  1. I did. He said it was a false "machine learning" error and that he would write a ticket to Microsoft.
  2. You never know, if you have room for a bigger plate, there are already 3D printed designs available. It's also possible to modify some of those design and add a smaller graphic.
  3. When it comes to the joysticks, I like the RetroGameBoyz all-in-one joystick. It's a self centering digital unit that has knobs for centering the joystick and also has the keypad built-in so there is no need foy Y-adapter cables. The UAV modification with an HDMI adapter brings it into the 21st century for modern TV sets and it's picture quality is only something we could dream about back in the day. Now of course if you are going to go to that expense, you NEED the Atarimax cartridge to finish the setup.
  4. Nice!! That is PERFECT for a game room.
  5. ... okay, I liberated a data cable, that supplies power (USB cable) on a temporary basis and hooked it up to a temporary antenna, here is an example...
  6. Oh yeah! My new toy came... but now I have to wait two or three more days for the power cord to arrive. 😔
  7. Sometimes practical items give one a lot of pleasure. My retirement condo had new, but really lame MANUAL thermostats in each room. I gotta tell ya, manual thermostats are a drag. I installed the one shown below yesterday, so today the heat was already perfect when I got out of bed, so yeah, happy camper here. ... BUT what I've REALLY been waiting for is supposed to come in today's mail... a new TOY! Since I have the day off, it'll be fun to play!
  8. According the Amazon, I supposedly "saved" $67.17 over the last 12 months, but if I paid $179.88 (before tax), that means I paid $122.71 for essentially a few movies and some limited music streaming. I could pay for CBS all access and get that last season of Star Trek I've missed.
  9. Yeah, $35.00 X 12 months is $420.00 a year... for commercials? Nope, not gonna happen. But according to this... ... it's currently only $ 179.88 before tax. Even so, I can wait a few weeks and bundle my orders. I can still use my Alexa, but maybe not for music.
  10. Agreed! The idea of paying that much month for commercials on top of the lousy delivery service is not something I care to encourage.
  11. I don't understand this one. If I remember correctly, a kellicam is a Klingon unit of measurement.
  12. Why do I continue to pay for Amazon Prime? At least half my packages are late, so much for two day shipping! In this case they waited three days before sending it, and on the fourth day they tell me it'll be another day. I think I'm going to cancel soon. If I want to buy something small, I'll just wait until I can place an order over $25.00 to get the free shipping, because with the delays I'm paying for essentially nothing.
  13. A friend of mine wanted these images colorized and cleaned up a little for a project, so after doing so, I thought I'd share them here for anyone that might be interested having watched the Little House of the Prairie TV show as a kid. The real Ma & Pa Ingalls Laura Ingalls as a young lady. Laura Ingalls Wilder nearing middle age Laura Ingalls Wilder as an older lady.
  14. The groom needed a bow tie...
  15. My Star Trek themed den was missing a little something, so I printed up a new switchplate for the light switch.
  16. Man I really like that image, who care if it may or may not have been an artificial web. I liked it so much I decided to give that graphic the Omega Treatment.
  17. I installed and ran the new version of Tursi's Classic 99 and all went well, I then ran the Telnet program and all went well, but after I ran RXB, my computer deleted Classic 99 from the computer by itself. I thought that was odd and tried to reinstall just the classic 99 program from the ZIP and it gave me a virus warning. I'm not up enough on the culprit to determine which program started it, but I've fallen back to an older version or Classic 99 for now.
  18. Are you old enough to remember this?
  19. The human mind tries to make sense out of everything.
