> [@Markxxx](#): > > Yes it does this quickly. Just open your photo, then put your mouse on the upper left part of the area you want to keep. Left click and go down and then to your right and you’ll get a square of the area you want to keep. Then you can hit the Scissors icon on the menu bar, or go to Edit -\> Crop or hit SHIFT+X (not Ctrl X but SHIFT plus X) It’s a fully floating box like Photo Editor was. Sweet. I just clicked on the filters… very nice. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Yep, Nintendo 64. I never DID manage to beat the final monster in _Breath of Fire II_. That’s not an N64 game, it’s a Super Nintendo game. I miss console games that come complete when you go to the store and buy them. None of this crap. [ul]Patches for stuff that should’ve been fixed before going gold. What is this? A PC game? Sheesh![/ul] [ul]DLC addons that should’ve been in the game to begin with. Pay more than the $60 I just dropped at the store? For friggin extra costumes? Really? REALLY? Screw that![/ul] [ul]Limited Editions with exclusive in-game content. You get THE WEAPON OF BRAGGING RIGHTS only if you preorder/buy it at a certain store/sacrifice 2 oxen and a goat on the 2nd Tuesday of the month of the game’s release/pay $10 extra! Ha! All you other losers just get THE PLAIN OLD WEAPON instead. It’s your fault for either being too dumb to know there were two versions until you already opened the now no longer returnable because you opened it Normal Edition (sucker!) or thinking the extra $10 only got you another version of the box art and some extra doodads in the box (like about half of the other Limited Edition games do). [/ul] Can’t we just go back to “here’s the game, that’s it, you’ve got it all, at least until the sequel”? ---

> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > They also should have pushed them in the US. They didn’t start advertising them until something like a year before the iPod was released–which was already a full decade after the creation of the minidisc. I agree, I had an original minidisc player RECORDER, metal case not the flimsey light plastic one, and it recorded. Smaller than a discman. I got it at the base exchange here in Groton CT. Maybe the thing was only available on military bases back then because I never saw one off base for years afterwards. Cost me about $700. Still in perfect condition too =) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-orphaned-technology-do-you-miss/495598.md?page=3)
