I did a quick search on Priceline, and it isn't too bad, here are a few figures I got when going to Milwaukee MKE airport, leaving 6/2 and returning 6/5, round trip: From: Minneapolis: $220 Los Angeles: $310 Miami: $260 (1 stop) Dallas/Fort Worth: $250 Honolulu: $630 <- understandably expensive These may be a little cheaper if you go directly through the airline, too

I may give it a try... would there be any way to change airfare and transportation to gas reimbursement? It would probably be cheaper, and give the convenience of a car to me. Since I'm in Minneapolis, it wouldn't be too bad, maybe $150 round trip spongebue

I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but I'll do what I can to go

There is no kindess in my heart I did charge him, but it was pretty reasonable, I think ($100 labor, plus I helped him get some pretty good deals on parts)

About 9 months after my last cabinet was finished, I have completed a second arcade cabinet, this one for one of my former teachers. I told him about my old one, and he realized that is exactly what he would want. He and his wife are very enthusiastic about the colleges they went to, so they wanted that theme for their cabinet, and I was able to include it for the marquee, the control panel, and for a Mamewah skin I made. That said, take a look yourself!

What Killed Sega Saturn & Dreamcast?
spongebue replied to Atariboy2600's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I have to put my money down on timing for this one. The thing had no real generation that it came from. Everybody was either happy with their Nintendo 64, or was holding out for a PS2 to come out. Once the PS2/xbox/GCN came out, it kind of trampled on the poor thing, and it was removed from mainstream existence... and it's a shame, since it really did have decent potential Oh yeah, I also think that they should have put a DVD drive in that puppy, since the DVD market was finally maturing and people would like the "dual purpose" feature. -
And you thought Sony had the worst sneaky DRM?

I'm fine with copy protection, but I have to draw the line to the point where it can interfere with your average, innocent consumer. Unfortunately, this line has been crossed too many times -
I think it's 5 questions per thread, unlimited threads (that is, until you begin to piss people off with too many threads ) Which brings us to the next question: why is this in current events?

Si, vinieron el 3 de Octubre, y salieron el 10 (mas o menos) Era muy divertido hablar con unas personas que habla solo el espanol. Hoy, hay un hombre de Honduras que limpia la iglesia, pues hablo espanol con el cuando le veo. El habla mas lento que los nicaraguences, pero no tiene un voz "grande" (no se la palabra para "loud") Es divertido, porque puedo cantar chistes y hablar cosas diferentes, mas que "que tiempo hace?" o "que hora es?" (No aprendemos las cosas complicados en la comenza en la escuela, claro)

Buenos dias, Si, las lenguas son similares. Cuando aprendo todo del espanol bien, pienso en aprender el portuges (sp?) porque sera muy facil

CNN has an interesting perspective: a delay of the system will give developers a chance to polish, even finish games. http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/15/commentary...aming/index.htm

First post on the top of every page...

huh, wonder how that happened... *slips away in the darkness* -
I.. I... I don't like it! I know it's not a huge deal, but I see that in one of the latest invision upgrades (or around then) the first post of a thread is a bit separated from the replies, and will show up at the beginning of every page. Does this feature have to be there? I can see where others may disagree, so argument is welcome. So, I'll ask this: how many people actually like this? Does it have to be there? Not to offend Al or anything, it's just my personal opinion, and the whole thing throws me off a bit

I get along well with my job, just wish they needed me a bit more (part time worker)

Best Classic Arcade Collection for Modern Consoles
spongebue replied to Room 34's topic in Classic Console Discussion
does my MAME cab count? -

Why would you want magazines filled with old men?

That searches for things in the high score threads, while searching in the 2600 forum (which is the home of HSC) or wanted inside of marketplace.

anyone? Sell or create? anyone?

ok, here's the dealio: I'm helping my teacher with a mame cab, and the only cab we can find is one that is fully functional. We're going to have to gut it, and my teacher offered all the guts we aren't going to use (basically all of it) for partial payment. I could sell it on ebay, but I'm starting to realize that I could also make a fully functional second cabinet to go along with my MAME cab If I did make another one, it would probably be an unconventional system, maybe even a large bartop or something weird like that, since I'll probably have a hard time getting a real cab.

yeah, and now MySQL is down... no forums

Hello, I'm helping someone out with making a MAME cab, but we need to start by getting a cabinet. Also, this needs to be cheap. Because of this, I'm looking for anyone in MN with an upright cabinet they want to sell. I know there aren't very many people in the area here, but it's worth a try, I'd say. Suggestions are welcome as well PM me with any info. Thanks, spongebue Edit: my apologies to the mod who had to move this to the wanted forum... I don't post in the marketplace often, so I forget we have one

Si alguien le gustaria saber, estan aqui. Desunfortunalamente, creia que "estimado" significa "feliz" o algo diferente ("happy" or "pleased") Pues, el padre (soy catolico) no tenia una idea que hable. Fortunalmente, dije a alguien bilingue que queria hablar, y me dijo que debi hablar. Hoy, los vi (como se dice "again?") y le hablo que aprendi que hablo, y me siento tonto. El sonreio (creo que es la palabra) Por la noche, hablamos espanol mas, y yo no tenia una problema mejor (pero, me gustaria si ellos hablan mas lento)
