Yup, for an apple. Christies had one trade hands at near 350,000. IIRC..

The cult of Apple lives.. guess it would be a good way to make money, people really will collect anything

at 18 responses I figured I'd make a thread already.

I expected this thread coming, some things are predictable lol

I was an early adopter of DVD players (back when they cost 1200 German Marks) and I still feel my choice was right. The player (Sony DVD-S525D) still works.

Not going to lie.... I just had to Google 'necropost'

poster: rise from your grave!

mod: welcome to your doom!

We need a moderator in the Intellivision forum. Necroposts hardly happen because virtually every day we get a new post on the same topic, sometimes two or three! It's like people confuse the "create topic" and "reply" buttons. Jeesh.

I highly doubt he's on NintendoAge. They wouldn't take kindly to his brand of uneducated bravado either.

I was with you Shawn. That thread head "lock" written on it from the 2nd sentence.

Shawn, I'd bet money that dude is on NA.

Don't get too excited about the total. Now they have to DELIVER, which is the hard part.

I'm curious about the joysticks being listed as an Indiegogo exclusive...I can't buy controllers afterwards? LOL

I realize the statement "before" the Big Bang may or may not be meaningless depending on if time started with the big bang or not. Better to just ask whether the void is fundamental to a theoretical non-space time matrix or non-space matrix. I call it a matrix because its nature is incomprehensible except mathematically. Thought I would avoid you having to explain "there may not be a 'before' the big bang" business, which I know about, but still fall into the trap sometimes. I read about a theory in Discover or Sci Am once about the big bang resulting from two other universes bouncing off each other and who knows what the speed limit is in that scenario. It's interesting to think about if we may be on a collision course with another universe and how quickly that would affect us in our little corner of it.

I think that to define space-time we're going to need to start with understanding forces and why and how particles can attract or repel each other. That's a whole other discussion. Perhaps someone wants to copy/paste all this into a thread and we continue there.

Copied it into a thread:

not sure I understand the demand but people will collect most anything.

I had to scrap several consoles, too, in order to have comfortable room for enjoyment of my original childhood units. Was surprisingly hard to find anyone that wanted them!

yeah, sometimes it seems things change as far as collectibles go, I need to pay more attention. I see original 84 macs gor pretty well but mac se not so much,I have 1 of each but no kb's...

Anybody mind if I copy/paste this into a thread?

You can allow Android apps from outside the Play store to be installed. iPhones and iPads... crap. Owned them both, several versions. Gave up on them. Try JXD's products, if you're a gamer. Not only that, but just fantastic tablets on their own outside of gaming.

made a thread in the computers science technology sub-forum

There's "Floppy Disk Emu" from bigmessowires. But I heard of some quality issues. So buy at your own risk.

Isn't the relation between CFFA3000 and cheaper options similar to the one between 1541 Ultimate and its cheaper options?

Don't know much about the 1541 ultimate or competitors.

Car technology like ESC and the new fancy automatic transmissions have evolved far beyond the ability of any human driver. I for one embrace this useful and advanced technology.

Grammar correction -- Ford + GM = crap.

Now we're splitting hairs.. That's a mathematical formula.

(Just a current event, mind you)

After *something*, which I believe was Chik Fil A oriented, a group of weirdos around here set up signs about heritage, values, and family, and had giant "Honk if you love God" signs and would try to get people to honk as they drove by etc.,   Meanwhile,  nearer the Capitol, a bigger group (of all white people, just for the record) set up a Black Lives Matter group with IMO a much better message...Trying to actually affect social change, not just ram a "message" down people's throats...

Some people have been trying to get me to go eat at Lucifer's Canniburger Hut. They say their adrenochrome milkshakes are to die for.

^ They are!   I eat there all the time!

BillyHW: The problem with being someone who cares about the details is there need to be enough of you to get a manufacturer's attention.

I think the new HDR displays do a good job of having enough contrast for Asteroids' blooming effects.

The bigger problem with manufacturers is getting them to spend the necessary R&D money, and the stocking the necessary parts, spending time to change the software. That's a LOT of work.

Apple had 8 slots and all ICs were socketed. Commodore had the UserPort + cart + serial bus. Atari had cartridges and the SIO port. TRS-80 had an expansion box and later models had some slots.

@GoldLeader I'm not sure what you mean by making a game without having to program it. You mean something that could interpret like a plain text description of a game or something? Personally I have been enjoying learning GML (the scripting language in GameMaker Studio 2). Of course it's not as optimized as a low-level language but PCs are so powerful nowadays. I'm coming at it from the background of an artist who thought coding was just always going to be impossible. It's really cool, though, and I get that feeling of 'this is magic.' Declaring variables out of thin air and they instantly do what I want. (well... after I mess up several times and then finally figure out how to really do what I want!)

^Well, I'm probably just a young man yelling at a cloud for now (Ignore me)...Lessee,  Mario Maker seems fun.  It's for a Console.  Let's say I did want to play a video game with a mouse /keyboard, (Oh God No!  Why would I want  that?), let's say I love sitting 15 inches away from a screen, don't care about controls, and want to interact with people online while I'm playing....OK I want a full NONE of those things, but for the sake of argument, IF my PC had some designation (Say it was called a PC7) then I'd assume Any Cart/Disc/Download that said PC7 would work on it...Hold Up.  Then it would be a Console!  Did that make sense?  Actually playing a computer game now is nothing like that, Nothing convenient, nor simple, nor easy...But for what us old timers used to call "programs", (even those of us who used to program (code, if you will) Including myself (But I haven't done it in years),  Is there any Easy way to make a game?  I haven't heard of any...There is RPG Maker (for a Console) and Mario Maker...Anyhow if a "Game Maker" program was available so I could make an Atari Game, using the power of a computer, That would be Awesome!  (Also, a decent recording studio program would rock too, but everything used to be too complicated (That one has probably changed, a bit out of the loop really)...

 (So it was a twofold complaint,  Programs don't exist that I want to exist, and playing games on modern computers suck IMHO)

Nasty.

Thanks for all the great info haha...

"Loads" of fun, isn't it?

Atari Video Pinball For The Win!

I need to get a video pinball console... I'm holding out for when my pong machine is up and running again!

If that's true, why aren't eBay prices dropping?

Guys, guys. We still haven't answered the question: More pitfall or yar's revenge?

HAHAHAHA!

I'll just say it...Pitfall! ... oh wait Yar's!! No...ARRRRGGGG!!!!!!

Your entire collection?

THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS

I hope I am top bid.

That's $1,500,000 for a download of the original Super Mario Bros.....

Even the Big N wasn't that stingly with digital copies!

I'm bidding THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS and a half-eaten tuna salad sandwich, but only at the very last possible moment so that I can snipe the entire collection from Mikebloke.

Once that happens, I shall release a video in which I rub the collection all over my body whilst cackling maniacally and twirling the ends of my nefarious-looking moustache*.

* Video release may be delayed while I grow the nefarious-looking moustache.  If I get bored and decide that I don't care, it may never happen.  Also, I reserve the right to finish the tuna salad sandwich if I feel like it.

Mullet, you missed a wild card you can place anywhere: "school voucher." What did you win?

Every parent loves me and every kid hates me for showing the neighborhood how to use Screen Time in ios12. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-use-screen-time-ios-12/

These parents do anything to avoid seeing their kids cry or get upset.

I filed a bug report for Liberator some 15-odd years ago. I did my deed! Now it's time to sit back and watch everyone else make M.A.M.E. better, one game at a time.

@GoldLeader

As long as the planets are turnin'

As long as the stars are burnin'

As long as your dreams are comin' true

You better believe it!

That he (Meatloaf) would file many bug reports!

And you know it's true and that's a fact.

@Keatah

But I'll never forgive myself if you don't file that report...tonight.

She has a PC with emulators on them. One I built. But she ain't into it like I am. It's a way to play the occasional game.

She rocks a Model II, doesn't she? We could use more of that around here!

Still has one left.

DO YOU get discounts on Bowling? That's what I thought.

Come to think of it we also got 2 coupons for 25 cent tokens at Time Out every month! 2 games of Astro Blaster, Space Panic, Rip Off, Zero Hour, Phoenix, or Star Castle? Not too Shabby

^ Just for braving the snow drifts on a 10-speed every day after getting up at 5AM!

The camerawork is a little on the fast side. And not enough slow moments, like com officer shots..

I haven't even watched any of it yet. I'd rather watch the original series and the animated version.

Thought I saw the word corn officer shots...haha...

MEHBox? Valued Workhorse? Haha...I believe Keatah and Flojomojo really have a way with words (Totally Serious).

overclocked q9600. still working fine for me

No idea. It's a "Dell Precision T3500 Tower Computer Workstation" that had been used as a web-server...

It's on my list of things to do. I have patched only my mainline rig as of today.

mine was patched in march wtf are you guys doing out there!

XP is so resilient it doesn't need patches!

I use a 13" 2012 MBP and it's great. Not sure about the new models though...

I'm looking to upgrade my 2009 plastic white MacBook, but am not impressed by the new models. Sigh.

I would get one ...so long as it's with someone else's money. I'm a big Apple fan, and I don't have a personal Mac at home anymore. I thought you were a Windows dude all the way down, and didn't want to learn something new?
