[21:15] Howdy RobertB [21:15] Hi, Snog. [21:16] It's been really quiet... [21:16] I just got finished with my Christmas shopping a few minutes ago. :-) [21:17] Maybe everybody is celebrating and/or shopping. [21:17] Yep, or in bed with visions of sugarplums [21:18] What exactly is a sugarplum? [21:18] I know what a plum is. [21:18] :-) [21:19] lots of mystery for those not old enough to know... [21:20] I guess I'm not old enough. Hooray! :-) [21:20] Never roasted chestnuts, either.... [21:21] Ooo, I've eaten roasted chestnuts. Very tasty. [21:21] A meaty quality for a nut. [21:21] walnuts, almonds, and cashews are my choices for eating.. [21:22] Macadamia nuts are great (except they seem to be the fattiest of the nuts). [21:22] Ooo... and a good pecan pie. Yummy. [21:23] ya, pecan pies are yummy [21:25] Hey, I received an e-mail from Joerg Droeg... Nafcom of P.o.L.. He wanted to update my profile on CsDb. [21:25] profile? [21:26] Merry Christmas Snogpitch and Mr. Bernardo. [21:26] I didn't even know I had a file in that database. [21:26] Hi, Antares! [21:26] Merry Christmas! [21:26] Merry Christmas, antares51 :> [21:26] Kinda quiet tonight. [21:26] Yep, Christmas eve usually is [21:27] Got my presents early. [21:27] Any good stuff? [21:27] * antares51 passes around con quesa and Doritos. [21:28] Me gustan Doritos y salsa fresca. :-) [21:28] Sheets, a sweater, a pocket watch, food and money. [21:29] What?! No toys?! ;-) [21:29] I plan on starting 2006 with an XM1541 cable. [21:29] And then what? [21:30] I got my shortwave kit a little early (my "toy"). [21:30] Yay, a toy! I have some HAM programs for the Commodore, but to use them I have to buy the hardware. [21:31] Looking for an antique shortwave receiver and a carttridge to process the morse code and wefax. [21:32] A Realistic DX-160 would be nice. [21:32] Hmm, I don't know what antique is for SW receivers. [21:32] probably anything with tubes [21:33] Over twenty-five years old is antique. Our favorite computer is vintage antique! [21:34] No tubes. 17 transisters and one IC (amplifier). [21:34] Not quite, Antares. :-) [21:34] Oooo, no LSI's. [21:34] Getting there and loving it. [21:35] Hey, that sounds like a phrase from Get Smart! [21:35] * C64ER (~n8ie@cpe-24-33-151-250.woh.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:35] You are correct sir! [21:35] Howdy C64ER [21:35] HOI and Merry Christmas everyone! [21:35] Merry Christmas C64ER. [21:35] Hello Snog, how you doing? [21:35] Merry Christmas :> [21:35] Hi, C64er. Merry Christmas. [21:36] It's been a few weeks since I've logged on. [21:36] What'd I miss? LOL [21:36] Hey, Antares, are you excited that Get Smart is finally being released in 2006 on DVD? [21:36] Welcome the few, the proud, the Commodorians. [21:36] You bet! [21:37] CsDb and shortwave discussion. [21:37] * Dragos (~fre@69.137.243.215) Quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [21:38] BTW Slarti's been a real pest on CSC. [21:38] Before I forget... http://noname.c64.org/csdb/scener/?id=6962 [21:39] That's where they listed my information. [21:39] He has, Antares? [21:40] Yeah. Tearing down Christmas and christians. [21:41] Oh, nothing is off-limits for him. [21:42] He called folks who believe in such things retards. I don't believe anyone would visit his chat room who did. [21:42] well, there are folks there... [21:42] He likes to troll. [21:42] whether they are talking or idling, I couldn't care [21:43] In that message from Nafcom, he asked about how many shows and which shows I have attended. [21:43] C= shows/expos/parties, that is. [21:44] I counted 36-37 shows! [21:45] hmmmm, no idea how many I've been to. [21:46] :-) [21:46] I had to go back to the 1980's. [21:46] I don't post in CSC. He came in here one time spouting nonsense. I shut him off. [21:47] Oh, you put him on IGNORE? [21:47] I used psycology on him. [21:48] Psychology? (Hey, he might read this in the chat log!) [21:48] Hope so. In the battle of wits he comes up short. [21:49] considering he thinks log readers are losers, he probably reads them [21:49] * C64ER (~n8ie@cpe-24-33-151-250.woh.res.rr.com) Quit [21:50] And we know he reads them based on a couple posts he has made on c.s.c [21:50] Last night I was working on my questions to ask the Commodore Int'l BV people at CES. [21:50] I only read the log when I've been invited to. He complained and pointed to the log. I'll bite! [21:51] I tried to sound business-like (now that I have a business card that is business-like). [21:52] I'd like to know if they plan to make any "home computers" [21:52] Just as long as you don't "get the business". [21:52] If you guys have any specific questions for the CI BV people, let me know now. [21:52] :-) That's right, Antares. They might not agree to any interview at all. [21:53] In my questions, I asked what they would do for us "legacy" folk (I didn't say computers). [21:54] My question would be: "Do you plan on any legacy support for Commodore products?". [21:54] For older products? [21:55] Yes. ...this includes software. [21:55] One question I have is about any future plans in retro-gaming and retro-computing. [21:56] I expect you'll keep us informed. I read CSC daily. [21:57] I'm a daily reader of C.S.C, too, Antares. [21:57] * ShadowM (~shadow@adsl-69-210-62-8.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has joined #c64friends [21:57] Hi, Shadow. [21:57] Howdy ShadowM [21:57] Merry Christmas Shadow. [21:57] Happy Holidays everyone :) [21:58] Robert: I believe you get too much of a hard time from folks on CSC. [21:58] Merry Christmas. [21:58] Ah, such is life in the public eye, Antares. [21:59] You do good work. [21:59] Oh, thanks. [22:00] * RobertB looks down and shuffles about. [22:00] :-) [22:00] lol [22:00] * antares51 passes around cold glasses of Seven-up.

[22:04] Ah, that's it. Must not drink on an empty stomach. [22:04] O.K., time to get some dinner from the kitchen. [22:04] I'm comfortably happy. [22:05] BRB. [22:05] Snog: Did you get anything? [22:05] * MikeC (~MikeC@CPE000fb552ac59-CM001371b66e78.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #c64friends [22:06] I got my glasses as a combo birthday Christmas present to myself [22:06] Merry Christmas Mike.

[22:06] And a new wrist watch [22:07] * Fuzz-PSW already opened all gifts, and gave all gifts [22:07] I like my "World's Best Dad" pocket watch. [22:07] ...from my daughter. [22:07] hehehe :) [22:07] My daughter is wonderful. [22:08] She helped me run my 64. [22:08] I got a present from Maurice Randall. [22:09] scpu? hard drive? [22:09] Which was...? [22:09] He sent back the CMD HD and one of the 64Cs he's had for... uh, some time. [22:09] * C64ER (~n8ie@cpe-24-33-151-250.woh.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [22:09] Merry Christmas C64ER [22:10] Thanks. [22:10] Were they repaired?

[22:10] it's called irc c64friends [22:11] Jim was talking about taking out the code for irc to help debug Q, tho [22:11] I'm back.

(I doubt it, but hey I never thought Q would be0) [22:19] {C64ER} Laying around or at a Goodwill store? [22:19] if Club Caribe has the same attendance as regular Q, it might be a lonely island. [22:20] {C64ER} Club Carbie would be cool. [22:20] No, in a plastic bag of a collection that was donated to us. [22:20] {C64ER} LOL [22:20] {C64ER} SWEET! [22:20] {Gameman} lol well perhps there might be more, and anyway I would to explore [22:20] I say. Where is Jim Brain?

[22:20] {C64ER} Well, Roberto, my birthday is in two weeks......... [22:20] !seen _brain_ [22:21] Snogpitch, _brain_ (~brain@12-217-178-211.client.mchsi.com) was last seen quitting #c64friends 5 weeks 2 hours 46 minutes ago (19.11. 18:51) stating "Quit: leaving" after spending some time there. [22:21] {ShadowM} Robert, does it work? [22:21] Odd! [22:22] You know, I haven't even tried it out yet. [22:23] {C64ER} Well I can test it out for you. :) [22:23] {ShadowM} LOL, some people wouldn't eat for days if they found a SCPU! [22:23] {Gameman} Well this time of year...not suprised (busy busy busy) [22:23] {Gameman} LOL! true shadow [22:23] :-) [22:23] {C64ER} I still have about 300 floppies to go through yet. [22:23] {Gameman} 300? ouch [22:24] I still need to inventory my "stash". [22:24] blanks? or stuff on them? [22:24] Unfortunately, this SCPU 64 doesn't have the SuperRAM card. [22:24] {C64ER} Yeah, sometimes e-Bay buying is more of an addiction that anything. LOL [22:24] {ShadowM} I just got successful cracks of geoCalc and geoChart, my geoCollection is now complete! [22:24] I have both. [22:24] {C64ER} Mostly game disks. [22:25] An inventory for me would take years! [22:25] {Gameman} I have a super ram card, but never got it installed lol [22:25] {ShadowM} SuperRAM is the dividing line where the machine is no longer a C64, to me... [22:25] * antares51 needs the docs for Geoprammer. [22:25] err programmer [22:25] Cracks? Did you use Maverick on them?

[22:26] {ShadowM} Yes Robert, I got copies recently and used the Maverick "upgraded parameters disk" [22:26] {ShadowM} it's the latest thing, you know :) [22:26] {Gameman} Gameboy DS has a 64 emmulator?? [22:26] {C64ER} Yup [22:27] * antares51 likes his Maverick. [22:27] No dividing line for me. All is good. :-) [22:27] {Gameman} wow, I guess I need to get one now lol [22:27] {C64ER} Wait, it might be the PSp [22:27] {C64ER} Play Station portable. [22:27] How good is the emulator for Gameboy DS. [22:27] {C64ER} It' one of them. [22:27] ? [22:27] The one for PsP needs work. [22:27] {C64ER} Don't know yet. We are going to try it tomorrow.= [22:28] {Gameman} Heh someone is getting a PSP tomarrow [22:28] {C64ER} I would buy a hand held C64 emulator [22:29] I'm waiting to buy the Gamepark GP2X.

[22:32] It might be a problem with a 16X9 ratio screen. [22:33] portable players have that ratio? [22:33] I'd use an LCD television like the 800XL hack. [22:33] doesn't look like it from the photos I've seen [22:33] Entered QRoom: Gamemaste [22:33] Happy holidays, AB.
