Andy: When you said that you and some classmates were going to spend the afternoon playing "capture the flag"
Jason: There's another way to do this?
Computer: Ok, Marcus has a cable modem, so he'll host. Check in, everyone...
Kea - YEA! SOMEONE ELSE WHO RECOGNIZES THAT OLD HARDWARE! I thought that I was the last living person to have worked with those. How about an old Mac Classic? Remember the gold colored screens?
Capture the flag is MUCH more fun in the virtual world where you have unlimited endurance and are much more physically fit. I wish I had the body of my old Quake II character. A sedentary 60-hour per week job and a bout with cancer in my leg made me much less active than I used to be when I played football in High School with John Elway…
treBs, I had friends in college who bought original issue Macs - but since I’d previously won a Texas Instruments personal computer in a drawing, I didn’t even investigate.
And now my 12yo has designed a “Capture the Flag” level (ala Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief) for the online game Atmosphir… The times, they are a’changin!

Jason, Marcus and their conrads really need to be outside more doing exercise… like Capture the Flag (not on a lap top that is).

Gotta love that World of Warcraft (or whatever Jason calls it given the copyright)…

I didn’t know that Jason and Marcus even HAD any other friends (except the secret society with Eileen and her friend from summer camp)
