there pretty easy to use as you know steve,its just like using a 1541.
load"(add name here)",8 then type run hit return,basicly
is there any disks in with that lot,you jammy sod you.


dont get rid of the 64 steve when youve got a disk drive there great machines to use(cant say the same for the 1530's though too much loading and not a lot of play time)

Damn, you really hit the motherload again :-D

Just got back after a round trip to Norfolk paying a visit to my good friend Zetr0 and on the way picked up these awesome goodies

I have been saving up for a new macbook pro, but because I needed one now, and I couldn't wait anymore, I got a "temp" Macbook on friday. It was a good deal for a Mid 2009 model, basically what I see the 2006-2007 mac books go for. It's not perfect, and has been refurbished by Apple, but it was a good deal. First thing, loaded up Lion and it runs great. Because this is my "At Work" unit, and not my main machine, I opted for a 13" which I find is just the right size to lug around. Good little Photoshop unit. Yes, it has a "Keyboard condom" on it.

Thanks for the kind words guys, not lucky enough to get any Disks with the C64's but pleased that I have complete systems. I will keep at least the mint C64 as a complete setup and look at complact flash style solutions

Just picked up a mint Commodore 1084S monitor in original (slightly tatty) box.

There is very little yellowing, the front door hinge is still intact and the power button actually works.

Bonza!

iic

came across this locally, and true to form I could not resist

an apple iic
2 monitors and stands
2 mice
manuals and disks, 2 external 5.25"'s, the internal drive works and the monitor I've tried is as sharp and crisp as.. a very-sharp and crisp thing indeed.

and an applewriter ii printer. When we get back to the UK I'll have to find some printer ribbons and show the kids what real printers sound like (not daisywheels, dot matrix : ) )

Almost all of it is a quite magical shade of yellow, I may have to brave up in the summer and retrobrite it.

Nice

I just got 24 issues of the Memphis Commodore User Club Newsletters from 1988-1990. Got them off evilbay for a steal but had to preserve this part of history.

Got this fine piece for a bargain. Will have to try it out on Monkey Island on the Amiga.

 

[ShambleS1980]

I miss my c64

[nikos.rizos]

Got my hands today on the new iPad with a light gray smart cover. Really cool display and camera. Nice upgrade from the previous iPad 2 I had.

 

[dougal]

Just picked up these 2 babies from a carboot sale for less than the cost of 2 beers.

Both complete with the front panel covers and both with working power switches.

Tested them out using CVBS and also tested the newer one with RGB. The older one has a din plug for RGB which i have no cable for.

Both working fine

Not Amiga related but still a boyz toy all the same

Mrs Fitz treated me at the Ideal Home show today to a small R/C Helicopter with built in Camera, cool eh?

It's pretty tricky to fly but very clever bit of kit
