true, but only insofar as PC = Personal Computer. The reality is when people say PC they mean a Windows computer.I think Apple has been false advertising: A MAC IS A PC TOO!!!!
then why did OS 9 have viruses when it's market share was even less than OS X?it can get viruses and spyware too. the only reason it dosent, is because Mac isnt very popular. 99.9% of computer i have ever used or seen was windows. I'll tell you what, if the popularity shifts to Mac, its gonna be hit so hard by viruses and spyware, everyone is gonna go back to windows anyway.Maybe because OS 9 was released 3 years before OS X so while it's market share was declining there had already been viruses written for it

Current Macs can Boot into Mac OS, Windows or Linux, and can also run all of them at the same time. Why choose one when you can have them all?
Well okay I'll give them that, but why would you buy a mac to run linux? It'd just be cheaper to build a pc and then load linux on.

LOL! I didn't know Steve Ballmer had an account on AtariAge!
Had a good laugh reading the thoughts of every Windows user that doesn't know better in one concise post... Might as well lock this now.
I've tried macs and I don't really like them because of the limited amount of software that I know is availible for them, games mostly that don't run without bootcamp which doens't count because it turn the mac into a pc. I really hate Apples I'm a mac campaign because I feel that their representation of themselves is just a smug arrogant college student who buys anything that looks shiny. And to touch upon viruses on pc and fewer on the mac, macs have fewer viruses just because of how little the market share they truley hold no security system is full proof and any system will be hacked eventually, not to mention on reliablility I have a friend whos Mac has broken twice this year and he takes good care of it.

Wow that is an awsome find
-
I prefer windows as it has much more software and hardware availible for it and unlike apple I don't percieve microsoft as a bunch of arogant pricks. I have a kid at my school who is a mac supporter and he thinks that Steve Jobs is the soul behind apple even though it was Steve Wozniaks programming skills that made apple succesful. He also believes that it's alright Steve Jobs failed when he made his own company and that the Woz ruined apple, arrogance at it's best

Okay well just pm me when you can about the pictures and we'll work out a final deal
-
Well I sent Oldjd the dimensions so lets see if his wife can make us a vectrex cover

Hi, I have this problem with Battlefield vietnam when I'm playing it after a little bit the screen will start blacking out and stop accepting my controls. I'm a pilot in the game most of the time so when this happens by the time I get it to come back with ctrlaltdel I've crashed most of the time. Does anyone know how to fix this problem I run vista 32 bit and have tried compatiblity mode
-
what games are you trying? Some 5200 games a incompatible with the two port 5200.
-
So yeah, if you can make it similar to that I would definetly buy it as soon as I got the money and I'm sure a fair share of people on ebay would want one as well.
-
do mame machines allow you to change the dip switches and keep the high scores?
If you can't do it the right way then this would be a good solution as well -

would it be possible to get a vectrex cover that looked like this

Thats a vectrex original dust cover and I would like one that at least looks like the original, originals go for over 100 dollars
Edit: ok the image didn't show up so heres the sight where I got the picture http://www.vectrex.nl/gfx/misc/dustcovers.jpg
-
$10 for the set or each individual box?
yea 10 bucks for each box is crazy, you can get those games complete in similar condition for less then 10 bucks
-
also what's your ebay acount, I think I might have bought from you in the past
-
Thanks for the reference pictures.Does the bottom section with the joystick fold up into the unit?And if it does is it flush?
Yes it the joystick folds into the system, it underneath an overhang from the screen and even is still flush with the system around it.
-
If someone can post a pix of the vectrex unit that would help.
Yes can do Playstations.
Like I said I have the majority of the consoles that she has made the covers for here.That way she can fit them correctly.
If any of you have a console that you want a cover for ,that we dont have.Pictures and dimensions will help
there are pictures of just about every angle of it here except the back http://www.classicgamecreations.com/vecpix.html
-
I don't have the money right now but I might have it soon, but if you just want the vectrex dimensions they are 9¾ x 11½ x 14½
-
If you had any for the vectrex that would be awsome, the originals are way to expensive

You can keep the games and just sell me those abused boxes
Or keep the boxes packed away and the games in a small box or Tupperware.
Yeah there actaully in good condtion just with one or two creases on the top flap, so I guesse I should just keep the games out of the box
But if you are looking for boxes https://www.atari260...xes--SUB12.html atari2600.com has some
Atari2600.com is a great site.
But I was only kidding about needing any...In fact I need to get rid of abunch.
really, what do you have and it just the boxes?
-
Alright I just took all of my games and overlays out of their boxes and I'll just handle them like that from now on.

Hi, I have couple complete vectrex games that I take out and play every so often. Should I keep the games and overlays inside the box, I'm a little concerned over the top flap and how much damage that will take, how do all you handle your games?

I was talking about desktops, but there are still cheaper laptops out there that you can just load linux onto. The charge for a laptop is important so I guesse mac wins there.
