It amazes me that these kinds of things exist, you actually need a working AppleII and a will to pay $100+ to buy this product, yet it exists. Who is brave enough to design and make an order to manufacture this stuff?! Meanwhile you probably can emulate it all for free in few minutes.

I love this thread. I'm really funny. Lol. Some sound so terrifying that they can be real. The only thought in my head is what color to buy a car.

Fun fact! My dad in his youth tried to make his car chrome by stripping the paint off of it, then applying a rust inhibitor and finally clear-coating it several times. He didn't know that this was illegal, and had to pay a large fine. Also for those who might want to try this despite the legalities, no mater how hard you try, without some industrial processes to encapsulate the parts, hand-dressing a vehicle body cannot properly inhibit rust, and the end result looked like the hell world of Silent Hill with a shiny overcoat so it always looked wet. I wish there was some photos.

It's illegal there to have an "unpainted" car?

Bylaw has a set limit to the amount of chrome or reflective material. Sun reflection can be a danger to other drivers. At least that's what he told me.

Those tv series episodes are really expensive on iTunes. A 20min episode of 30 ROCK costs $3 meanwhile the whole library of Netflix is available for $10 for a whole month. Even if I want to pay for a streaming service to get it the legit way they geo-block it for people outside USA.

USA pays $10 for a full month access of a complete streaming library, outside USA pays $3 per 20min. Then they blame piracy.
