      Family Ties is one of my favorite shows of all time. I like watching the episodes on Hulu now and then.

    Meh another HDD bites the dust! New SSD on the way though! The new 128GB SSD will replace my current 60GB SSD in my Desktop and the 60GB SSD will replace the 40GB SSD in my old laptop and lastly the 40GB will be re-purposed in a nice small external enclosure which will be just enough to use for 40 GB of fast external storage! Looking forward to the insane speed I will see imaging my OS SSD direct to another SSD!

      It's funny, I'm replacing spinning disks with SSDs on my newest hardware. And I'm replacing them with CF cards on my oldest hardware.

      TRUE but at least anyone can give a quick response by linking the guy who just joined to get the info along with a snarky DID YOU EVEN SEARCH ?comment lol.....

    Just came back from the new STAR TREK movie, I wont waste effort on those who have already made up their minds or refuse to accept the alternate timeline except to say my wife and I are huge Star Trek fans and we both LOVED IT. Plenty of fan service (some people hate that to) great action and visuals.

      Spoiler alert: At the end of this series of movies, you'll find out that it was all a dream that captain Pike was having from his beeping wheelchair.

      We went to the movies last night. I wanted to see Star Trek, but I went with morons who wanted to see Fast and Furious 6. Even though every second was filled with intense noise and sound effects, I fell asleep once or twice.

    Ok I never thought I would be that type of guy BUT I been browsing sites and forums all day on my cheap low end 7" ANDROID tablet and I love it!

      Nice to be able to do some quick surfing or research from your easy chair! Definitely finding I'm using a computer for less and less thanks to these new toys.

      Same boat here. My wife a bit ago got me one of the early 7" e-readers that could be fully androided. Youtube and DolphinHD work great, so it gets a lot of use.

      My kids love Babymetal. It's still 100 times better than One Direction or Justin Beiber that the other kids listen to!

      I saw Kingdom of the Spiders at the theater in the 70's. Great ending!

    Dammit I am a very organized person and yet I keep losing SD cards! Last time was a 16GB AND NOW I am pretty sure I have lost a 32GB mini SDcard! Usually it is in the adapter to make it fullsize SD) or one of my devices but I checked everywhere and cannot find it and of course it is my largest capacity mini SD card! FUCK! This is the problem with these tiny little cards smaller than a fingernail!

    1. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      @GroovyBee I had considered it! We have central Vac and I was NOT looking forward to that UPDATE: FOUND IT! After tearing apart the place staying up late I eventually became over tired, went to sleep, got up a few minutes ago and showered with the intent to continue search. HAPPILY I just found it a few minutes ago, it was literally sitting on the gap between the desk chair cushion and the base of the arm. What a relief!

    2. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      @CyranoJ Yeah I was hit with that scam buying off Ebay but I did get refunded and am wary of cheap cards on Ebay and have learned to spot the fakes, as well as I stick to brand names and legit distributors and just pay that little bit extra. I have a program that checks and confirms true capacity now also.

      SD Cards are small enough, but Mini and Micro SD cards are the work of the devil.

      Loved J.W. -- my sister and I used to watch his t.v. show every Saturday when I was a kid. It was sandwiched between the Carol Burnett show and a local program in which old horror movies were hosted by the Ghoul (a descendant of the original Ghoulardi).

      NOW I can improve upon this and get even MOAR!!

  23. OldSchoolRetroGamer

    LOL Yes it is true, just because this is "ATARIAGE" does not mean you can pawn off just ANY vaguely "Atari" related merch, idea, concept, Kickstarter etc, and assume we are going to swallow it up. For we are also mostly experienced, intelligent, educated and well versed in Atari history and knowledge, so sorry if we don't react as you expected or buy into just any crap without a thought.

    1. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      @lushgirl LOL You are kidding right? (With Random it's a given lol) I don't see it, just stating opinion and happy we are not suckers here! It's all positive actually. The only Butthurt was from the person who left after not being able to pawn off crap to this community!
