Wonderful pictures!

What does it do? Allow you to connect 16 consoles off on one RF switch?

I don't see why it couldn't be $299. Blu-ray players are cheap now. I don't see that raising the cost very much. I'm pretty sure all the xbox live stuff and the 360 controller will still be around. In fact, the 360 would make a great media streaming box to compete against Roku or Apple TV. Just shrink it down a little and remove the dvd player. Keep all the services and download content.

The new room picture makes me happy.

A power point presentation has been leaked by Microsoft on the new XBox. It's to be released next year for $299. It's six times faster than the 360, includes a new Kinect, 3d glasses, connectivity with tables/phones, lots of online services and a blu-ray player. It looks like a dvd player. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/paul-thurrotts-wininfo/massive-leak-reveals-generation-xbox-143461

Mine was an Atari 400 with upgraded keyboard, a 410 program recorder and the Educators package. I later upgraded it to 48k and then replaced it with an 130XE.

Those are great books. I've typed in every example in those things.

I could have sworn I had David's midnight magic on my XE. I think it was on disk orginally anx then in cart later. This is a great port of the 2600 version. Congrats.

We talked about exactly that. We could swap the 360 for the wii in the office. He needs to spend this summer outside instead of playing video games.

I'm glad your here to tell us this professor.

Those things are already set. I even changed the password. It seems Microsoft will allow any user to redownload any boughten software without regards to new parental settings.

I wonder how that is supose to work?

I was checking out my son's 360 and noticed he has downloaded a number of inappropriate rated M games. I deleted them but how do I keep him from just downloading them again?

Maybe the guy that was making the labels was fired and they brought someone else in to shake things up?

What do you think of Microsoft's new Smart Glass for the XBox? It lets you control the XBox via a smartphone, tablet or ipod touch. Is this Microsoft's answer to the Wii U? http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/microsoft-smartglass-hands-on/

Thanks for saying Evil Otto. My picture disappeared.

I agree but it was cool and why humans can fly with a red cape? Those are Kryptonians But only if there is a yellow sun.

I wonder if paypal has some kind of escrow service? That way the money could be put in escrow as you wait for eletronics to be made and shipped. The seller doesn't get the money until after it ships but is guarenteed the money is waiting.

Why does Vanguard play the Queen music from Flash Gordon?

Mostly ebay. I very rarely find video games at thrift stores anymore. I once found a mint Kangroo arcade cabinet (with manuals) for $50 at a local thrift store. I also saw a Popeye arcade machine there but it disappeared before I could bring back the cash.

See you on Thursday. Large Man with Dead Body: Right.
