😎Doing lot's of backup, optimizations and updates on all my computers being at home so much, ok I do that stuff regularly anyways but now even more so!💻🖥⌨🖱

First big snowfall of 2024 with seemingly more to follow later this week. Will get much colder by the end of the week as well.

Just a PSA for TG16 owners: posting this from elsewhere but this is not the first I have heard of this lately. Take your chip games out of their plastic sleeves. The sleeves are starting to melt/rot, ruining the games they are supposed to protect. I recently got two sealed nos games for my brother, only to discover the carts were ruined due to the rotting sleeves. The same likely applies for Sega Card games for the SG-1000 & SMS.

My wife just got back from Harmony Honda, finally getting those snow tires put on. 😜

☕️11:40pm, just on the desktop and enjoying a mug of coffee.

I am a day late but Sept 1st was Frankenstein Day!

On this day in 1797, author Mary Shelley was born. 21 years later, she published ‘Frankenstein’ anonymously and over 200 years later, we’re still celebrating Shelley and the legendary Frankenstein!

DELETED THREAD - TO BE CLEAR it was ME😎that deleted the Having a bad day Thread or whatever it was with the car crashes / accidents. We don't need that here even under the guise of a positive message of "It could be worse" those type of videos / images are not good for the vibe here on AtariIO, enough of that stuff elsewhere and those type of threads just grow and get out of hand, not the vibe we foster here on AA. I considered just deleting it and letting that be message enough but just for clarity sake as well as credit where it is due, there is nothing to add or respond to on the subject (frankly, if anyone does not like it they can lump it🤷‍♂️) I suggest it's left at that - Keep it light, fun and not at the expense of other's. 😉Have a good one folks. - Sincerely Rob. 

Garuda Linux on the DELL laptop, I really like the look of it. 😎

Took this shot just now from our balcony 😎🤷🏼‍♂️

My wife thinks it's funny when I nap at the computer.....

😎Classic 80's Vacuum florescent display tech - Loved VFD tech for displays in electronic games and stereo components and even clock radios etc. I know it was more expensive tech but it was so bright and colorful and sure maybe somewhat retina burning but nothing else looked like it, very much of it's time!

Happy Easter folks. 🐰

🤔Can't We Just Get Beyond Thunderdome?

My wife messaged me, went to one store  NO TOILET PAPER, going to another now., there was nothing said by health officials to hoard toilet paper, people are retarded and the stores, shame on them for not limiting per person! You would think it is the %!#$&ing apocalypse. I live in the Okanagan Valley here in B.C. Canada and checking stats for confirmed cases here in B.C. : British Columbia - 46 confirmed cases including: Four individuals who have recovered, as indicated by the resolution of symptoms, followed by two successive negative test results 24 hours apart. One individual who has died. 2,008 individuals and 2,803 samples tested as of March 6, 2020. That is for our entire province, I do not think anymore than 1 case confirmed here in the Okanagan Valley where we reside.

Me right now.

Sy Sperling, the founder of Hair Club for Men, who coined the once-ubiquitous tagline "I'm not only the Hair Club president but I'm also a client,” died Wednesday, his family said. He was 78.

Sperling passed away "after a lengthy illness," in Boca Raton, Florida, according to a statement from his family. After retiring in 2000, the New York businessman spent winters in Boca Raton and summers in Vancouver.

Oh poor Charlie 😛 RIP https://deadline.com/2019/12/robert-walker-jr-dies-star-trek-actor-and-son-of-hollywood-stars-was-79-1202802504/
