A fun fact is that I tried the Panny on my Commodore CRT (as it has no unified output for VHS and DVD, VHS is composite only), but on the Progressive Scan VHS JVC machine, I used a 1080p Samsung LED monitor with Component Input for the best quality of the VHS and DVD outputs.

While I was out last month, I found Plumo at the Farm for Windows 3.1 and 68k Macintosh on CD-ROM from 1999! Among the other titles I recently got is the 4-disc edition of the World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia 2000 for Windows 95. This was a major upgrade to the 1-disc edition that I got previously during my childhood!

I recently got a hold of a copy of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray combo set from Amazon, and it appears to be one of Steven Spielberg’s foray into family adventure films from a far away planet to our own home: Earth!

I've finally added a PlayStation 4 Pro to my computer and video game collection! Started playing The Sims 4 (Free!) on that new system. It's a worthwhile addition to my PlayStation collection in light of the limited stock of the PS5!

Watched a Weston Woods/Scholastic DVD of Eric Carle's A House for Hermit Crab (my childhood) (1987, book, 2015, DVD) on my 4k Home Theatre using my HiSense 4k Roku TV, and my Sony UBP-X800M2.
