Go after him Golan. There are far too many people abusing terms like NIB on eBay. Help stop the madness! :wink: By the sounds of it, the person seems reasonable so I would start out gently. If you can't get a decent refund out of it, I wouldn't hesitate to unleash some feedback.

Did anyone else notice that the FD-4000 went to the same guy that bought the $1750 PET 8296? Must be nice to have that kind of dosh to throw around on 20-30 year old computers! :shock:

Hmm... that's odd about the grey sidebars. I bought a new HD LCD TV in December and it had grey sidebars by default, however, they were configurable and black ones were only a couple of menu options away.

The line, "She likes it when you put your disk in real slow," reminds me of a screen saver a guy had at work years ago that said, "I love the way you stroke my keys."

Thanks Golan, we'd already been Pm'ing about that. I offered. :) Looks like we're all meeting up at Leif's though. 4pm is good for me.

Sounds good! This should be a great time. And as Golan mentioned, if anyone is coming from Mississauga/Brampton I could pick you up - however, my car is tiny so I really only have room for 1 other comfortably. Meeting at Leif's place is fine with me - as long as it's fine with him! (Just have to dig...

I might be in too - I'd have to check with the wife of course. (Don't laugh - those that have wives know. haha) I don't know as many on this forum, but I do know Leif and Golan.

Hi All,

Just joined Denial after hearing Schema mention it a few times other places. The Vic was my first computer - around 1983 I believe but I don't remember exactly. It had been sitting dormant and keyboardless until very recently and is now just awaiting it's revival. It won't be long...
