[20:48] dang IE 7 sucks [20:48] I helped Dad set up the Christmas tree [20:48] Plus we went to Dayton for a good part of this morning and afternoon [20:49] What was in Dayton?? [20:49] * CurtisP went to Dayton once [20:50] Had my birthday lunch there :) [20:50] When is your birthday, today? [20:50] yep [20:50] Happy birthday, mine is tomorrow. [20:51] old men :P [20:51] I won't sing tommorrow, got a scratchy throat tonight, and might be losing my voice by then [20:51] I'm glad... :) [20:51] of course that's when my Joe Cocker impression is best [20:52] heh [20:52] * EggSnog (~Snogpitch@cpe-24-209-209-107.cinci.res.rr.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:53] Does anyone have a text file or a scan of all of the JiffyDos commands. I just got a 1571 that has it installed. [20:53] JiffyDOS RULES! its true. the best. we know. [20:53] Seems to me there was a list of commands online somewhere...probably cmdrkey [20:54] I looked there... Nothing. [20:54] Unless I missed it. [20:54] * Snogpitc1 (~Snogpitch@cpe-24-209-209-107.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [20:54] Need to know how to set the default drive to device 9. [20:55] @9 doesn't work. [20:56] isn't something like @swap9? [20:56] * dunric_64 is back, like bad spagetti [20:57] * Snogpitc1 is now known as EggSnog [20:57] Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! [20:58] @swap9 results in an error on device 8. [20:58] curtis: he's just waiting for me to talk about time travel and disk recovery :) [20:59] although, I am a *huge* Back to the Future fan [20:59] 1.2 Gigawatts... [20:59] so I can identify with Marty McFly [20:59] and Doc Emmit Brown [20:59] in the...Dalorian [21:00] "You made a time machine...out of a delorean?" [21:00] I thought that disk recover required a pillow [21:00] are you guys DMC-12 owners? [21:00] try @"s-9",8 [21:00] nah...just Maverick GCR Editor [21:00] What's DMC-12? [21:00] I can't remember my password with the chanserv. This sucks. [21:00] a car. [21:01] never heard of it [21:01] With Maverick you can use the GCR Editor and read data in at different densities...e.g. $00, $20, $40, $60, etc [21:01] we are Commodore 64 owners [21:01] yoyo [21:01] Snog: With the quotes? [21:01] Gotcha :) [21:01] well, I like my DMC-12 *and* my commie. [21:02] sometimes, but not always, you can find data in between tracks [21:02] due to disalignment [21:02] the reading drive and writing drive would need to be slightly different in alignment [21:02] http://redmartian.com/trip/ [21:02] but that's off the top of my head, so I can't verify it [21:02] theres a photo of a dmc-12 [21:02] two photos :) [21:03] hellion [21:03] @#9 [21:03] yes.

[21:06] hi Robert, how how your friends up here? [21:06] thats the same **** denard pringlebutt tried to pull too [21:06] Hi, Stephen.

[21:06] puget sound [21:06] a lot of people lost power late thursday night [21:07] you could always offer a storage room full of hardware on ebay, then cancel the auction if you don't get a large enough bid [21:07] Oh, heck. I know a few people in the Puget Sound area. [21:07] power should be restored on Monday [21:07] That's a loooonnnng weekend. [21:07] * PJimAFK is now known as PhotoJim [21:07] Hi, PhotoJim.

[21:09] rob: I'm watching Back to the Future marathon on USA :) [21:09] I mean, right now .. its all going into the trash.

[21:10] wow... was that last year? [21:10] rob: man, if you've got a MPS-800, I'm all game [21:10] I thought it was last week. [21:10] funny when poeple dont get the joke, huh, smj [21:10] I guess so.. [21:10] I'll take a 9-pin dot matrix over one of those cheap ink jets any day [21:10] You mean an MPS-801? [21:10] I mean, its not like a Michael Richards faux paux. [21:11] or is it? [21:11] yeah, MPS-801 [21:11] lol smj [21:11] seriously, I wouldn't even smash a PCjr. [21:11] Snog: No I did not... Thanks!!!!! [21:11] well.. maybe. [21:11] he's a speccy! he's a speccy! he's a speccy! [21:11] project 64 is a little misguided, ocr with all the illistartions and formatting is very maddening [21:11] I probably have one of those 801's in storage. [21:11] rob: does it have any ink? [21:11] 20 years ago, we would have had you string up with a wafer-tape in your ***! [21:11] i do not miss the unformated text documents from the 80s, why would i want to look at them now [21:11] I should put that jiffy-dos quick reference on a disk, I can never remember the commands [21:11] Ink? The ribbon is probably dry by now. [21:12] * MikeAZ1_ (~MikeAZ1@c-69-139-187-86.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:12] hmm ok [21:12] Hi, Mike.

I carry JiffyDOS with me at all time as it protects me from evil. [21:14] JiffyDOS RULES! its true. the best. we know. [21:14] NOT [21:14] haha golan [21:14] indeed [21:14] I told Waryna I would prepay DHL shipping for his 4 or 5 commie items but he said no. [21:14] $175 or it goes in the trash [21:14] and it did. [21:14] Uh, after paying CMD 15K+ in dollars, I think he does.

[21:15] I'll name my next child JiffyDOS. It's just that good. [21:15] JiffyDOS RULES! its true. the best. we know. [21:15] hmmm, james_m, what a sneaky nickname..... kinda like this Robertb character [21:16] Nah, I'm just Robert Bernardo. [21:16] JiffyDOS'ed SX64, $666.95 in the next 5 minutes (only 15 left!!) or it goes in the trash. [21:16] JiffyDOS RULES! its true. the best. we know. [21:16] James_M has root, don't mess with him dragos ;-) [21:16] smj: $175 for a C64C, a 1581, 1571, 1541 and a 1670? [21:16] what re you trying to hide wiht that nick, mr bernardo, if that is indeed your real name [21:16] Yes, he wanted $175 plus shipping for the lot but stated he didn't want to ship it that I would have to come pick it up. [21:16] but I"m in Seattle and he's .. kentucky? [21:17] wow [21:17] Well, I wanted a longer nick but I couldn't do it. :-) Just call me Captain Bobby. [21:17] isnt warya the same guy who wanted to trade a 128 for an amiga 4000 with accel last year? [21:17] I thought $175 was too much. [21:17] yes, I think so. [21:17] yeah, $125 would have been too much [21:17] All hail Captain Bobby!!! [21:17] yeah, he needs to go away, FAST [21:17] the 81 alone is worth $25-30 [21:17] $35 tops [21:17] * Schema begs to differ [21:17] i'll take ever 81 you can come up with for $35 [21:17] right the 1581 is the most valuable piece as far as I'm concern. [21:18] concerned. [21:18] I can get a 1581 for $30 + shipping [21:18] all day long [21:18] but he wouldn't sell just the 1581 [21:18] from where dunric?? [21:18] C64C - $5. 1581 - $55 or $60. 1571 - $10. 1541 - $5. 1670 - $1 or $2. [21:18] he wanted to sell the lot. [21:18] I have my sources :) [21:18] its quite sad. [21:18] now its in the trash. [21:18] That's what our club would sell the hardware for. [21:18] Mine sold for well over $100 on ebay (4 of them) [21:18] buried in the back yard or hiding in the outhouse? [21:18] apparently. [21:18] RobertB: isn't a 1581 closer to $100? your other prices sound about right though. [21:18] and he rubbed our nose in it like the dogs we are. [21:18] * JavaUser (~Javauser@225-8.9-67.tampabay.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:18] No, we don't sell 1581's for $100. [21:18] just watch, i have one going on ebay, and it will bring no less thatn $100 [21:19] There's a Goodwill near town that sometimes get old hardware, and they sell it cheap [21:19] ahhh [21:19] That doesn't count. [21:19] Goodwill isn't a steady supplier. [21:19] I saw an old Atari 2600 system, with plenty of games, for $10 [21:19] yeah, thats like stealing candy from pre-school trik-or-treaters [21:19] * JavaUser is now known as beeman [21:19] * Schema whistles innocently [21:19] That's cheap, Paul. [21:19] oh jeez [21:19] I was at Goodwill today, there were no computers there of any kind [21:19] But we're talking about a specific deal. [21:19] yup [21:19] Hi, Beeman. [21:19] like I said, it's Goodwill [21:19] I used to get my best old hardware from a Goodwill up in Wisconsin. [21:19] and a specific person [21:19] HELLO All [21:20] and a specific usenet group. [21:20] the trick is to go every friday [21:20] Howdy beeman [21:20] Almost everything I bought from them was in working order and cheap [21:20] How specific can you be! ;-) [21:20] my local goodwill usually has a wall of old pc monitors, that's about it [21:20] not thursday evening, but friday morning [21:20] * JavaUser (~Javauser@71.93.228.43) has joined #c64friends [21:20] * JavaUser is now known as village16 [21:20] Hi, Scott. [21:21] hey robert [21:21] * dragos sets mode: +o Hellion_1 [21:21] * ChanServ sets mode: -o Hellion_1 [21:21] Are you surviving the storm in Oregon? [21:21] hmm [21:21] * dragos (~fre@c-69-137-243-215.hsd1.in.comcast.net) Quit [21:21] yes, we just got power back in Warrenton and Astoria [21:21] * dragos (~fre@c-69-137-243-215.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:21] * ChanServ sets mode: +o dragos [21:21] Yow! After how long? [21:22] We've barely had a few raindrops here from that storm. [21:22] about 48 hours [21:22] Ouch! [21:23] got fun puttin all of our fgrozen foods in the reefer trucks at the store [21:23] Makes me want to invest in a whole-house emergency power system. [21:23] * Schema (~zzz@209.151.141.59) Quit [21:24] At least you had that recourse in order to save your food. [21:24] a good idea, I had stocked up on emergency foods and sternos [21:25] A whole-house emergency power system would cost a few thousand dollars. [21:25] if you have the funds for it [21:25] I'd probably have to take a loan out for it. [21:25] * dragos sets mode: +o Hellion_1 [21:25] RobertB: Have you considered a wind-turbine to generate electricity in case of outages? [21:26] We're looking into that option for our cottage. [21:26] Not enough wind here in the valley to do that. [21:26] If I were closer to San Francisco, I would have considered it. [21:26] snog, that wireless connection you are using is very flaky [21:26] plenty of wind hewre :) [21:27] I can believe it, Scott. Especially with Astoria being right there at the mouth of the river. [21:28] RobertB: No wind? Think solar. [21:28] I generate electricity with a Fuel Cell that feeds off my flatulance [21:28] actually astoria is a bit farther inland, it is Warrenton and Seaside that is on the coastline [21:28] Going solar would be far more expensive. It wouldn't pay for itself for 20-30 years. [21:28] * dragos sets mode: -o Hellion_1 [21:29] that's what Google is doing [21:29] Hellion_1 requested OP for Hellion_1. [21:29] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Hellion_1 [21:29] There were supposed to be home fuel cells by now, but I haven't seen any sold commercially. [21:30] Blame my neighbor for his flakey wireless... :) [21:30] they are racking up so much in energy costs now that they are sero-converting their energy consumption to solar arrays [21:30] i herby summon the power of jiffyDOS to strike down thy neighbor with flaky wireless [21:31] * CurtisP summons the power of jiffyDOS and becomes... [21:31] jiffyDude! [21:31] able to do things in a jiffy [21:32] Space Ghost! [21:32] hmm, i imagine a cmd txt adventure [21:32] Jiffy Ghost! [21:32] JiffyDos Rules (SX64 w/ JiffyDos $666.95 (only 5 left!!) ring tootie for the deal!) [21:32] JiffyDOS RULES! its true. the best. we know. [21:32] you are in a shop, in front of your are 5 years of orders [21:33] get lamp [21:33] Ah, one of those text adventures that let you choose which way to go. [21:33] SAVE GAME [21:33] im sorry, the lamp is under 5 years of orders [21:33] Choose A, B, or C. [21:33] Douglas Adams' Maurice-ocracy? [21:33] burninate orders [21:33] trogdor is unavailable, please summon other dragon type creature [21:34] burninate shop [21:34] I should pull out that C64 educational program again... What was it called..? Design a Story? [21:34] ok, you forgot to exit shop and it burnt to the ground, game over [21:35] sell C64C + 1581 + 1571 + 1670 on usenet for $175 else trash [21:35] It was interesting that it had C64 on one side of the disk and Apple II on the other side of the disk. [21:35] a troll apears [21:36] Yell at troll. [21:36] With all the commercials TNT is throwing in, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King goes on for 4+ hours. [21:37] score [21:37] Now that's marathon t.v. viewing. [21:37] get rod [21:37] plus the whole trillogy on sunday [21:37] I didn't know that, Scott. [21:37] The rod is unavailable, it is under 5 years of orders. [21:38] I burninated the orders. [21:38] Oh, sorry.. [21:38] village16, have you seen the Kirk Cameron BTTF documentary? [21:38] its on the Japanese LD box set. [21:38] Bobby: there were old games from Avalon Hill that had different versions of a program for 6 different computers on one cassette tape? [21:38] JiffyDude will dispatch the troll with minimum effort. [21:38] BTTF? Back to the Future? [21:38] no I have not [21:39] Yes.. BTTF. [21:39] burninate. [21:39] I think dragos got a collection of tapes for the PET at the CinciClassic this spring like that.. [21:39] bruninate orders [21:39] Kirk Cameron was on Back to the Future? [21:39] i did [21:39] no, he did was the 'guest' for the documentary on this LD set. [21:39] I forget which other computers were on the tape tho [21:39] ok, what does the line of code do? [21:39] Ah, I see. [21:40] ? CHR$(93*ABS(M)+64*M) [21:40] It was just prior to ]I[ coming out.. so I guess it was more a promo. [21:40] he didn't even get to drive the car. [21:40] nope no kirk [21:40] clearly you can see the stunt driver tearing up the gravel int he delorean and stopping very quickly .. then the scnee cuts to kirk getting out of the car ;-) [21:41] kirk...He could never replace Michael [21:41] I was thinking of DeLorean cars the other day. I don't know why, though. :-) [21:41] He was typecast in that role...much like Adam Sandler is typecast in humor roles [21:41] are they even still around? [21:41] Probably because I need another car. :-) [21:42] No, Scott. Just used ones. [21:42] a Delorean would really fit your personality [21:42] I'm watching 50 First Dates right now [21:42] more than a white .. police car? what is it? :) [21:42] And it's just an AMC Matador underneath! [21:42] you can fit your commodores under the hood and on the parse shelf. [21:42] Plus the body never rusts. [21:43] its got a PRV6 [21:43] But you have to keep shining it up with steel wool. ;-) [21:43] Delorean's are good for fun...just use the doors and prop them up during dates...mojo points on the scale of love [21:43] I don't think AMC ever made production engine for it [21:43] :) [21:43] yes and you can use gasoline to remove road tar. [21:43] works great. [21:43] or coca-cola, they say [21:43] it burns through [21:43] yes, coke works too [21:44] I usually use windex though [21:44] paramedics are said to carry coke [21:44] coke works for everything [21:44] to remove stuff from the road [21:44] Nah, don't keep it on the stainless steel for too long. [21:44] it acts like acid [21:44] * dunric_64 is away [21:44] phosphoric [21:45] I've actually never used a steel wool pad on it :) [21:45] Actually, I like looking at Amphicars, but they are a bit too specialized. ;-) [21:45] I saw a BMW mini (a BINI) under water here in Seattle.. is that an amphicar? [21:46] It is now. [21:46] very cool [21:46] it seem to work for me [21:46] No, Stephen. A German-built Amphicar from the 1960's. [21:46] then I burninated it [21:46] http://www.drivl.com/posts/view/461 [21:46] oh tahts really cool [21:46] yes, that is your style [21:46] god that is cool!!! [21:46] looks like there is a huge club for it. [21:46] Yeah, but a good one costs money! [21:47] really? [21:47] you live in a fricken desert thoguh!
