  1. Floppies - the larger they were the floppier they became!

  2. East Sussex not kent. Soory to hear you were chucking up veggie soup. This heat can't be helping. As the doctor always "rest and drink plenty of liquids".

  3. Soz for delay, was chucking up my guts most of yesterday, nice to see you still alive and terrorizing most of south kent

  4. Personal problems. Lost a bit of interest in AA for a while. Most of the questions/posts weren't that interesting or only of importance if you lived across the pond. I liked the poetry topic-not something I would have expected, as poetry doesn't seem to be a suject you would openly admit to liking. Hope you're keeping well. Not seen many posts from you or not many others complaining...

  7. T'was not me who got 'im sacked. I mean left with mutual agreement. Anyway, you said it wuold be that irish bloke who used to manage villa would be taking over not the wrinkly kilt wearing person.

  8. what did i tell yah, Hodgson was a dead man walking, and now like benitez b4 him he is an ex liverpool manager, apparently it was a lot of you so called fellow supporters that forced the clubs new owners to sack him

  9. Thanks. Belated Merry Xmas to you too.

  10. happy birthday and belated christmas mr hollowpoint

  11. What is that anyway? The hub or hole in the middle of the floppy has an extra ring of plastic around it. The early IBM floppy drives had trouble gripping the hub and so the floppy would slip when being spun. So, to get around the problem they added the ring to thicken the edge of the hole where the disc is gripped. Later 1.2MB drives didn't have this problem so the hub ring was not needed. That's why a 360KB floppies have the ring and 1.2MB flops don't.
  12. As promissed. Couldn't be bothered scnning the watch face so took some pics instead. Closed Box with cardboard surround Box opened - notice the gold lettering inside the lid as well as the front Watch Face Instructions Guarantee (it is also stamped with supplier and date of spurchase on the erverse) Original Receipt If anyone knows a site that has this version of the Space Attack watch I would be very much interested.
  13. Fantastic you found it for me. Ok! now that Nelsonic watch is very rare, according to the site it's 4$ out of 5. My version is the same watch - same game - same module - same batts - same case and strap, but it' not the same. Mine is stamped Zeon not Nelsonic and the game is called Space Invaders with a reg trade mrk symbol beside the name because it was licensed from Taito. Mine is also in near mint condition (no scratches on the glass just a little bitof the paint on the fake alarm grill is missing), boxed with original instructions guarantee and reciept - it was purchased no the 31oct1981 and cost £29.95 - and still has the cardboard surround for the box. The glass is dark blue/green with gold not the black of the nelsonic version. It works perfectly but the current set of batts need replacing. Too late to scan a pic of it - will do tomorrow. The nelsonic version is the only version I can find and that took me 5 years to find. I have never found the Zeon version. Rough estimate of value is about £150.
  14. I was looking for the american version of my game watch but found your for sale on this site http://vintagedigitalwatches.com/watches7.htm Still looking for mine
  15. I'm glad you list Night Mission because I used to play it back in the 80's on an IBM XT during night shift. It was one of the first non-basic programs we got. My work colleague got about 11 million on it one night. If yur score goes over a million a dot appears over the score. The more millions the more dots. A lot more modern - MS brought out Pinball Arcade that was basically a history of Pinball with tables from each generation.
