  1. SSHD. A technology that is go-nowhere despite continued pressure from dumb marketing departments.

      ChildOfCv

      And here I thought you were talking about the SSH Daemon ;)

      An SSHD has a limited window of usefulness when solid state drives were expensive. Now I don't see the point. SSHD are still made?

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      Absolutely yes they are made. Any tech marketing can shove your ass they will.

  2. Standard Apple II+ 16K cards can now move for $150 on ebay!

      What isn't going high on ePay anymore? Seems if you want it, it's suddenly going high on ePay.

      Mockingboards are fairly pricey too, but worth it. Just a shame they did not get much software support. If only Apple had embraced them and/or incorporated the design into the later machines... a missed opportunity of epic proportions.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      Yes, and the boards are rather simple in design too.

      Keatah

      Iwantgames:)

      Yeah sad to hear, science lost a great one :( but Im sure he was happy to live alot longer longer than he was originally told he would

      DZ-Jay

      He did want to learn the mind of God... so perhaps he'll get his chance now. Godspeed, Mr. Hawkins.

  6. Still gloating over last week's upgrade to office 2003 sp3. Slikkr'n'shit!

  7. Still playing VCS and watching the RVGS story develop.

    1. Keatah

      Keatah

      It's turned into some kind of bastardized mini-series or something. VCS is still more fun.

  8. Still pleased with the amount of options and customizations in GZDOOM. And to reiterate, it's like how we imagined Doom would be on a supercomputer.

  9. Still trying to get wife to sign up at AA.

    1. Keatah

      Keatah

      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.

    2. BassGuitari

      BassGuitari

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

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      Still has one left.

  10. Stop frying your games. It's an electrical storm worse than Tempest. Whoever started promoting this as a way to find "easter-eggs" is a dumkopf. You're just setting up conditions inside the circuitry where transistors are set to a random state and causing bus contention by battling against one another for control of an address or data line. And overheating in the process.

      I used to pull parts out of my Apple II when it was running. And then put them back in. Hoping to capture ghosts and erratic behavior like when HAL got deactivated.

    2. BurritoBeans

      BurritoBeans

      Frying the carts doesn't seem good so I only do it with stella. And pulling out the card when it was on? I pulled a Videx Videoterm out of the II+ ten seconds after I powered it off and unplugged the power cable and the thing popped and smoked.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      The way you fry cartridges in an emulator is to randomly flip bits in the rom, or do something in the debugger when its running. You never know what will happen. One time I got a second set of flippers in video pinball. wish I woulda saved the rom.

  18. Suck your suckers! Tin your tips!! Corral your Daughters!!! It's National Soldering Iron Day! Celebrating one of the most feared and overlooked tool in the technician's toolbox. A tool vital to maintaining Classic Computers and Consoles.

    1. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      I even heard from a friend about someone else whom accidentally touched his tongue with a hot soldering iron.

    2. derFunkenstein

      derFunkenstein

      Dude don't lick the soldering iron to get off the molten solder that's stuck to the tip.

       

      I'm still waiting on desoldering braid/pump to arrive, so no battery replacement tonight. Instead, I bridged the solder point and TSOP-flashed my OG Xbox.

  19. Sucking out the middle of my Combos.

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      They should really sell that cheese filling in a tube. Just like the cream from the middle of Oreo cookies.

    2. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      Combos are great, some of the flavors are hard to find, but the Pizzeria ones are my fav.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      I wonder if I could stick the cheese-whizz nozzle in the hole and blow it out?

  20. Summertime is around the corner. And it's amazing how refreshing a classic computer (II+ for me) can seem if you're trying new never-before-played-software for the first time.

  21. Super foggy out right now. Time to scan eBay and do emulators! New WinUAE is out too.

    1. RamrodHare

      RamrodHare

      Is that any relation to the Stack Computers Paintbox for Atari 8-bits?

    2. Keatah

      Keatah
