The revolutionary Aquarius home computer from Mattel! So incredible that they had it on the market an entire five months before going on to less important stuff. This is a boxed unit.. As you can see from the pictures somebody put a piece of tape on it which is very sad. The LOGO language box is still in the original shrink rap. Read all about this 4K Z-80 machine with 80x72 graphics and ask yourself how can you not want one?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattel_Aquarius The fist X-10 controlled device was done from this machine: http://oldcomputers.net/aquarius.html You can own this fine piece of equipment along with the LOGO box for only $31.00 and I will pay for shipping in the continental US.

I tried this out today.. the unit works but for sure is going to need a new belt.

For the sake of the debate I have obfuscated the passwords (sad, it reset the download counter to zero)... Though 8 out of 10 of them would not even be allowed on today's systems (less than 8 character, no numbers, all the same case, using the same name/password, common words, etc). Part of what made the list interesting was the lousy passwords people used back then.. I also checked to make sure nobody put potentially embarrassing information (swear words, "mybosssucks", etc). None of that.. As for the rest of the information.. You could hit 'U' from the main menu on the BBS (or some other key for the user list) and get this exact list except for the password information so even back then it was freely available.

No, but we should now see a headline such as "AXE BBS reveals that 80+ users have had their account passwords revealed. Encouraged to watch their credit reports..." LOL!! Perhaps not the best move. Tell you what, go ahead and remove the file (so that the passwords and all are not revealed) Then fold the user list where the names end so only the names are OCR'd. Then post THAT file. It would be cool to see the names, but maybe not the user information. Sound good? I think it was meant as a joke.. A user list from a private BBS from 1989 should not pose a problem.. The only information besides the name is the age and 10% put 0

No, but we should now see a headline such as "AXE BBS reveals that 80+ users have had their account passwords revealed. Encouraged to watch their credit reports..." Brilliant! Topic updated

I have no Idea what/where the Axe**BBS was but when I was cleaning out one of my boxes today I came across a printout of the userlog. I am tossing it out but I thought I would share the list... in case any of you were on the board and forgot your password or something unfortunately the OCR was not very successful so you get this instead AXEBBS UserList.pdf Anyone see themselves??

SOLD.... Thanks everyone

Sorry I should have given a more complete description... I have never taken it out of the box (until just now to take a picture). The serial numbers on box boxes and the unit match. The belt has never been replaced by me. The unit is in good physical shape... the button are all solid. I was told it worked when I bought it (ten years ago) but I have never plugged it in. I plugged it in after reading your response and nothing happend... If I remember right that is the expected behavior on a 410 where the SIO cable is not connected to a machine.

SOLD .. Thanks everyone.

How can your collection be complete without a boxed Atari 410? Make it complete now by getting this one for only $21.00 and that includes shipping in the USA.

Yes you too can be the proud owner of these Atari trackballs for the 2600/8-Bit computers. They are in good condition other than some yellowing of the balls themselves. No Idea what they go for.. Make a an offer and assume shipping is included... Or BIN for $21.00 Shipped What a bargain!

I have quite a few Atari 2600 Cartridge shells. I removed the labels about 2 years ago and they have been sitting in storage ever since. I have decided that three closets, a full attic, and tons of crawl space being used up is just too much.. So I am starting here with fighting the urge to hoard. I count 180 carts.. These are all standard 2600 carts (pacman, combat, etc) no 7800 or later 2600 carts. My preference would be to sell them as a set but insignificant chunks (say 30 carts or more) is fine as well.. The only thing I have done to these carts is remove the label so technically they are still playable.. You could play name that mystery game! (what.. combat again?) I have no idea what these go for.. .75 cents each plus shipping?

Hey.. I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 which is a double sided auto-feed scanner. The scans are saved into a PDF which I then separate into TIFFS and use PhotoShop to clean up (my own small macros that remove some of the bleed through from the other side of the page and convert non color pages into greyscale). I use Acrobat Pro to reassemble the Tiffs back into a PDF. The OCR process straightens out the pages... So: Fujitsu ScanSnap S510, PhotoShop, Acrobat Pro. I don't think the S510 is made anymore hence the near 1000 pricetag on Amazon for the few that remain.. That is a shame as the reviews show it is quite the little performer The replacement is the scansnap S1500 I think. A heavy paper cutter is also s good investment

OK.. Good to go now.

Well crap it is bad.. I have deleted it and it is uploading again.. unfortunately it is a big file so it will be a while. It will show as a 404 until I can confirm it is a good upload. Sorry people I got in a hurry

Thanks for the kudos and information on how you found the magazines everyone... Very nice to know that people are downloading and actually reading these things and not just building collections One quick note as I have had a few requests to finish up 1976: I have these issues done (one left to process and bookmark)... I will be gone for most of the month of February (visiting Medellin, Colombia whew whew!) So I plan on throwing these up before I go to keep my once-a-week average.. I have three more magazine besides 1976 to post before I leave (unless I get lazy then it will be two). One of them is June 1979 and the other two I do not know as of yet.

Hey there.. I did not switch to unlimited - the ISP switched me to unlimited and no longer offers a set max. I assume they can offer unlimited since they can just slow down the transfer rate as the demand rises. We haev a lot more people downloading the mags and the magazine yesterday was a large issue.. I imagine that was major reason for the slowdown. As far as overall bandwidth yesterday was not too bad - about 26 gigs copmared to 63 gigs the day before and 52 gig the day before that (I put up the new magazine late yesterday so I am interested in tomorrows numbers). If the mirrors are getting hit to hard I can pull them out of the main listing.. I don't know where the new people are coming from and they seem content not to tell us Could just be the chatter bumping up the thread more people are finding the thread though it seems that about 80% of the visitors are not registered users...
