- ido 6y agoWhat a small world (internet?) Do you have any interesting anecdotes about your uncle?
- 1610739545 6y agoHe died when I was 10 or 11 and lived across the country so I didn't have as much time with him as I would have liked. The times when he came home to see the family were always pleasant. He and my father were an entertaining pair. We visited him once or twice in California after he was diagnosed with cancer. He definitely passed his interest in computers and astronomy on to me along with his taste for electronic and industrial music. The first computer I had to myself was passed down from him. I still have a framed panorama of the milky way galaxy he gave me.
- djmips 6y agoI have to say, several of those quotes were very moving which I didn't expect in an article about a 'game'. I feel like I need to check out this Space Simulator now.
- ido 6y agoThe blog this article appears on is unusual (in the best ways) as well as extremely long and extensive (see https://www.filfre.net/sitemap/ https://www.filfre.net/sitemap/). If you're interested in a history of computer games I'd suggest checking it out - it will take a long time to read it all but even just jumping to the articles that sound most interesting will easily fill up your free time for the next year.
