Ack! Sorry I didn't get back to you. I've been a little more scatterbrained than usual this past week. Burning the candle at both ends and all that. I'll respond to your PM momentarily.

Right, right. Today brain not good. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it wasn't available until quite some time after the VIC had been released (at least around here). The same was true of the VICModem but that may have been due to complications with the monopolistic Canadian phone company. Nevermind. I'm goi...

An IEEE-488 interface (standard with the PET) is available as an add-on for the VIC.

I don't recall an IEEE-488 interface being available at release. Come to think about it, did they ever release it?

What I find odd about this plan is that g64 isn't perfect. Granted, it's an actual approximation of a disk but it isn't comprehensive. If they're going to be sticklers, why not come up with the say all, end all? Every few years I try MESS and delete it within a few hours. The OS X version is, well, ...

I'm willing to admit I have them but they tend to be positive in nature. Yours sounded anxiety driven.

It appears you won't have long to wait as sales have been declining. The trick is figuring out what the next trend will be or, better yet, setting it. Then you too will be worthy of knowing what's really going on with all this moon business.

He just doesn't get it. My distaste is being tempered by pity.

Sliding further into OT land, this reminds me of Handsome Pete. Aye, he'll be dancing for hours.

Actually, it never went up. For some reason the VICE team hasn't updated the VICE website and it's causing a lot of unnecessary confusion.

Only $9980 more and our our plucky leader will be cutting a rug. Bid! Bid! Bid!

What will you do if bidding exceeds $10,000? I'm thinking maybe you could pop out of one of those big cakes. Just brainstorming here.

Now if only I could dig out where I put my Data-20 80-column cart...

Going to give it to him?
