Are You Keeping Up

I forgot all about this ad.  My partner reminded me of it this morning at 6 am :)  What I want to know is, what's going down a waterslide got to do with anything?  Apparently people who are keeping up with the Commodore like watersliding.  Of all females who are watersliding at any given moment, going by advertisements an enormous proportion of them will also have their periods at the same time.   This will be demonstrated to you later via safe blue chalk and a glass and a piece of chalk and Mrs Marsh.

I will, for the term of my future menstrual history, forever buy the feminine hygiene products from the company that dares to show its product demonstrated with something red and a bit clotty.

But I digress.

Sixty-four kilobytes of memory the Commodore 64 had.  Woohoo!!!  Not really too hard to keep up with, I guess.  I remember playing "Worms" on the computer in my Grade 6 class at lunchtime.  Sort of like Pong ; lots of black screen with green graphics that consisted of ... well, lines, really, that grew like worms.  Your goal if you chose to accept it was to keep moving that growing worm all round the screen without running into any other part of yourself.  High-tech stuff, indeed.  Or at least it felt like it at the time :)
