Probably depends on the area. I see nice once go for less than that all the time on ebay. Do I see them go for more? Sure. It's just like anything else, whatever someone is willing to pay. But I sure wouldn't go back and try to give more once a deal has been made. And if the real point was asking fo...

To me, $80 for what you listed is more than enough. A little high even. Certainly more than I'd pay. What the heck is the problem?

Couldn't agree more. As nice as "free" sounds, it's usually not truly "free" for anyone.

Wow, I would really love to have that. I don't think I can justify yet another drive around here. It's a beauty though!

I've used godaddy.com for about five years now and I've always been impressed with their service, prices, and friendliness. Never had a single minor issue in 5 years. Very easy to use site management features as well, and I haven't had a domain hijacked from them like I did from the previous host I ...

It sounds like you had a blast! I definitely need to stop in there sometime. He may have my missing 1984 Gazettes!

Jeff, I'm sure others may disagree, but I finally visited the Mall of America about a year ago and was a bit disappointed. Sure, it's a really big mall. You'll probably never see a bigger one, but that's really about all it is. I was most impressed with the outside, which reminded me of an airport. ...

For someone who knows the place: any way to get from the Mall of America (next to which my hotel is located) to Downtown St Paul? - I mean, apart from Taxi. I've never been there, and google maps says Raymond Av is almost 10 miles far from the hotel; a little too much to go walking 8) . The Twin Ci...

I live about 5 hours from the Twin Cities (and grew up there), and visit on occasion. Next time I'm there, I'll have to stop by! If this was there when I lived there, I never knew about it... too bad. When I first got my Vic in about 1983, it was already hard to get the Vic stuff as everyone had alr...

Your pictures aren't showing up for me, but I have both the old and the newer version, but sorry, they're not for sale! I didn't have any problems finding them, I'm surprised you are having trouble with it. I don't think they're particularly rare. It's available on Amazon (used): http://www.amazon.c...

Yeah, it reminds me of a colour timex sinclair. This one has a 32 column screen and a chiclet keyboard instead of a membrane one, though. Very cool! The BASIC is highly compatible with stuff in computer books / magazines from that era. I'd love to see a text adventure running on this little thing (...

That really is a neat find! I've never even heard of that computer. I just read up on it a little. It has a lot of similarities to the Timex 1000, but with color and sound. Reminds me a lot of the Timex though. I wish I had something to trade for it, but I really can't think of anything offhand. I g...

Is this one:

supposed to be a joke? It's labelled "Amiga laptop", but that really looks like a tower on its side with a small LCD on top of it!

The one from Lemon works just fine on my emu... both on the current VICEPlus (for Mac) and on Power64 (also for Mac). Well, I did download it from arnold, but I must be blind, because I looked and looked but didn't see a download for the ROM image on Lemon64 (only download for the music and box sca...
