Ooh, that gives me an idea, I should check my old macs for a PCI-X video card, that might make this whole thing easier

My best friend had that case and knocked a jar of red model paint directly onto the top exhaust fan. The computer still worked and his walls/ceiling looked like a hamster had exploded.

The computer still worked and his walls/ceiling looked like a hamster had exploded. One night during "the big divide" after Dynamo (a night club) closed, we heard a scream of "NOT loving THERE!" coming from the library's backyard across the street (where everyone went to piss because the nightclub was closed). The library is a "free copy library" i.e. they archive every bit of printed matter published in the country, and thus it extends several stories underground. This obviously requires somewhat powerful ventilation... so some bright young lad had had the bright idea to piss straight into one of the big exhaust fans on the wall.

Oh poo poo it's that Japanese actor who had the awful face surgery. You all might recognize him as the captain from those awful fugitive alien movies (as seen on MST3k) E: Oh my quote:In 1971, Shishido ended his contract and left the failing company,[3] which had transitioned into softcore roman porno ("romantic pornography") films in order to stay profitable.

The previous poster was able to see the ad with Shihido, so it might be on your end. I keep reading that Imgur's being a bastard and doing all sorts of geo- and VPN-related shenanigans, possibly related to the big purge they announced.

I just had a magic smoke event with an EGA monitor I picked up cheap. Since the picture was strong otherwise and the price was good I'm tempted to not try a return and look into recapping it since it seems like a blown cap is the issue and that's fixable.

  I accidentally won a couple of auctions so now I'm ready to end the classic 80's British schoolyard argument. Or at least once I get these cleaned and get rid of the smell of stale nicotine from the C64. Good lord

Before I zoomed the image in, I thought it was a broken Interface 2 There were a few like that before Kempston/Interface 2 joysticks became the de-facto standards. That's a particularly crude one though, most had at least a proper case and five 2-pin cables you plugged into sockets labelled for each key, this one looks like you need to look up the keyboard matrix in a chart.

That's loving cool! I guess by the time I got a Spectrum (1986, I think), stuff like that was already long obsolete. Edit: And by 'Spectrum' I mean a 'Saga 1 Emperor' - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/1000352/Hardware/Saga_1_Emperor_Keyboard. I was spared the rubber keys. Even got a 2-button mouse with it. God drat, that was a good Christmas  magimix has a new favorite as of 18:22 on May 16, 2023 |

I worked PC retail for a few years and that jingle would be playing pretty much constantly as 40-50 different display machines played the looping demo video entirely out of sync with each other It got to you after a while

there was a department store in my town when I was a teenager which had two of those TV/VHS combos next to each other - like literally touching side to side - both blaring different JML infomercials far too loud. Just passing by it was like an intense aural assault. It was right opposite a checkout too. I'd have taken a hammer to them 30 minutes into my first shift.
