Who Remembers The Caribbean Zone, SF?

Where you could pull up a Martin 404 and stay awhile. Picked up a couple of these on eBay when a similar relic from my cupboard staged an unscheduled crash landing.

The advent of Myst for the iPhone/iPod Touch has me remembering the first computer I bought for myself, an IBM PS/2 — check out John C. Dvorak circa 1987 being young, cranky, and perhaps about to burst forth with Rocky Mountain High? starting at 10:56 of that video — with AOL, CompuServe, and a mile-high stack of CD-ROMS like King's Quest (V, I think?) and Encarta (RIP).

Also loved Stewart Cheifet's Computer Chronicles. (Hi Stewart on Twitter, just followed you.) Episode 932 is a great snapshot of early '90's computer games, and oh, the exuberance for the old skool graphics!
