What are you guys using for IM?
by Sean McLachlan 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

I use MSN, and I'm "el_smack_at_work(a)hotmail.com". I can load up Trillian (or whatever the current good multi-protocol IM client is) too, if everyone is on different services. Might be nice to have a more immediate way of reaching people, so post your IM contact info if you are comfortable doing so. Sean McLachlan

I know ya'll just met up a few weeks ago, but I'm going to be in town! (Hootin-n-Holler is allowed) and I was just interested if anyone wants to meet up with the lone, out of state collector? Plus, I could always use some help in getting my SWs cab to work >:) Chris

Sean what is up with the Bountiful warehouse?
by Pete Ashdown 21 Aug '05

Sean have you called our friend in Bountiful recently? When I was out at California Extreme, I overheard two Atari employees joking about Sprint 8. They claimed it was called 8 because only 8 were made. It just made me think about the two of them being held hostage in that Bountiful warehouse. It would be a real coup if we could get them out.

Dedication (and pain)

This is a little extreme. I guess it beats putting "Mother" on your arm. Too bad he didn't put INSERT COIN somewhere. http://www.rhythm.com/~tonye/tattoo/ This was on Slashdot a couple of days ago. Oh -- lunch was fun! We shouldn't wait several months before doing it again. Thanks to Sean for the marquees! And thanks to Chris for the monitor cable!

Atari Flashback 2.0
by Bert Ankrom 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I don't know if anyone else cares but Atari (infogrames) has released a new atari 2600 console. Unlike the last Atari Console release (Flashback) apparently 2.0 is true 2600 hardware on a chip instead of sorry ports of 2600 games to a famicom on a chip. I did not buy the original Flashback but I think I'm going to pick one of these up. When I sold my house I and my games Atari memoribilia has filled the space (not literally but getting close). The thing that intrigues me most about this new system is the composite video instead of the old RF technology (RF has real problems with the newer TVs) so I'll actually be able to use this on my newer tv. Also of interest is that one can hack it to use legacy cartridges. There are some that are even using the 2.0s to hack together a VCS portable. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-images/B00093DHIK/ref=cm_ciu_p dp_images_1/103-4801963-7894236?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=videogames&index=1#ga llery

It was suggested: How about the Mediteranean (sp?) Cafe at 39th & State. And I'll throw out a date: Wednesday, Aug 3rd. Who can/can't go then? Pete's probably out, I hear he's running for PTA president and it keeps him pretty busy. :) Sean McLachlan
