Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I agree about the android tablet cameras on some models. My wife and I have four between us, two each. All of them are RCA Voyagers about a year apart from each other. Not a one of them has a camera that I would waste a penny on...and they all have a front-facing camera only. They were advertised as having front and rear cameras but there is no rear cameras on these things. Not that I would use them anyway considering the quality. I'll stick with my trusty Logitech 720p Webcam I use for my videos and I have a 1999 Sony digital camera that saves to floppies and Magic Gate memory cards that still works. I never used the camera on my iPad so I lack experience in that department. But the retina screen is suppose to be as close to a crystal-clear image as possible. Put it mildly to match retina of the human eye. Glad you are liking it. If you enjoy writing and stuff like that be sure to check out Pages.

RickR Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've never owned an IPad either...mostly because I'm too cheap. I've stuck with Dell tablets (Android). Until my last one broke and I switched to Lenovo. And they've all been great. Enjoy it, I'm sure it's nice. MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximumRD Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't recall posting this one before, oldie but a goodie.

Check out this video I posted 7 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDPhF25m9Z8 Justin 1 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

MaximumRD Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well have not done a video for ages BUT here is something quick I threw together for today. just a quick daily check in our recycling bin because tomorrow evening we may goet rainfall and flooding the likes we have not had in like 200 years. City is basically under State of Emergency due to predicted rainfall for tonight and tomorrow : See HERE Kelowna posted May 10, 2017 by KelownaNow Staff State of Emergency: Mayor of Kelowna asks residents to pull together for possible one in 200 year event. Flooding throughout the Central Okanagan has resulted in a number of Evacuation Alerts, Orders and road closures. The City of Kelowna, City of West Kelowna and the Fintry Delta in the Regional District of Central Okanagan declared a state of emergency on Saturday, May 6, 2017 due to flooding from various creeks spilling their banks in the Central Okanagan. With warm temperatures, rising freezing levels and 25-40 mm of rain forecast for Thursday, May 11, 2017 to Sunday May 14, 2017, rising water levels throughout the valley are a real concern. "Forecasts released on Monday could be predicting a one in 200-year event," said Shaun Reimer, Section Head, Public Safety and Protection. Mayor Colin Basran in the video below has encouraged Kelowna residents to prepare for rising water levels in local creeks and streams and to work together to help friends, family and neighbours during this flooding event." HONESTLY I hope they are wrong, I do not really expect to see floods appearing down our streets, at least I am hoping but who knows? When we first moved here years ago that summer we sustained the worst Fires that summer and thought "Geez is this normal here?" it wasn't really it was just timing. Anyway lights have flickered so there is also chance of power outages (which could be the worst part lol) so let's just hope it does not end up as bad as they suggest. Anyway, with all that said here is my quick silly little video, done mostly just to let my Youtube subscribers know I am at least still alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awPfnEmBDiE&lc=z121v1jr3sqmg3xsd23ncvmzjtqmzhabb04 UPDATE ! Fortunately flooding in my area has not happened and currently it is more sunny than cloudy! Crisis averted! We are out of the danger. Surrounding cities / towns sadly had a much worse time.

MaximumRD Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Opinions on EMULATION - What do YOU use? Been far to long! My NEW video. Be warned this is a ramble where I veer off on tangents and for those that have been with me for a while it is expected. Be sure to grab a beer / coffee and sit back and listen to my take on the topic of emulation ranging from my history to views on ethics and morality of emulation to thoughts on what I might like to try and finally PLEASE SHARE what you like to emulate and your personal favorite means of emulating.

MaximumRD Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Part of a recent Well's Gray Ltd. trip (Skeena and Inside Passage package) we stopped at the the Historic Town of Barkerville and I decided to check out the Cemetery as it was not on the tour agenda but I took it upon myself to break away from the other tourists and check out this historic Cemetery since I would not get another chance. If I seem somewhat out of breath don't worry I am fine, I was not expecting the hike to be so out of the way and I was rushed since I was on a schedule! Well worth it and I am happy to share with you all. Check out these related links for more info on Barkerville and the Cemetery.

Many of the headboards have been recently restored, and the tour benefits from up-to-date research.

Doesn't mean I didn't but since I cannot confirm here it is anyways. Maybe I simply decided against uploading it for some reason or maybe I just forgot, here it is now all the same for better or worse.
