[20:52] :) [20:52] pc via serial connection [20:52] my pc doesn't have serial or parallel ports [20:53] i'll have to dig out one of my ancient systems [20:53] use a usb-serial adapter, it works [20:53] I have my hands full with using the Xm1541 and scommander [20:53] One step at a time. [20:53] i was thinking of setting up a server with one of my old clunkers [20:53] AlanR I did downloaded starC [20:54] It pop up right in win98 [20:54] * clocky (~Javauser@ppp169-201.lns1.per1.internode.on.net) has left #c64friends [20:54] Antares51: I'm around.

[20:55] that is what is suggested [20:55] yes, most likely [20:55] and the reason I provided you with that 3.5" diskimage [20:56] will starcommander work on a 386? [20:56] Trinary: You're located at Chistmas Island? [20:56] I think so [20:56] she is an elf?!?!! [20:56] OMG!!1!

[21:38] No money. No bidding.

[21:44] I'm getting a scope on eBay for $24.99 and no shipping costs, since it's local [21:44] I once bought a Hammarlund Shortwave radio on ebay [21:44] Hey, I have a VIC-Switch. :-) [21:45] there was one on ebay ended earlier [21:45] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7588622428&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI% 3AIT&rd=1 [21:45] * AlanR (Alan@dialup-4.224.96.154.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face.

[22:01] <^Oldbit^> hehehe [22:01] LR, you have to have the certain gears/rollers to drive the ribbons. [22:01] Not that I wouldn't like some more C= RPG tools and editors [22:01] Hi, Jeri. [22:02] RobertB: Hmm, got it stashed in a box at the moment. My memory is a bit out of it at the moment. I don't remember any extras that came with the unit. [22:02] LordRonin - A nice version of Ultima 4 coming soon from MagerValp. One 3.5" disk with built-in character editor, etc. [22:02] Oh-oh, without the gears/rollers for the specific ribbon cartridge, it won't work. [22:03] Groovey man, will that be able to be on the BBS when it is released? I have some editor for several of the Ultima games. Need a good copy of VI and a better editor than I have. [22:03] Smeag it, guess I'm stuck with the manual operation as Dick gave me an outline form. [22:04] Yeech! Manual re-inking! Good luck. [22:04] Jeri: According to the recent Official Playstation Mag. There is a 7th season of Red Dwarf coming out [22:04] Well it wouldn't be the first time there was ink on my fingers [22:05] I'm just waiting for the first season of the Mission: Impossible t.v. show to come out this year. [22:05] Robert: Newsletter was posted to you this week. Came out better than expected on the Rainbow 1020 [22:06] Hope it is better than the first movie [22:06] O.K., thanks. Our newsletter will come out sometime after the 15th. [22:06] The t.v. show is far better than the Tom Cruise movies! [22:06] I sent Lenard a letter letting him know that I thought he was doing good work. Told him about Perfect Print. [22:07] oh, but what version of the TV show? :) [22:07] Yeah, I told him about GEOS L.Q., too. [22:07] The first version (though MI: 1988 was interesting in its own right). [22:07] He asked about GeoPublish. Suggested that he contact Maurice about a copy. I'm out at this time and with the shop closed. Can't sell anything if I had a copy. [22:08] Didn't have tv in 1988, never heard of that series. [22:08] I told him about Geopublish, too, but told him that it would be very slow without the necessary hardware. [22:09] OK in my next letter I can run him through what I do in the shop with a jiffy dos system and a clone 1750. [22:09] * Jeri0p (user@c-67-160-166-168.hsd1.or.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [22:09] Scared her away again, i did [22:09] They brought back Peter Graves in the 1988 series, along with special guest appearances from former cast members. [22:10] <^Oldbit^> nah, I suspect she'll be back.. [22:10] I don't think Lenard has a 1750 or JiffyDOS. [22:10] I went from 1980 to 1990 with out teley. Last show i watched was the Galactica 1980 travesty. Gave up on tv at that time. Spent my time with music, work and gaming. [22:10] <^Oldbit^> kinda surprised brain isn't in here.. He appears to be back from a little breaktime... [22:11] He doesn't have Wheels, either. That's why Geopublish would be a bear to use for him/ [22:11] . [22:12] I used Geopublish on two 1541's back in the day and it wasn't so bad [22:12] Not sure on his system. Have to learn more. Been helping him with the disability problem. Did tell him about the print driver tool for GeoWrite and GeoPaint [22:12] * Jeri0p (user@c-67-160-166-168.hsd1.or.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [22:12] Oldbit: Haven't heard from Jim since prior to November last year [22:12] Hi, Jeri.

I can understand it.. :)!!!! [22:14] In regards to what he currently knows. He won't find GeoPub to be that slow or negative. Told him about the tools that will let him convert his NewsRoom gfx to photoscraps. [22:14] <^Oldbit^> LordRonin looks like the kind of guy you don't want to meet in a dark alley... [22:14] These personal problems of mine have made me lose my touch. Jeri should be screaming in abject terror at this moment. [22:15] yeah. compared to The Newsroom, geoPub rocks [22:15] Oldbit: yeah but then again in a jungle environment.... [22:15] <^Oldbit^> LOL [22:15] And I told him about the high-learning curve of Geopublish, too. [22:15] <^Oldbit^> One of these days, I've got to meet you in the real... :) [22:16] I used NewsRoom when i took over editorship of the local U.G. Worked but the output was hard to read. GeoPub was the salvation and Post Print the gods hand of C= justice. [22:16] I dont think its that high [22:16] Oldbit: Only if you can stand {A} C= fanatical bias {B} RPG bias {C} cat bias and {D} radical pipe smoker. [22:17] CurtisP: Thou lacketh in your faith for the holy C= [22:17] <^Oldbit^> ABC, very cool... can hold breath for long periods... :) [22:17] Oh, yes, it is. [22:17] O2 units are optional [22:19] Well PP4 would be nice if it didn't kill off the first 3-5 lines of the print work [22:19] I've made many booklets in 3.8 for my videogame members of walkthrougths [22:20] Have a list of things to make in the same way for the shop. When it reopens. [22:20] I don't use that version of PP (due to its flaws). [22:20] Did you experience the same as I? I mean where it lost the first few lines? [22:21] <^Oldbit^> Publishing with C=, diehard stuff guys... [22:21] * Douglas (~Douglas@02-002.750.popsite.net) has joined #c64friends [22:21] Oldbit: Ah, but this radical red is a diehard. Just wish that I was back on the 128D instead of this A1200 [22:21] hello everyone! [22:21] Hoi Douglas [22:21] Hi, Douglas. [22:22] <^Oldbit^> Hi Douglas [22:22] Roberto, did you locate the Twin Cities 128 newsletters yet?

[22:23] * MikeAZ1 (~chatzilla@c-69-139-187-86.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [22:23] I've got a nice A1200 on ebay now..cheap!!! [22:23] :-) [22:23] Ah, I had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. [22:23] Well, if the price is right.... Also have a CD/TV that I would sell or prefere to trade for holy and sacred C= items. [22:24] I have a cdtv to get rid of also...too little time... [22:24] The last few days have been hard. Grades were due, and I was pushing myself to exhaustion. [22:24]
