I don't know if many people here knew @Airshack a member here, or Sparkdrummer who hung out on Atariage. They were friends and the two members of the Valley of the Sun TI Users Group in Arizona and both were very active TI-99/4A users. Anyway Sparkdrummer the author of Yesterday's News (A TI newsletter) passed away on the 19th. I was lucky enough to meet him and @Airshack at the 2016 Fest West and knew them both to be great people. It saddens me to see so many TI Users pass away over the past few years, as well as seeing many living ones depart the TI community for various reasons. I would truly like to see the remaining ones come together and circle the wagons (so to speak). Without a vibrant community of like minded and positive individuals, some will slip away and the loss to the community can lead to an ever increasing decrease in the user base, which appears to me to have already started, based on the amount of traffic that has declined on various sites over the past three years.

I recently accessed the deepai.org website to generate this FREE picture... I noticed from my log afterwards that it tried to access my PayPal data. If I remember correctly it was a FREE image generation while NOT signed in, and the PayPal screen did not pop up. So be careful.

I never owned one, but it proved to me that old saying about some people and their money.

The one I had didn't feed the strip very well.

I'll keep this in mind for future reference. 🙂

I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but if some of you are, the following may be of interest... https://bookoutlet.com/products/9780857333728B/imperial-death-star-ds1-orbital-battle-station-owners-workshop-manual

Try this! It's a nice tight fit and if you do bump it, the cable is much more flexible (out the back).

Thanks, now I have this sudden urge to watch Revenge of the Nerds!

That really is an awesome image.

I don't normally post "Reaction Videos", but I really want you guys too see the talent this kid has. Mind you this kid is only 14 years old, but plays better than most adults. In fact she's sat in with many professional bands and on some school nights actually frequents Whisky A Go Go where she gets up on the stage with musicians she's never met to play live music.

Name : Omega-TI User Group: None (Hang at ATARI.IO) History : Seven year first run, 21 year gap, 13 years and counting on the second run. Picking stuff up as I please.

@CrossBow it's really too bad that most other companies/technicians now days do not perform their jobs with as much diligence and integrity as you. You sir, are the only person I will recommend in the future if I meet anyone that needs or wants an upgrade or repair on their classic Atari units. You always seem go above and beyond and exceed expectations. I know my 5200 experience with you was awesome.

I saw that one, but I already had the one below over my toilet...

After buying and downsizing into my retirement condo, I realized I still have too many "backup" TI consoles. In an attempt to find room in the closet, I decided to put one in a display cabinet using some custom 3D printed stands. But now, as you can see, the lighting makes every micro scratch look even worse. Argh!

Can anyone say sink hole?

Above ground pool after major flooding, higher than flood waters and kept clean by chlorine.

Thanks for posting this. Less that 8 minutes until it starts (at time of my posting). That's enough time to make a sandwich and coffee.

Oh man, that's freaking awesome! I like it so much I turned it into a 3D night light lithophane. https://www.printables.com/model/814336-colonial-vipers-battlestar-galactica-in-earths-atm
