Sweet Jesus!

I could go for this if I...
Wonderful! Annoying!
I had that spinning digitised cat demo. Never seen it on the web though.
There was another one, not featured in this: a knight wielding a sword.
The winning bid: €6,060.00
Sweet Jesus!
I've got Connect 4, Twister and Cribbage (the sport of kings!), and my parents will come over and spend the whole day doting on my kids.
What is it with septuagenarians? You'd think they didn't...
ur not the messiah, ur a very naughty boy!
€3,280.00
Whatever it goes for, I really hope the buyer will actually USE it - program it, push it's hardware to the limit and show us what it can do....
Sure. Here's the text. There's a YouTube vid and some photos too.
The C65 (aka C64DX)
was designed as successor of the famous 64. Unfortunately it suffered from important issues like...
Up yours! I've been a saint. Although with 7 days left and the current bid at 2,500 Euros, I think I'd have to win the lottery to be able to afford it.
Maybe we should open do a sweepstake on how...
Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year.
Please?
Many low-end laptops come with 6-cell li-on batteries with a life of 2 - 3 hours.
Does anyone know if it is possible to swap out the lesser 6-cell and put in a better one with a longer life?
Thanks for the tip on Leopard Outlawal2. I have a 1.6GHz Rev A G5 iMac with 512MB RAM, so I think it might struggle with Leopard!
So a final plea: if anyone sees a retail (black box and discs)...
It's no secret that Apple ripped off Xerox, or that MS borrowed some of Apple's GUI ideas. Did these giants ever borrow any Amiga GUI concepts?
One thing is for sure: OS X and Windows are...
Thank you both. After seeing the trailer I wasn't sure whether to go and see it, but I think I will (if it is still on). My wife took my daughter to see 'Up 3D' the other day so I think I deserve a...
I haven't seen anything of Windows 7 yet. It'll probably take 10 years for the company I work for to upgrade from XP (and IE6). Good to hear drag-and-drop is better supported - I'm a big fan.
P G,...
I haven't used Leopard, I'm still on Panther. I switched from XP to OS X 5 years ago and I do prefer using it day-to-day. As Harrison said, emulation isn't as good as what you can get for XP, and...
Happy Birthday Ghost. I also wanted to see District 9 but never got around to it. Was it good (for a Peter Jackson film)?
You might find these service manuals handy if you have any problems with the Commodore hardware: http://www.devili.iki.fi/Computers/Commodore/
Buleste - I assume you can't just swap out the 8580...
I can't believe someone dumped all those goodies on Freecycle! You lucky git. As Harrison and Buleste have said, the 1541 disk drive is a real find. I gave up bidding for them on eBay and ended up...
Who saw Micro Men on BBC4, then? Fantastic. I especially liked the way they mixed in the archive footage.
I'd heard that Sinclair was a bit tyrannical, but not to the extent he was portrayed in...
I think that's a phrase I would need to employ quite often.
You know what's really depressing? LOL and ROFL are in the English dictionary. I should have been French...
Harrison, you forgot to mention BBC4, undoubtedly the best digital channel. In the last couple of months it has shown a documentary on Hunter S. Thompson, shed-loads of Beatles stuff, Jonathan...
I seem to have lost ITV4 (the man's channel), but gained ITV2+1 (the ladies' channel).
It's sort of like having your tonsils removed and an extra appendix put in - neither are pre-requisites for...
Oh yes, I remember the board game. In fact a friend still has it and we even dust it off for a game about once a year. I'm surprised it's taken this long for the official game to be released. I like...
I used to use a great little program called MailWasher (on XP). It would go and see what was sitting on the mail server at the ISP, then you could select the spam emails and 'bounce' them back to the...
I don't get any at my ISP's email address or my googlemail one. I have seen an increase at work though. Our work spam filters always trap the profane ones, but recently it has been letting through...
