  1. Has anybody got links to galleries of back-in-the-day arcade photos? Preferably with people in them? It's a bit tricky to Google because there are current arcades advertised using the word "vintage."

  3. :mad: There's nothing more frustrating than students who blatantly CHEAT, especially after the instructor (me) goes out of his way to be available to answer questions, in and out of class, even answering e-mails late at night. :mad:

      The exact same thing has been going on for quite a while in the corporate world where they're simply afraid to fire people in general, especially people with "special protections".  It's absolutely ridiculous.

  4. I remember when you could go into any grocery store and buy ice milk, then one day it disappeared. Now I know why: "A 1994 change in United States Food and Drug Administration rules allowed ice milk to be labeled as low-fat ice cream in the United States." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_milk

  5. Somebody keeps cutting the locks on my storage unit! This is the second time it's happened. Nothing inside seems to be missing, and nothing was added, but still ... pretty disconcerting.

      Well, at least the shackle is hardened, so whoever cut it had to put quite a bit of work into it. No easy task. In any event, you might consider upgrading to something with a shrouded shackle, which will be even more difficult to cut.

      Are you sure they're being cut and not picked? What kind of locks are you using?

      atarian63: Gorf doesn't run on an 800 XL. You need an original 800 to play it.

  9. If an item is untested, as is, with no returns - why do people want top dollar? Either test it fully and ask top dollar or sell it as is for $5. Lazy and greedy is a terrible combination for an ebay seller.

  10. Alot of people is igornant and pretentious, but I could care less because I am smarter and more important than they is. http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/alot.html http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/could-care-less-versus-couldnt-care-less

      I wish someone would do a nice conversion of AB. MegaMania and Threshold are pale imitations.

      Deflection is what I was using before the change, so I'm happy to see it back. Thanks.
