MEtalGuy66 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Yes you did. By showing a picture of your offending dust cover, you are taunting ST owners by saying they are inferior. I did not.. I Alluded to the fact that the AMIGA was the platform that was designed to directly succeed the ATARI 8-bit. As far as what was printed on the Dust cover, that's my preference and business and I have every right to post a picture of it in a thread that I started, for the purpose of showing samples of a product for the benefits of others who may want to have somethinbg similar made. You guys have the ability to keep your mouth shut if its not something you like. So what if it's an 8-bit subforum? Or any subforum for that matter? You don't think there are any ST enthusiasts who are also 8-bit enthusiasts too? You really think Atari owners are clearly divided between the 8-bit side and the ST sides? You really think one can only like one or the other? Well, I have news for you. I (and many other forum members) enjoy ALL my Ataris. Apparently you can't handle the truth that people can enjoy multiple products whether they are Ataris or not. When posting anything on any public forum, you should be mindful of other people's feelings and not just yours. Well, you're right. I dont personally give a damn about your feelings.. And I am not liable for them either. If I attack you directly, or issue some kind of profane or unfair statement towards you personally, then I am in violation of the rules of this forum. Otherwise, be a man, suck it up, and if you wanna whine about it publicly, start your own thread rather than trashing out this one.. Noone cares.. I don't think anyone is "divided" in any sort of manner. I dont know where you get that crap. My only point is that this is NOT the ST forum.. So if you wanna go somewhere that people will for sure share your point of view, go in there.. I could have posted that picture just as easily in the ST forum, but I didnt. Yes you do. Really? Looks to me like every single damn statement I made was SUPPORTING the guy who posted the thread.. Rather than whining about it which you are doing here. I don't see a single instance where an ST user posted something, and I went in there and made smart-assed comments about it, trying to start a flame-war. I happen to like smash-up videos. I think it's great. If you dont like it, I'm sorry but you shouldn't let it ruin your day. Once again, I am asking you POLITELY, to please be more respectable to other fellow AtariAge forum members in the future. We all enjoy using different products and insulting them only makes you an insecure immature bully who doesn't respect other people who are not like you. We are all adults here (at least I am). Once again. I did not INSULT anyone, or any product. If you don't like my dust cover, don't look at it. If you feel "bullied" by someone on a web forum, then YOU are the one with security issues.. Now I'm gonna politely ask you (and anyone else who wants to continue this train of useless debate) to do so privately. I will be more than happy to explain this to you as many times/ways as you want in a private message. Please do not continue to trash this thread out with crap. Noone in here cares, and it's annoying as hell to have to sift through this garbage to find the posts which actually pertain to the subject of the thread. Not only that, it attracts "Jokers" who find it humerous to interject even more off-topic posts trying to instigate.. Now PLEASE, PM me with any response you have to this message. I really will debate it to your satisfaction, I promise. Leave this thread for those who want to pose questions/comments regarding the Dust Covers.

Slor Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I bought one of the covers off eBay for a 130XE some time ago. It works, but it's thin and entirely the wrong colour (brown and beige). I need something cat-proof. These covers look good, and I watch with interest. Could be interested in grey for the XE, plus an XF and 600XL cover if they become available. They're available. Updated last night: http://www.slor.net/a8/covers.html FYI - My wife is machine-agnostic. She has equally little use for all the platforms...

MEtalGuy66 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey I was thinking (dangerous,I know).. Since these dust covers fit so snug, and they are already being made with "reliefs" in appropriate places for all the ports, would it be possible to make one that also has finished "cutouts" for the keyboard, function keys, and cart slot? Basically an ATARI "bra"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamer320i Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Bump-o-rama! Just received my dust cover today for my Atari 1200XL, one word - QUALITY!

+DarkLord Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Measurements have been taken for all the systems I happen to own at the moment, and my wife has provided me with a list of prices for them. You can find the info here: http://www.slor.net/a8/covers.html If you happen to be interested in something for a machine you don't see listed there, just drop me a line and we'll see if I can get ahold of one. Thanks! James Hey James. Was wondering if you can do one for my STacy? I'd like to have one for it when its sitting out. When we can get that worked out, I also want to order the 800XL cover as well. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Guitarman Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My girlfriend and I have one of those computer embroidery machines. Of course, I do all the digitizing on the computer and have ended up being the one who always gets stuck doing the embroidery!! LOL The rainbow thread, when it is embroidered, looks really cool. Here's a couple of examples of what the thread can look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I finally (mostly ) finished my STacy project so I ordered a cover from Slor's wife. Got it in today and like everyone else, I agree that the quality is top notch. Well worth the money, IMHO. After all, this puppy deserves a good cover when its sitting out, and not on the road with me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Smart looking! These are quality dust covers. I got one for my 1200XL, and they're worth every penny. Hope to get some more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slor Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Considering she had to make this one blind (i.e. no real STacy to test-fit), I reckon it came out pretty good. I expect the shipping folds will disappear after a little while as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
