amazing how fast they change! I was just thinking that! I see him a bit more often than you and everytime I see him I'm still shocked at how big he has gotten. I wouldn't be surprised if he was giving a demo at next year's World of Commodore. :) Leif: I do have a question about the VIC-20 in those ...

I'm sure there are a few VIC-20 users that are waiting for the price of the 64 to come down before they upgrade.

Check out this auction. Stop the insanity.

I find the whole craze ridiculous. I can't figure out why people are willing to pay more than retail, and as you point out, sometimes a whole lot more, for the privilege of getting something the day it comes out. I remember when the XBOX 360 came out people were paying multiples of the MSRP and a fe...

The tit-for-tat feedback system is inherently flawed and because you're limited to a single line, you can't leave a meaningful comment. The way to fix the system would be to eliminate the comments and give people a simple score. Something like x/y where y is the number of transactions a person has b...

Let me apologize in advance, this is going to be a long one. I've been holding this in for too long... I have only done four transactions on eBay (and I've been a member for 7.5 years!) and with half of my transactions ending with bad experiences, I won't be dealing with eBay again. My first two tra...

I never understood why sniping makes people so angry. He couldn't have sniped you if you had been willing to pay more than he was so didn't the auction work out as intended? If you put in the most you're willing to pay when you first make a bid you can sit back and relax. Getting swept up in the auc...

Note: Mr. Chorny's first name is Ernest (Ernie).

Who would like me to demo my 32k RAM expander? /me raises hand I think a VIC oriented demonstration would be a great addition to the schedule. There will be lots of 64 oriented stuff and as Leif said, one of his demos will feature the PET. Having an Amiga oriented demo (there was a very interesting...

I'm curious, why Color 64 v7.37? Anthony Tolle has been making improvements to Color 64 BBS (I think he calls it v8) and some of the new functions, like inter-BBS networking, are quite impressive. There might be merit in checking out Sonic Temple (sonictemple.dyndns.org:23) which is his BBS. It will...

If you don't mind my asking, have you ever managed to get the keyboard hooked up to anything? I've never seen such a keyboard before and I'm quite curious about the connector and the kind of signals it outputs.

ral-clan: There's a guy named Dustin (aka Fuzz) from Ottawa that usually comes down to the World of Commodore and I think he's coming this year too. If you could carpool to Toronto and back, do you think you could make it? Alternately, if you could take a bus or a train down I could pick you up and ...

What about Eslapion? A demo of one of his hardware projects would be quite interesting. I wonder if he would be willing...

so how do you connect to this bbs with an rr-net? Unfortunately, you can't[*] but that's kind of the point. This is an old school dial-up BBS and is not accessible via telnet. You could attach a modem to your Commodore and you'd be good to go. [*] You could by telneting to an outdial and using it t...

Sorry, I don't have any experience using a modem over a VOIP line. I wonder if newer, higher speed modems have more robust error-correcting protocols that allow them to function properly over VOIP lines whereas older modems can't. What kind of modem are you using? Are you using a C= specific dir-con...
