Google Made Me Smile
Folks, I got a call asking me “what happened to my Google?!” from someone who apparently thought hackers were at play… So I took a look, and darn near fell off my chair laughing.
Folks, I won’t tell you what my high score is.. but cruise on over to www.google.com and click on “Insert Coin”. (Hint: some of the old strategy will work..)
Hard to believe, it’s been 30 years… but it is Pac Man’s 30th anniversary. I don’t know about you, but I played a few games of Pac Man in my life. (See, Its Pac–Man 30th anniversary and its still going strong)
Genius.

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

I don’t know why that link didn’t work from within the email, but it works just fine here. Heck, it even worked from the email notifying me of your comment!

Ranjan,
Your comment gave me an excuse to post a link to an online, playable (free) version of a classic video game.. I’m sorry if it wasn’t quite the response you were looking for.. but maybe future readers will appreciate the information.

Google impressed PacMan fans with their logo today. It was great, playing it brings me to few years back though PacMan is older than me. :P

Avatar,
I am older, and I watched all this tech come into being. When I was growing up, everything was analog, there were no ATM machines, and a pocket-sized cordless telephone was wild, Science Fiction fantasy. I was an adult when I got my first computer.
But I try to keep up.

Paul,
Funny how these popular little games can now be embedded into a browser. At one point in time, took a pretty good computer to run these (LOL).
