Trontabulous!  Nice stuff!!

27952.  Yes, as greenween says it's really hard on the thumb. 
 
 

I've got an extra TI when you are ready.  We'll show her who's the TI master! 

I never did get into the home computers aside from the XEGS. (broken record) once we buy a house and I have space for a collection again I do plan to explore. Odd thing is my girls mom has a Ti in the basement but because we don't like each other I can't have it. HAHAHAHA

Well, Um, I kind of have one (that one) I have no use for. So, if you need or want it, it's yours!
 
PM me if you do!

OMG!  Ha ha ha.  I started opening gifts...and out comes Combat, and another Combat...and on and on!  Well played sir.  That was funny!  The Combat top center is like super pristine Combat!  I think I'll put that one in the Combat box I have.  It's treasure to me. 
 

 
 
And while it's no Combat...I did also get Genesis Marble Madness and Lynx Hydra (sealed!).  WOW!  Thanks so much to Mr and Mrs Rowsdower.  Really really nice stuff.  THANK YOU.
 

I should have said from Rowsdower70 and Mrs. Rowsdower! 

PS - very nicely wrapped!  I wish I could wrap gifts that well. 

Got my secret Santa gifts from Rowsdower70!  What do you think...should I open them now?
 
Without even opening, I will say thanks very much!  It's very exciting! 

Trontabulous!  Nice stuff!!

The prescription is more woodgrain.

Welcome.

I was doing some research for an upcoming...well, project...(more info soon!)...and I found out about this store called Minnesota Fats and an ad it ran in the Chicago Tribune that, long story short, helped Atari's lawyers out immensely. Found out that as a Trib subscriber I actually have access to digitized versions of back issues (for now)!
 
I though this was a cool find. This isn't the ad I was talking about (I did find that, too, btw), but it's still cool to see...and apparently one of their locations was not too far from where I live now! The ad I was looking for was for exactly one year later, and this same picture appeared, and the price was exactly the same too.
 

Wow!  Thank you.

M-O-O-N, that spells Welcome! 

Wonderful job, SS and AC.  I love it. 

It looks like mine is Tax Avoiders (R5) as I bought it new on clearance for $4.99 back in 1984 from Lionel Playworld.

HAHA Never Row!!!! I am starting over in building my collection after having to sell just about EVERYTHING in order to move back to Boston. I have been very very blessed this past year with a number of gifted items (mainly Sega consoles) and coming across AMAZING deals such as that SNES. I just felt the need to pay/pass it forward. That's all!!!! My video on this exchange will explain it all. Just have to wait for my gift to finish the video.   

Wonderful job, SS and AC.  I love it.
