A 1.6GHz P4 w/2GB of RAM and WinXP was used in my MAME cabinet for several years. I'd probably still be using it if one of the DIMM sockets on the motherboard didn't stop working.

I didn't know there was multiple versions of the Sears catalogs. The two I have are on the right (on the picture above).

I have two: one loose that I got in an eBay lot in 2003 and another that came in a CIB Pong Sports that I bought a few years later. I don't think I've ever seen one otherwise.

1994-2004: Amass everything I could get my hands on 2005-2011: Buy very specific things I didn't already own and/or really wanted, but only if the price was right 2012+: Rarely buy anything except a couple homebrews every year

I didn't own an Atari 8-bit computer until I bought a huge lot locally, for about $150 IIRC, from an eBay seller in 1998. But all my other 8-bit's (with the exception of my C64 which I used sporadically until about 1992-1993) were boxed up and packed away between 1990 and 1997.

Just got notification that mine was delivered to my front porch. Can't wait to get home tonight to check it out....

I had a Magnavox Odyssey 2000 that I used occasionally until at least 1982-1983.

PM sent.

I received reservation #113 also.

Soundblaster Pro + a CD-ROM (a Panasonic drive, IIRC) for my 386DX-40. The CD-ROM wasn't SCSI and interfaced directly to the Soundblaster Pro with a ribbon cable. It was also the first and last CD-ROM drive I ever had that used a "caddy".

Star Fire in the Starcade at Disneyland about 1980 or 1981. They had an upright on the upper level and a cockpit on the bottom level. It was the only time in my life I've ever seen this machine in person until I went to Funspot in 2009.

I had one BITD but the only other game I had for it (besides Phaser Patrol) was Fireball. I let someone borrow it after I had most of my Atari 2600 stuff boxed up around 1988 or 1989 and I never saw it again. I've since bought another one and most of the games.

A Texas Instruments portable terminal with built-in acoustic coupler and thermal printer circa 1979-1980 (my dad would bring it home from work once in a while and I'd "talk" to him with it) Commodore VicModem (used with VIC-20 and C-64 before I owned a disk drive) Some generic auto answer/dial 300 baud modem (MasterModem, I think?) Commodore 1670 (ran a C-Net BBS with it for two years) Apple Modem 1200 (purchased from a ComputerLand in Anaheim, CA along with a Super Serial Card on December 8th, 1984; still have the receipt and the CIB modem) Some generic external 2400 baud modem (don't recall the brand) that I used with my Amiga 500 and later an Amiga 2000 - also used it with my first PC and a Wildcat! BBS I didn't own a 9600 baud modem back in the day. I went from an external 2400 baud modem to an external USRobotics Sportster 14.4K. I used the Sportster to access the Internet for the first time in late 1993. I had an external USRobotics Courier 33.6K at some point that I bought used or open box. I don't remember much about this for some reason. I also think this is the last stand alone modem I've ever bought.

Order #2663 for copy #29.
