  1. Had a bad scare last evening. My mother was doubled-over in pain and passed out. Thank God she is fine today, but last night was terrible. She arrived at the ER about 7pm last night (I arrived by car roughly a half hour after her).

     

    Boy, the quality of Hospitals today are terrible. They were severely understaffed and they were sloooow. None of us (family that attended for morale support, including myself along with my mother) didn’t get home until 5:30am the next day.

     

    Luckily her situation wasn’t serious and it was a slightly inflamed colon from eating something that didn’t agree with her.

     

    I’m up for the day with less than 3hrs of sleep under my belt. I just thank God my mother is healthy and doing well.

     

    So if you’ve sent me some private messages and I haven’t yet - please know that I will as soon as I can.

      @Charlie Cat I agree about the Hospitals, Anthony. Apparently a lot of medical workers quit their jobs during the pandemic and no one wants to work in the medical field because of it, making it hard for clinics and Hospital to restaff.

       

      Whoa. 3 days? I’m happy you’re doing better. I dislike Hospitals personally, but I understand they’re sometimes necessary.

      Yup. You can tell the lack of sleep is kicking in.

  3. *Sigh* I miss the Status Updates on the Gaming Forum Index section like before. :)

  4. I’m feeling depressed this evening. It’s been 6 months since I lost my brother, my best friend in the whole world. There are days when I don’t even want to exist. Living each day is getting harder for me to do. 
     

    I miss you, bro’. I miss you so very much.

    1. ColecoGamer

      My deepest sympathies for the loss of your brother. Yes, I know my brother wouldn’t want me lost in sorrow each and every day. I do remember the good times and miss them very much. We only just lost him recently, so while I have my good days, I have others where it hits me like a freight train, you know?

      I love Garfield! My brother and I grew up watching the Garfield cartoon on television on Saturday mornings. We would sit in front of the television together, eating our lunch (sometimes macaroni and cheese or a sandwich). Good times! Thank you, Anthony, for posting these for us to read! It helps me deal with the loss of my brother, because it invokes so many wonderful (and nostalgic) childhood memories of  my brother and I together. Thank you soooo much! ☺️❤️ God bless you!!

  6. Since I’m on their mailing list, I just received an email from IE. Here’s what it says, for those who still have an interest in the Amico:

     

    Business Update

     
    I wanted to take a moment to provide an update and also extend my apologies. As you know it was my goal to communicate with you by the end of February however, over the last few weeks we started discussions with potential investors/acquirers outside of the StartEngine universe. As we continue to work with them on a deal structure and terms, it has been agreed that we maintain a "quiet period" while negotiating. The magnitude of this type of deal will invariably have an influence on our path forward but are excited about the potential of a new groups' involvement with Intellivision and will update you as soon as we are able. 
     
    Thank you for your continued support and patience.

      @Cebus Capucinis I was honestly expecting to read, ‘Sorry, we’re done with the Amico”, but seeing they found a private investor who is willing to pay $5-10 million to keep the company afloat - and probably to manufacture the Amico - raised my eyebrow.

  7. Feeling a bit depressed and sad this evening. I miss playing Diablo II on Xbox with my brother.

  8. The news media believes it important, and therefore I believe it important, for you to know that Kim Kardashian spent $100,000 getting her luxo cars repainted to match her house and nail polish.

     

    The power and intelligence to do that is remarkable. And likely beyond the means of any of us here.

  9. How do you edit a write protected file in MS-DOS? Also, what is a good MS-DOS CD-ROM driver?

    1. ColecoGamer

      ColecoGamer

      Keetah got it right (I missed his comment) I forgot the company renamed it to Total Commander some years back.

  10. Where can I find a MS-DOS utility that copies the full contents of a disk to the hard drive?

    1. ColecoGamer

      ColecoGamer

      My brother was a wiz when it came to computers. He always used a program like Windows Commander. It’s just like Directory Opus for the Amiga; it allows you to see, copy and move hidden files from a volume.

      How many years of experience did TT claim he and his colleagues had combine? Apparently none of that so-called ‘experience’ included business sense! ?

      I guess the situation is really bad. I keep thinking about all that investor money TT pissed away on opening offices BEFORE finishing the Amico. Business 101 - buying the cart before the horse never works out!!! ?

  16. Main PC crashed tonight.  I was ticked, that never happens!  Then I look at the uptime - 450 days.  Guess that's not too bad for Windows...

    That also tracks back to the day we had our breaker panel replaced so the power was off half the day!

    1. ColecoGamer

      ColecoGamer

      Unfortunately, Windows dislikes running for prolong periods of time (I’m talking from my own personal experiences here). 420 is a record! Lol I’m surprised your BillyBox didn’t sue you for excessive abuse! Lol

      Maybe they were drunk? ‘Dongle’ sounds like an idea a drunk person would come up with.

      So true, X. I’d be lying if I said things have been easy, because they haven’t. Thank you so much for caring and responding (this goes for everyone else, too).

      @KeatahThis is the part of the article that intrigued me the most:

       

      “If I have a licensed title and I’m paying huge licensing fees, I can’t do it at a certain price point. The [maximum] price [of games when] we ship day one will be $9.99 digitally, but you’ll see some licensed titles and others that are higher end, what we consider AAA titles, that will go at a higher price point.”

      Thank you, Charlie. You and everyone else here mean the world to me. AA feels like one big, giant family to me. Thank you all again for your well wishes, kindness and love. This morning was real bad for me. My brother would always make me a cup of coffee in the morning, and we would always hug each other. I miss him so deeply and dearly..

  24. We lost my brother today. I’m devastated. He was (and is, and always be) my best friend. We were like two peas in a pod. I remember us sitting in front of a giant, wooden  Sylvania tv, and playing Atari Smurfs together, and him gleefully grabbing the second controller of the Intellivision, and deliberately killing my guy off in AD&D. He thought it was funny to have the blobs kill me guy off. Lol

    1. ColecoGamer

      ColecoGamer

      I would like to thank everyone for their well wishes. I felt compelled to mention what happened, because I wanted the good people here to know what a good, incredibly loving man he was/is. I was (and to some extent, still am) feeling lost. I had to talk about it. RIP bro’, I love you.
