Well, at the very least, if I am involved in any transactions that generate from over there, I will try to move those conversations over here or into some other pipeline, rather than wondering when the comms lines might go down next. Unreliable. I experienced it myself recently in the longer...

Look for Jeff from Boise and the treasure Valley vintage computing club!

Yeah, sure enough. Just tried to log on now and nuttin'.

Saw that. I think I like the size I just got, so not sad I didn't wait.

Came in last night, up and running! All very new to me. I do have an Atari joystick I can use so will explore when I have time. Have to get back to work now. Was just glad that was so easy to set up on a quick work break. Will get a properly size/ratio screen down the road. Not worried...

Bumping this as I have two monitors to fix due to hinge failure, and another which is not broken, but I need to tighten the hinge as it splays out fully. Just marking this for myself.

Oh, and also I have sourced my video card (one for each of my machines) and one accelerator card.

Getting slowly closer. Confirmed a person nearby (also a forum member here) who has a donor board for me, and more than one local person who can help me with the harder stuff. Still a ways off from lift off on the project, but putting things together.

Thanks for that. Helps with understanding, and @JDW , @ClassicHasClass and @joethezombie. This also helps me prioritize exploring these other things on my Apple IIe, (which someday I hope to figure out how to mod into a Stealth GS as well) and perhaps using the C64 more for what it does more...

Well, mine shows up Saturday it looks like so I will start exploring sometime next weekend. Sorry about the ADHD one more thought multi-posts

And also, I have aesthetics mattered to me also, once I saw them. Maybe too much to the extent I never really learned much about diving below the aesthetics and :GUI. But I was not even that much of a gamer back then, and still now mostly, though I want to go back and mess around with the...

^^ this last. I have always been a GUI guy once they existed, since 1984. I mean, I did DOS if I HAD to, but… and even I have an interest in this C64 thing and have ordered one, to mess with and learn a little of what I skipped out back in the day once the Mac launched.

Thanks for that. Will also follow your Powerbook repair series with interest. Off topic, but I have a couple/few 3400c’s and Kanga’s in various states of repair, one 3400c fully currently working, that I want to repair as much as I can and have at least two working examples. Will go look for...

As a result of our recent vintage computer show in Boise, in which I took part, I ended up ordering one of these and am quite excited about it. I particularly like the idea of the spiral bound instruction book that will remind me how to do Basic, and how to use that machine. Other than doing...

Our Boise event, inaugural for the new group, went very well! Apple II, Macintosh of various eras, Commodore of various iterations and eras, Amiga, Atari, and IBM-PC were all represented. For a couple/few hours, almost all displays/stations were occupied, and the flow was pretty consistent for...
