had to be "fucking retarded". That's you they're talking about. Rebuttal? How long was the bus you took to school?

Thanks so much for allowing us to use that term to describe Trumptards as a quote, because I had refrained from using it so far because it insults the mentally defective, not because it's not pc to use that word, but because it degrades them by saying they are as dumb and dysfunctional as a Trumpster.

Enjoy the rest of America's lifespan at this point. The Republican party is going down the drain bit by bit. At this rate, youall won't win a single election in 22, the party is fractured beyond repair between the remaining few adults without brain damage (too few to govern) and the Trump party (too few for a majority and getting more unpopular every day, already too unpopular to win elections). I only know one person in real life that would still vote for anyone that supports or supported Trump, and she has severe brain damage. Every other Republican I know has left the party, including my entire family. My mother campaigned for Bush Sr. repeatedly, she voted for Jr twice...last election she voted for Biden.

Be sure to look up Russell Ramsland Jr who came up with the Republican plan to contest the 2020 election way back in 2018.

Also be sure to look into every "question" you asked, every one will be answered, you just don't like the facts because they don't jibe with your lies.
