  2. My previous status update survived the day! Now I don't have to make one discussing the newly discovered Jupiter-Venus resonance that modifies Earth's orbit around the Sun every 405,000 years. Woot!

      I was here for the Resonance Modification of 402,982 B.C. It was over-hyped and overrated...

  4. Time to get out the extra blankets and pillows and dump it all into reading and media room. Winter is here. The warmth of reading and classic gaming by firelight is gonna be just fine and cozy.

  6. Original manuals that shipped with your computer. Remarkably nostalgic in a sleeper-kinda way. I bet most people are overlooking this aspect of classic computing.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      I read the onboarding materials for my Mac SE cover to cover. They assumed no technical knowledge and presented everything in a very logical way.

       

      Though I think the modern approach of Windows Help is better.

    2. BassGuitari

      Not me! I love manuals.

      I was very fortunate to find some kind souls archived and uploaded pictures, manuals, and more surrounding my first "IBM PC compatible" machine, a VTech Laser Turbo XT. Indeed, remarkable nostalgic.

  8. I was over at the in-laws earlier, and I blew this one snot. It shot out and ended up somewhere on the knick-knack table, I think. Not sure. Everytime the room was clear I conducted a search in the area. No such luck. I just know they're gonna find it next week. It was the size of a cornflake!

      You're lucky to get snow instead of ice. Neighbor's pine tree branches broke off all over the place.

      save2600

      We've had that happen before... ice gets so heavy, it literally sheers large branches right off the tree, leaving major bald spots. :-(

      I remember a time when I was a kid and I blew one. I was in school and didn't want to attract attention. So I sat there motionless and I swear the fart went back up into my ass. It had to because at the time I blowing mean ones from hot dogs with cheese and chocolate - no one looked or started sniffing or anything!

      It's pretty hobbled without jailbreaking it. More than one person I know has had iTunes blow away their shizz too. AND WHY IS IT SO DAMN HARD TO TRANSFER FILES TO A REAL COMPUTER!?!?! %^@&..

      Apple tries to make appliances. Computers are really tools. If you have a very narrow subset of needs and only want what Apple gives you then you're good.

      I had quite the complex autoexec.bat with menu options back in the day.  I couldn't even remember how to do any of it now!  I see LGR videos and just go "Oh yeah... It used to be a real PITA."

       

    3. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      I spent a lot of time with QEMM and 20 versions of autoexec.bat and config.sys. Kinda fun in a "necesarry evil" sort of way, and not not that big a deal at the time... but no more.  I don't particularly being our home's "IT guy" these days... ;-)

  17. Great that the 7800 is gaining in popularity. Maybe one day emulation for it will get the royal treatment instead of the royal flush. Thinking about toilets and stuff, you know.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      You should probably see a doctor, Keatah.

       

      7800 is nice system.

    2. CaptainBreakout

      CaptainBreakout

      I've tried all the old emulators for the 7800 and am most happy with MESS of all things.

    3. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      RetroArch also works well for 7800, just wish I can play light gun games & remap a 2nd joystick for Robotron.

  18. Space trivia: The HST suffers from a phenomenon known as desorption. This is where parts of the telescope evaporate away into space. And every year they need to adjust the optics to compensate.

    1. Keatah

      Keatah

      The replacement telescope is JWST. James Webb Space Telescope. It operates in the infra-red range. It has a multi-segmented mirror that is even more adjustable. I just hope they got all this origami folding business in the hat and that it all works once it gets on orbit..

       

    2. Keatah

      Keatah

      Most newer ground observatories are using adaptive or active optics, or a combination of both, now, and powerful image processing to come very close to what HST is doing. Within a decade, expect ground telescopes to easily exceed what HST is doing.

  19. For those that give a rat's ass, ebay has over 4,000 Apple II items for sale. Highest it's ever been. As are the prices too!

    1. Keatah

      Keatah

      It's that weird ebay paradox. You can never ever ever actually sell something at a comparatively high price unless you're somebody else - which invalidates "you" doing the selling.

       

      Or you can never sell higher than what you paid for.
       

    2. BigO

      BigO

      @OldSchoolRetroGamer, yes, there is at least one. I was looking for an APF MP1000 and found one, price reduced to $314.34.
      Used: “Works with controller and graphics issues”

      Casio was the watch brand to have in the early 80s and yes - extremely easy for the user. I had a casio I just don't remember which one.

  25. Ohh how did I miss this?!? Six Flags spiffed up the Revolution at Magic Mountain! New smoother cars and no shoulder bars. Hopefully it's true to the original that first opened in May of 1976! Rode it then and I have to make a trip to ride it now! A special treat just for me!

      Space Mountain- Whooooooooooo. Oldest ride, longest line.

      Wooden coaster or metal?

    3. Keatah

      Revolution is a metal coaster. I've ridden metal coasters that were ready to fall apart it seemed.
