The M2382D-xx is a strange bird in that if you have checked 'hide' in the settings during any point(initial or in use)... you can't get that back until you reset the monitor/dtv once you do that you are annoyed with the pop ups... but between the ratio setting and answering a yes or no question on mode selections such as hdmi or component choosing one way and then another the display actually changes... very odd indeed. with some experimentation you might get more out of it.

billc, one of your televisions has JUST SCAN mode turn it on... you may see some oddities around the edges but in theory it should let you see more. LG 55UJ6200

I like this, so many games and movies only give stuff that is pertinent to the story... that's how to guess/figure out everything in a movie making for boredom. The family wonders how I knew it or ponders why I go off to do something else at a certain point. I like having stuff that doesn't need to be used for advancement and that all rocks don't break... sometimes they need to be blasted! a pick axe just won't do!

and earlier in the thread you see that all you need for TTL is a ribbon and connector...

why not just have a driver for BXE etc. it wouldn't be the first time another driver is needed for this or that combination. also did the status bug byte error get fixed as BillC has also tried some driver and what not and said it only worked with Atari's driver...

poke 82,0 or it's equivalent and see if it's 79 across?

LDP-600WS LaserDisc by philips might be a better rgb choice.

the best that model does is svideo

Look at all this good history we have going on here! We get to learn about stamps! Mailboxes! Origins! People of note... and for a bonus (as usual) everybody did postal service first tf_hh, We've all been enriched at least in some part by the ongoing discussion of logistics, postal services, the mechanics of delivery and the differing services that are available. So there's that. I hope all packages arrive and are delivered to folks... Making this time as painful as possible is ending as is all that who will be in office stuff. I am certain deliveries will pick up now, little birdies that fed me history lessons are in the know. Who else but a died in the wool postal worker would know all those postal trivia and history points... The maximum pain campaign is over. Now that the hurt is over shall we thank the abusers? Not quite yet though... the practice of sending parcels around on passenger airplanes won't be back to normal until flights get back up to full swing. So we will continue to have one piece of the chain that's still broken...

oh I know that one- the lawsuit that got rolling in 2011 by some 44,000 complainants of which 28,000 were found to have some basis to be included as the compliment 16,000 were eliminated from from that number. All of that continued on through 2016 and on and on until finally the lumbering system acted upon it from late november and continuing to this day... Yeah my daughter is a bit of a socialist and keeps me up to date on things real, imagined and otherwise sometimes by shear involvement of unrelated topics. The grinder continues across many administrations doesn't it?

WOW you actually accepted that! If I'd observed the truck approach and deliver that.. I'd've refused damaged deliveries and/or documentation noting that it was delivered in whatever state especially if I am present for the delivery. How badly were the food and toys mangled? Looks like the kitty enjoys the boxes more than anything else! I still tend to go by the majority of what's happening rather than the anecdote or exception of what's happening. It just improves our chances of success without damage.

They look like 'Smart Post' labels... last miles delivered by the USPS FedEx SmartPost, which is similar to UPS SurePost, is a hybrid shipping service with which FedEx will pick up packages from the shipping destination, and then hand the packages off to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) for the final delivery to the end customer.

um didn't some laser disk players support RGB out?

@kheller2, I feel your pain brother! I feel your pain.

DHL was a private company and wasn't eaten by Deutsche Post until 2002 @DjayBee Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn in San Francisco take a step destined to alter the global economy: In 1969, they founded the company DHL - the three letters stand for the initials of their last names. DHL didn't have much in the way of financial troubles until after becoming a subsidiary of the Deutsche Postal service. In 2008 they almost lost all service in a number of countries, killing off entire towns that relied on them. It wasn't until later that DHL re imagined itself as a private-public partnership and employed private company ideals in their satellites that they started to rebuild and come back as on of the premier delivery services in the world again.

in 3500–3100 BCE the Mesopotamian trade network wrapped clay tokens in thin sheets of clay that were then baked. These Mesopotamian envelopes called bullae were intended to deter fraud so that in trading, sellers could be certain that the correct amount of goods would get to their buyers. Eventually tokens were done away with and a tablet with markings were used instead. Rome is the first well documented postal service arising under Augustus Caesar around the time of the birth of Christ. The North American the mail system began in the late 1600s as mail was carried by merchants, friends and Native Americans. 1673 saw Governor Francis Lovelace create a monthly post between New York and Boston. Also in 1683, William Penn opened Pennsylvania’s first post office. They were all very individualized and not designed very well, they relied on some third party transporting mail between posts. Following the Boston Tea Party and the separation from England in 1775 at some point the continental congress met and during discussion one outcomes was the appointment of Ben Franklin as the Postmaster General. From there the Postal service got involved in how the roads and route of this country were used and laid down...During times of crisis and war the military has been known to transport and even deliver the mail. Maybe that's what needs to happen again! Mail used to be delivered several times a day in some areas. Consider that in 1653, Frenchman Jean-Jacques Renouard de Vilayer? (spelling please) (1607–1691) established a postal system in Paris. Complete with mailboxes they delivered any letters placed in them if they used pre-paid postage envelopes that he sold. De Vilayer's? business did not last long when as a devious person put live mice in the mailboxes scaring away customers. (SIR) Rowland Hill (1795–1879), invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1837, and in doing so he was knighted! Through his work the first postage stamp system in the world was started in England in 1840. Hill created the first postage rates that were based on weight rather than size. Hill's stamps made the prepayment of postage practical. That's about all there is really worth noting...

They won't bite Jeff Bezos' hand because he feeds them, or Buffet.... nah say it ain't so. I guess it's just business. I love the broken printers and 800's that the USPS gorilla squad delivers. That doesn't seem to happen with DHL or FedEX. I'm sorry but if that sort of thing doesn't matter, it still comes down to people doing their jobs. Sadly, I actually know a few people that work at the hub up here at the Airport, they are paid very well and laugh about this sort of stuff... It could be worse they say. Perhaps that may be true, but how much worse? Lost, broken, not delivered, mail on the street and in dumpsters? They are better paid than most in this area... iron, coke, chromium, and steel have left this area, as well as coal. Listening to the whining when others are far worse off than they are and the contempt towards those customers is inexcusable. Blame whatever blah blah thing or person you want. Perhaps if they did things well and treated people well they wouldn't have to worry about that political stuff you keep mentioning, they'd have the people on their side, how's about that?

The post office has sucked where I live for 11 years. Who's to blame inferences are a joke. FEDEX, UPS, AMAZON, heck even DHL is doing better... not to mention the local lyft and uber drivers are now delivering better than them as well... If you need the full weight and backing of an entire country to deliver an envelope you have more serious problems than whatever turd sits in office

atari vcs 800? it's actually pretty decent, just add keyboard and mouse, you can increase memory and storage if you want. Linux by default but you can multiboot it or use OS on a stick. I'd put Altirra on it if I were you... any which OS you choose, then you can emulate an 800 incognito in a Atari VCS 800. Good stuff! Put all your .atr's on it and your Atari VCS 800 will be both just like it is labeled There are other 8 bit emulators but Phaerons' is my go to.

VCS800+Altirra Atari emulated on an Atari!

I'll go a step further... he's eaten some shipping for people. His offerings are impeccable and he backs people up with support long after almost anyone on the planet would have ceased helping. I absolutely agree that he would not be the one to short anybody. My postal worker just delivered packages to me again... but none of them were mine.... I am sick and tired of making deliveries for them, what do you think I should do? I think I'll drive to town and sit in line for half an hour, listen to them lecture me on how I should drive the packages to whoever it belongs to yet again and how terrible it is to require them to deliver it properly themselves. Please give the man some slack, if you don't get a package... let the shipping persons start the investigation and make sure they send you a copy of the forms and process through email or otherwise. Your first move isn't to file with the credit card company, ebay, pay pal, or bank... it will just take longer if you do since they will all conduct their own investigations and the finally it get investigated by the courrier/service anyway.

The USPS no longer requires merit based employment... they used to be ridiculous with civil service testing and bureaucratic nonsense but at least the carriers and delivery truck, van, jeep, and Grumman drivers knew the street numbering systems inside and out. Now it is a bastian of bureaucratic and systemic incompetence from acceptance to 'possible' delivery. Our delivery persons changes at will, always on their phones, texting, messaging etc., dancing and singing abhorrently lyriced songs, as the parcels fall to the ground, many times not to be picked up at all. I kid you not... letters containing TAX records and information littered our streets for a number of weeks. We picked them up and delivered them to each other! This is how our government services are run today... complain and you'll get worse treatment... it may end up in a dumpster so there won't be any sorting out later. I watched while waiting in the normal line to the door one day as a man pleaded with whoever was in charge at the post office, the postal worker went on some rant about the poor soul being an un American degenerate and should be thankful for their 'service'. The man was polite and reserved in his wording to the postal workers but it didn't matter. Begging is no way to live, but that's where this mess is heading.

interesting as a local community college nacc-acc (northampton area community college was the name but it's changed now)... also ran some of those BBS software choices... they of course provided an Atari area.... and the college hosted ABE's ACE's meetings for a time...

remember this fixture only plays the game for a limited time then resets till you select it again.. it is not a full time game changer but rather a sales kiosk that you load with real cartridges to choose from then the timer starts so you can try it out... when the time is up so is your game

yep, bye on rbbs is sort of like waitcall on bbsexpresspro
