Really is nice to sit and thumb through the pages Bryce when ever my friend and I had a disagreement on a subject he would run to the paper google book shelf
So true demolition how ever heavy you think they are it's more believe me

I haven't checked them out in a loooong time, but I seem to remember that my parents had a few extra "Childrens Encyclopedia" books as part of the set, but they may have been an additional option.

I have 2 science future books also with the set:
And 2 index book's which have over 400.000 references.

A little bit different, but after what seems like an age waiting for BT to get their act together, I finally got my FTTC connection up and running.
7 days stable without any dropouts and holding maximum sync speed too

WiiU Premium. Came up on Facebook Marketplace near me for £<Snip>. Now fully modded with two 1TB USB HDD's containing a backup of pretty much everything Nintendo I ever owned since NES. Just invested in a USB->GameCube adapter so I can use the GameCube controller with Nintendont

Received a MechBoard64 today (mechanical C64 keyboard). Feels very nice and sturdy. Very professionally made. I just need to figure out which keycaps I want to use with it. I backed the IndieGoGo keycap campaign years ago, but I have lost hope that it will ever result in anything.

Found this curious looking keyboard locally, I can't really identify it, but it's fully PS2-compatible and feels like it's at least partially mechanical. Looks kind of like Model M, but it's much lighter and without detachable cable. The type is KPQ-E99YC.
It's from one of the Commodore line of PC compatible clones

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. It has switches based on rubber sleeves not mechanical ones.

I have a Philips branded keyboard that looks just like this one. I haven't checked whether the model number is the same though (Philips is not mentioned in that wiki).
Although it is a rubber dome keyboard, it is still a pretty decent typer.

Well, despite some major sleeping issues (I used to work late-evenings/nights because of them), I managed to drag myself out to do a thrift shop run (and partly to force myself to stay awake, to attempt to force myself back to some semblance of 'normalcy')

With some assistance from RuneRider, I have finally managed to procure a functioning Atari 5200.
Along with the 5200 I received a Trak-Ball controller which needs a little work (the buttons all appear to work fine, but the roller has issues, the bottom row of pins on the connector were a little mangled, and are among the connections which control the pots (9-11), and/or the roller ball rollers/contacts may need fixing)
as well as a bunch of carts:
Centipede
Super Breakout
Pengo
Pac-Man
Pole Position
Jungle Hunt
Joust
Vanguard
Q*Bert
Popeye
James Bond 007 (non-functioning)
I will have to track down a couple of working (or fixable) controllers (hopefully for a reasonable price)

Today I received a BeBox.
I found a post on Reddit of someone looking to sell theirs at a cheap price, as long as it would go to a good home. The post was 3 years old, and had a bunch of replies, but I figured I'd follow up anyway. I really wanted a BeBox. It turned out the owner still had it. He lived in a small town in France, and would only take IBAN. I've sent IBAN twice in my life, and each time my bank calls me and gives me a lecture about buying stuff from people I don't know... So there was a little more of a struggle to use it this time around. US should really adopt the standard.
It took a month and a half to get the transfer done, the package picked up from the small town, and it shipped to me, but it all arrived in one piece!
I also got some components for my Amiga 3000T project - new kickstart roms, new classic os, fastata card, network card, and bigram plus (which nobody needs).
