  1. I like retro stuff, but what is the purpose of the VBXE? To me it looks like a massive video upgrade beyond anything atari produced, maybe even on par with the Amiga or beyond? If anyone has details, please explain :)


  2. Being that I'm a Unix / Linux Sysadmin by trade may have something to do with it ;)

    With the exception of just ignoring windows completely, can we start a new thread about ideas to remove windows from the world? For example:

    Active Directory -> 389 Directory Services

    Exchange -> Zimbra

    Windows XP -> Ylmf OS

    to name a few...

     

    Anyway, I've stopped work on everything Atari to see where flashjazzcat goes with his GUI <- best A8 project of all time!


  3. I contacted him this morning asking - routinely, I assumed - if it was OK to collect if I won the item. "Sorry, no collection" was his terse response. I'm afraid I was unable to restrain myself in my reply.

    Simple... Bid on the item, then use ebay to request the seller's personal information. Call the guy on the telephone and tell him that you'll meet him at a corner shop to pick up the goods

     

    Failing that, create a fake facebook of a smoking hot local girl that visits the local pubs, post plenty of pictures, and then friend the guy on facebook. Once friended, post about his treatment of you on ebay.


  4. With the specific exception of a few security oriented functions, I thought the world moved to nano??? <-similar to DOS's edit program. You guys and your editors... Reason being that this is a Microsoft-centric world, which is also why things like ylmf os exist.

     

    EDIT: ok you got me, bottom of the page here says "VIM - a text editor"... :)


  5. no, more like a root canal. Took the same amount of time (to get over) but only cost half the price. Remember, I live in Southern California, in a very specific part. The part Fast n Furious movies were based on (and actually still take place every Saturday night despite the efforts of law enforcement). Root canal $600, pull tooth $200, Rent is $1000 for 2 bedroom house with 2 bath & extra room. Electricity is $350 last month. So yeah, what a deal on my MIO! More pics to come soon.


  6. Talk about beating a dead horse...

     

    devekr, the MIO+RT8+PRC combo seller, has just lost a feedback point. Which means he received a feedback point, and then eBay retracted that point... If anyone has information regarding why devekr may have lost the feedback point, please let me know. I'm losing faith in this particular auction, and I bid $305 yesterday...

     

    Specifically, has anyone seen this MIO+RT8+PRC picture in a flickr or photobucket album? I have requested additional pictures, just waiting to hear back from the guy. I hope this works out...
