    Ooo... That's actually a really neat idea. I didn't think of that (but the don't have kids and never look at those gumball machines in the stores).


    ... Polls show that 9 out of 6 schizophrenics agree.
    I remember as a child there was some pink or purple sweet tart type powdered candy that came in a platic test tube with a cap. My mother and sister had lipstick covers that also could've made a cool looking tube like device.

    Last year I saw a modernized version of a nixie tube. Instead of heater elements in the shape of numbers stacked in a tube, there were several layers
    of plexiglas with different numbers etched in them and stacked. Each layer had it's own tiny led, an only that specific slide would show.

    Ya, I remember those too. I also remember candy lip stick. Never tried it, though. Must have had cooties on it. 8)

    I picked up a kit for one of those from Banggood not too long ago. Looks and works really nice. They are called Lixie Tubes. There was a guy on Tindie that was selling individual ones for projects.

    VLC is what I use most of the time. I also use VLC with bluetooth to play music from my phone in the car.

    I played with one called Clementine. It's cross-platform
    Linux/Windows (don't remember if it had a Mac client) and
    consolidated Shoutcast and lots of other streaming services,
    podcasts, and MP3/ogg playback. I liked it.

    That BBS probably also has its own Shoutcast media server or something streaming internet radio.

    I should've been more clear. It's a streaming station hosted by the sysop of bottomless abyss,
