    Someone put together widescreen "screencaps" of Star Trek TOS, and it's interesting to see what it would have looked like on a modern screen.

    │ I love those widescreencaps. It'd be cool to see a widescreen or anamorphic
    │ remaster of /TOS/.

    Yeah, I've seen more people these days saying they've started to buy more physical media as they get frustrated about streaming services removing content.

    Here we moved all our media onto a 10 TB usb drive and plugged it into our lg tv. We gave up on streaming services 4 years ago. We now have over 209 movies and 150 tv shows, mostly older ones to watch when we want. They are all high definition and system works great. Our tv is not connected to the internet as well.

    Vinyl is popular all over again too, and I admit I have a small
    collection and look for very specific things, but who saw that coming?

    I guess the idea of what is old is new again holds true for a lot of stuff... that, and the notion of nostalgia and how it can seep into all of us as time goes by :)

    BBSing is certainly one of those things I love for it's ongoing endurance, the mix of nostalgic fun from my times using it in the 1990's and returning to the scene some 10+ years ago... golly time flies by.
