  1. Windows 10 tablets are pretty fun.

      Yeah, I've been liking the 2017 NuVision one. Haven't played any games on it, but it's been working well for web browsing, reading manga, connects to the NAS alright, and it's even done okay at playing 10-bit 1080p anime files. Pretty good battery life so far. Haven't had to charge it in the middle of the day yet, just have to plug it in at night.

      The first Windows tablet I picked up was the Chuwi Hi8 Pro and it completely died on me after about 15 minutes of use. If you're going to buy one be sure to get it from a US seller with a good return policy. I had one hell of a nightmare dealing with the Chinese website I bought it from.

       

      The second tablet which died on me was actually the 2016 NuVision 8in 1920x1200. I got from the Microsoft store online during a sale. That one crapped out on me after a few hours. The return pr...

      Gotta get a bluetooth keyboard and set up Kodi and see how it looks tethered to the big screen.

      I got the 2017 NuVision 8in 1920x1200 tablet. First two Windows tablets I tried had hardware failures within the first day so I was pretty wary of giving it another shot, but this one's been holding up well. Mostly use it for media consumption while in bed or relaxing in the bath. I don't use it for anything heavy since I have a good desktop and a couple ThinkPads I prefer using for most tasks.

  5. Who has two thumbs and 21 IBM Model M keyboards? This guy! Seriously though, I rescued them all from the trash heap at work. Now I need to clean them up and see what they fetch.

      I sold a Model M to a guy on eBay a while ago who was really into keyboards and was sending me links and stuff about the particular model I was selling. He told me to contact him if I ever came across any more Model M keyboards. If you want I can contact him and see if he's comfortable with me giving you his info.

  6. If I had to get just ONE Atari Computer, what would it be. I enjoy my Apple IIGS and have room for one more vintage

  7. Just upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro. Took a while, but I got everything set up to be exactly like I had it in Windows 7.

      I was completely happy with 7, but the slight efficiency improvements and the more thorough Task Manager finally convinced me to upgrade.

      If either of you ever go with Windows 8.1 in the future definitely download Classic Shell to bring back the Start Menu. In 8.1 you can also set up your computer to go straight to the Desktop, so you'll never have to even see the Start Screen if you don't want to.

      Are those things any good? I see them at discount stores all the time and consider getting them before backing out.

  9. I bought Halo for the PC the other day. Having only ever played it on the XBOX, the control scheme on the PC felt really weird at first, but I'm fast becoming used to it. Sniping is so much easier with a mouse.

      I've heard that, and now I'm starting to believe it.

  10. NO thank you, iTunes, I most certainly do not want to BUY the (questionable, I know) movie Battleship for $19.99, but I wouldn't mind RENTING it. Too bad that's not an option!

  11. Can't find my copy of Warcraft II. I have been relegated to playing Warcraft III.

      I grew up playing Warcraft II, and I have a lot of fond memories of it.

      Today was my first time playing Warcraft III, and I'm finding it definitely doesn't have the charm of II.

      I'm just getting over a sickness myself. I'll tell ya, herbal tea with lemon juice and honey will do wonders.

      I've been a Chrome guy for a while now. It's different at first, but I've found it to be better matched to my surfing habits than Firefox was.

  14. Got my first 3DO today,now I need games

    1. MagnaFarce

      Also, http://www.collectorscardsandgames.com/games.htm has good prices on games in general. When I first got my 3DO I bought a game (disc only) for $14 on Ebay, which was the cheapest one on there. The guy at CC&G had it boxed for $4. I haven't bought a game from Ebay since.

      As someone who likes using my legs instead of a vehicle, I can sympathize with you. Motorists can be real douches sometimes.

      And the USPS would get a cool $141,750,000 in stamp sales!

  18. Almost settled.. It's between a Neo Geo CD console, Chrono Trigger for the SNES or Panasonic 3DO FZ-10

    1. MagnaFarce

      MagnaFarce

      I'd say go for the Neo Geo CD or the 3DO. I myself have a 3DO and love that I can just burn games on a CD if I want to give them a try, and it looks like you can do that with the Neo Geo CD as well.

  19. Finally joined the 21st century and bought a blu-ray player.

      I know what you mean. I'm still in my transitional phase, myself. I bought an HD DVD player last month. I can't quite bring myself to go the full monty and get a Blu-ray player.
