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.
-
Anyone see themselves??
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

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
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 The belt has never been replaced by me.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.

BYTE Vol 00-07 1976-03 Cassette Interfaces - 100 Pages 56,719,636 bytes
BYTE Vol 00-07 from March 1976... Really this issue should be "Magnetic Recording" since the first half is dedicated to storing data in magnetic from on different Media. Nice if
Look on page 88 (90 in the PDF) for the 12 bit micro that may be starting the switch over from 8-bit!

BYTE Vol 04-06 1979-06 Artificial Intelligence - 288 Pages 184,211,897 bytes
BYTE Vol 04-06 from June 1979... Another "pretty good" issue. Read all about creating a model of a brain for a robot (part 1) in what must be the longest BYTE article ever... A bit over my head but I did truly enjoy the maze traversal article.
BYTE News: An S-100 BUS Standard soon! That should make a difference.. TI and HP rumor of possible consumer computer systems? Intel to make an ANALOG processor? Future Processors at $1.00 (talking about the 6502)?? DOD loves ADA and 4K Programmable memory being introduced. Nice stuff!

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?

Just wondering... what scanner and software are you using to scan these in? I've been wanting to pick up a document scanner to digitize a bunch of old paperwork and magazines and wanted a recommendation.
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.

AtariUser 05 1991-09 Storage for all Ataris - 40 Pages 29,604,676 bytes
Issue #5 of AtariUser Magazine from September 1991.. Still going strong and still at 40 pages and still lots of ads. Atari still trying to get dealers to sell machines after years of being screwed over.. AtariFests smaller but more of them. Secret Atari ST being developed? Lots of other news that really would only interest the true Atari fan.

Thumpnugget: just wondering how your download stats are for the last day or two? since ive been on the front page ive noticed a significant increase in traffic. perhaps we should rotate the mirrors, or i could maybe script something to do it (byte.exotica.org.uk that redirects). you mentioned your download limits and switching to unlimited - previously i got around 300kb/second+ downloading, and last issue i got 50kb/second which took a while - if your hosting provider does that to give unlimited, i wonder if its not a good upgrade
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... -
BYTE Vol 07-11 1982-11 Graphics - 636 Pages 427,638,145 bytes
BYTE Vol 07-11 from November 1982... A crappy cover but a big big issue with lots of good stuff! I wish I had grabbed this one a bit earlier as it has a really nice TRON article that goes through the creation of the computer models and such.. There is an (non Chris Crawford) Atari article on using the color registers for animation. A couple of games from a recent contest are in this issue, almost makes it feel like a compute! magazine
An interview with the creator of the 6502.. this is an all day read The BYTElines has some interesting fodder including tidbits on the "new" commodore 65000 processor and The quote of the month per BYTE:
Eight Things Your Computer Won't Do:
1) A computer won't save you money.
2) A computer won't make your organization run right.
3) A computer won't solve every problem.
4) A computer won't run itself.
5) A computer won't always be right.
6) A computer won't protect itself.
7) A computer won't meet all its own needs.
A computer won't become obsolete.Features
