    Here's another video. It appears that the review embargo gets lifted on Wednesday.

    ** UPDATE **
    I found an .STL for a ten cartridge holder!  I usually print using .2mm fine detail or better, but that would take around 24 hours, not something I'm all that excited about, so I sliced it for .3mm draft mode, because the case isn't going to be on display anyway, I just need it for function behind the doors of the armoire.  It'll still take 15 hours and 45 minutes to print, so I'll start it after I get home from work on Monday.

    These are the homemade labels I've have on my cartridges for the past few years (as shown in the old photo below).

    Good idea. I'm interested to see what you come up with!

    Maybe because 5200 cartridges never came with end labels, maybe because the system was not that popular.  But one of my next tasks is to comb the internet for a suitable display rack to modify in my slicer for my Atari 5200 cartridges, because as of now, I've been unable to locate a ready made display rack, and while I don't use many of my physical cartridges, I don't like shoving them all in a box.

    Okay, so here we are, a bunch of old dudes into gaming and other tech toys.  Well, what one item could we ALL use?  How about a mini video projector for around  $55.00 that will work with a USB stick, WiFi, HDMI, composite, and Bluetooth?  This way you can watch videos or play your legacy video games on a huge display.  Amazon currently has one on special << HERE >>.
    I think the reason it's so inexpensive is because while it supports 1080P input, it only outputs 720P (1280 X 720) which is still bigger than many legacy video games output.

    Does your coffee get cold before you drink the whole cup?  Why not cover the cup... WITH A STIRLING ENGINE?  << HERE >>
    Not only will your coffee stay hotter longer, you'll be able to tell when it starts cooling down by the speed of the flywheel!

     
    This one was too good to pass up!

    I think you guy are right, it has a small following compared to other systems, so from a business perspective it hardly seems worth the effort.

    I'm guessing here, but I doubt the person who originally stole it back in 1978 was the one putting it up for auction.  Because the person who stole it is probably a senior citizen, if not dead by now.  Also the thief had to know it's value and that putting such an iconic piece of Americana online would attract unwanted attention.  Now it could very well be part of an estate sale by a family member, who knows.  But yeah, it's interesting.
    Sorry, but I had to re-orient the photo, it was driving me nuts.

    - Ω - reacted to Justin in Prelude to Axanar (Star Trek Axanar)   
    I've been following Axanar too, ever since Prelude to Axanar was released. It was stunning. I was really looking forward to seeing the final film, particularly Tony Todd and J.G. Hertzler . Unfortunately that's not going to happen, and what has happened since has been odd at the very least. Robert Meyer Burnett, who edited Prelude, has covered this extensively on his YouTube channel.
    That said, Atari I/O isn't the place to drag outside drama and negativity into the forums. It's not a complaint department or group therapy. You have the whole rest of the internet for that - Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, everything. Just keep things lighthearted and fun! That's all we ask. I'd rather have an adult-level discussion about Axanar in general, than one specific to complaining about what's going on in the comments section of their YouTube channel. I created this place as a fun escape from the headaches of the rest of the world that we can come to at the end of the day to chat about Atari history, play games with old friends and make new ones along the way. (FYI - Axanar's  comments section is a headache.) We come here to get away from the negativity of the rest of the net and world. I hope everybody gets that. I've made it exceptionally clear in the House Rules that Atari I/O keeps outside drama and corrosive negativity from rotting our community from within. People will come into our forums, take a 💩 on our floor, and call it "censorship" when I have to clean it up. It's my responsibility to keep Atari I/O beautiful 🖖

    I've already set up the Chromebook.  That's easy.  Just log in and done.  Now I need to set up the Windows laptop.  That will take more time but it's cool.  I love setting them up to my liking.  I still need to set up my new phone and watch!
