You sound like me LOL,

I fired up mine last week,  Had to do it....But then today is cold and wet,...I actually had to turn my heater back on this morning, and heat still costs way more than AC...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Taking care of aging parents is difficult, thankless work.

My condolences.

Sorry to hear Woody and condolences. Welcome back too

Long time Woody! Still rockin' the Amiga?

Heyyy!!!

I know.

Well, s***. It still doesn't work. Copy and paste, I guess....LOL

It only works in the original status update. Links aren't clickable in replies to a status update. You could always make a new status update. Just make sure there is always a space before the link, and if you add text after the link, make sure there is a space between the link and the text.

A lot of people are freaked out when they see a man inside their medicine cabinet.

I got one as a present. Although it still takes me about 45 minutes to go to sleep, I find that I stay asleep longer and it hasn't gone flat the 2 years I've had it.

Funny thing was years ago I got two _firm_ pillows for my then-new mattress, and I later saw one of those infomercials.

Turns out that was the very 'secret' behind My Pillow as blabbed in plain sight by the creator!

EVEN BETTER, _THOSE_ pillows came from Walmart! XD

yeah, been there myself, sounds like exactly. Sorry to hear this wood, it sucks.

Am doing this right now.

My father has been near the edge of death for nearly a decade now...

He has been "Living on borrowed time" for 5-7 years now.

Nonsense! This is the period of enlightenment. The sadness doesn't stem from lack of time.

But when you retire, you should have lots of time.

I'm disabled, so I have nothing but free time, yet I still have trouble getting around to playing. One of my issues is the ever increasing arthritis in my thumbs.

The fact that it bothers you at all says enough in my book. Now let's go play more Atari.

You're not alone. At one point I had been spamming the status updates and got told to knock it off. (It scared me.)

It's the post-dog daze haze. Heat, humidity, weather fluctations.

Language is the key.

Damn Dude... lol

Yeah, I know. I just have to tell you I am sorry, again.

wondered what happened to you!

Welcome back - we left the lights on for ya.

Good to see you back!

Not really- "buy our new Xbox! It'll be obsolete in a year!" I'd rather wait to see just what Scorpio is.

Nope. All my hype is directed towards the NX at this point, though the PS4 does have some very tempting looking exclusives.

4K does nothing for me since I only have a 1080p HDTV, so like I said in another thread...I'll get a (now cheaper) standard X1 model and next year trade it in towards a Scorpio if it's worth it for the improved graphics.

You upgrade to current versions?

Mega Everdrive $$$ and SD2SNES $$$ but never tried 'em yet.

I won't comment about the temperatures here.

Its hot as Hades in the Lone Star state.....all month !

The Atari 2600 is older than I am.

No classic videogame console is older than me! I made sure of that!

Still love my 520ST

Have you tried Clonezilla? It's extremely easy, fast, reliable, and free. You can use all the default settings and get a perfect copy (or restore) in the scenario you've described above, or geek out and dig into the features. No install. Booting into a Clonezilla Live CD (downloadable ISO) and using the default settings, you're creating a backup (or restoring) in seconds.

Yep. Much better than PING. It tends to freak out on images it made!

Acronis for the win!

edit: $5 off $25 or more. Should have bought them separately for $25 each!

That's GM India, and it's in Rupees, so it would be the equivalent of $80 to $320.

They already paid back the bridge loan a long time ago, so I'd say it probably was worthy. Still no intentions of buying a GM car any time soon, but that has nothing to do with the bailout.

GOV'T LOST 11.2 BILLION on the deal, though.

I love my Turbografx-16!

Huge fan since the 90's. You'll like it. Great shooters.

I love the TG-16!!

It wouldn't surprise me. I've tried reading PHP code, but it always seems to be a hopelessly messy and headache-inducing soup of HTML and PHP. I realize that it's possible to write good code and bad code in any language, but even "good" PHP code is usually a mess.

Where'd you all go?

Welcome back

Thanks, Ninja! New Yawk, save2600. CPUWIZ: that thread didn't come up in my 30 pages of "new!" (???) Thanks!!!

I know. I'm in the same situation with books and DVDs. I'm buried in physical media. But when I retire, I'll be able to have fun for years at no cost, so it's all good.

It feels really good to get rid of stuff and "focus" your collection. I am sticking with Atari and Nintendo, two (once) great companies with excellent canons of work. I still won't have time to play all the games but my collection will fill a wall in my man cave and look beautiful

Slowly coming to the realization that I'll never have time to play all the games or read all the books I've collected. Won't be getting any next gen systems (until they get really, really cheap.)

It's better than being pissed on though..Am I right?!? (crickets...)
