Back in the day I thought Netbeans rocked! Instead of the Lego-like assembly of plugins in Eclipse you got something that worked right out of the box (we're talking a 10-15 years ago and focused on Java/JEE/JSF).

I had an Onkyo 5.1 system in service from 2002 - 2018. Great stuff! First movie I watched on the system with a 28" CRT TV was "Driven" on DVD. Going from TV-speakers to a full set of speakers including subwoofer was amazing!

Of the Tolkien books I've read, the LOTR-trilogy is a classic page turner. Once you get past Bilbo's birthday you can't really put the books down. The Hobbit has more of a children's tale-vibe, but still worth the read.

Sad to hear this. I got a ZX in the mid-eighties. It was the 16k-model but my father upgraded it to 48k, I think it even involved some soldering. One of my best friends also had one and we tinkered a lot, all by ourselves. To get stuff to l
