Caught this documentary on Netflix last week. It tells the tale of Compaq's rise to fortune by focusing on their portable units.

I quite enjoyed it, and more importantly because of it I learned this happened:

Well only a couple of sign ups so far. I'll leave this up for another week before packing it up to ship.

No way to argue the first 2. The six-pack is a no brainer, and all that Mario in one cart? Heck yeah.
Not sure about the other 2, never had any experience with either.- nosweargamer and greenween

I own it, but have never played it! I got it from a Humble Bundle, and never tried it. Looks pretty neat!

Retro Junk Box 9 will be starting soon!Sign up today if you are interested and meet the requirements below.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Here's how the Retro Junk Box works
What It Is: Someone fills a large USPS Priority Mail Flate Rate Box full of retro-related items and sends it to another member. They take out what they want, fill it back up and send it to the next person. It keeps going until it returns to the original sender.
History: The first Retro Junk Box started as a collaboration between The Retro League and Cartoon Retrocast podcasts. It has also been done by The Retroist and The Retro Junkies Network.
Who Can Participate: This is open to members in good standing who have reached Orange Status* (or successful traders with at least 50 posts here), have been a registered Atari I/O member for at least 90 days, live in the US and have been active in the forums or chats during the last month. (See your Avatar to see the fruits you have earned).
* Orange Status is mysteriously rewarded between 100 & 150 posts.
What is Required: Participants must send the box out within 3 days of getting it, pay for the postage to send it out ($18.85) and must post a photo or video of what they took out. (leave the rest as a mystery!)
Items Taken Out MUST Be Replaced With Items Of Equal Or Greater Value: The Retro Junk Box celebrates the generous and friendly spirit of the forums! Those who participate will be expected to contribute to the spirit of the Retro Junk Box, and must replenish the box with items of an equal or greater value than what they chose to take out.
Those who abuse the generosity of other participants will be denied the opportunity of participating again. Egregious violations will result in the offending member losing prize and event participation privileges, or worse, being removed from the site.
Other Notes: Since it is free to do so with Priority Mail, I would insure the box for $50 to help pay to fill another one in the unlikely event that the USPS ever lost it. Please keep the box mostly (at least 51%) gaming related. Newer items are ok if they are retro related in some way. Please try to be fair in what you replace value wise and please no duplicate games on the same system. Please avoid putting in broken items/games if possible. Please use packing material to fill in nooks and crannies to prevent items from getting broken. (Plastic bags work good for this)
Feel free to reuse and decorate the box!
If you meet the requirements and agree to the terms, please let me know by responding to the thread along with what state you are located in so we can begin to order the list. DO NOT POST YOUR FULL ADDRESS HERE
Also, if you need to be on a certain spot on the list, because you won't be available later, let us know (for instance, if you are going on a trip or work assignment).- MalakZero, Lost Dragon, StormSurge and 7 others

As most of you know, the Mrs and I piddle around with selling games and game related crafts for quite some time.
Well, we've decided to take the next step. We're going to the County Clerk this week to register a DBA form for our new business, and we are rebranding from The Nerdery of Southeast Texas to....
The Game Czar
"Where the Games Are"
I am hiring a friend who is a talented graphic artist to give us a logo and banner art to work with, and we've signed on for Retropalooza V in Dallas (the big one).
It's a big step, and I'm nervous and excited.
My experience at Atari.IO over the past couple of years has definitely expanded my desire to make this work in some capacity, so thank you guys.
Good thoughts and prayers are appreciated!

Watched Beverly Hills Cop this week.
I think Pinchot broke out and was discovered in that small role as a major comedy character actor and went on to Perfect Strangers shortly after.
It's good to see them like this, today.
True, there were some fun, goofy TV comedies on those days.
Espresso with a little leemon tweeest!

Quality.
Atari consoles were built pretty tough. Rarely do I find them when they can't be salvaged. However, Wii or XBox360 consoles are already iffy if you find them in the wild.
That being said, the Jaguar CD is one of the most unreliable things ever made!
