No subscription. Just program.

On your computer. You got to use it forever and ever and never had to worry about it going away.

Because it was physically on your computer. As a program. That you actually owned. Not because you got it separately, but because it was a standard inclusion with your computer.

I'm sorry but I'll just never get over it. I remember when companies cared about their products being usable out of the box. I remember when our things belonged to us.

For those asking about the fire-damaged Circus Playhouse band, here's a great up-close-and-personal check in video by funtownfollies, who has also offered to send us some photos of the gang too!

On one hand, it's sad that these guys have little chance of restoration. On the other hand, though, I'm beyond grateful that they're in safe hands and can still be appreciated (in public, too!). I'm super glad Starvin' Marvin is there as well (albeit out of reach); he's my favorite!

It's still phenomenal that these guys survived, both the fire and time itself passing from owner to owner. They're incredible pieces of animatronic history!

Looks like the entry gates in the first image had amber(?) circles embedded in it, per image 5 there’s a scorpion in one of them (different store example)
