[21:27] Robert B the Robster [21:27] ok ok I'm done [21:27] Hi, Stephan and Antares. [21:27] Robert, did you know about the William Shatner movie on SciFi channel tonight? [21:27] How 'bout VCF east? [21:27] Like Ham the Hamster? ;-) [21:27] ola Mr. Roberto [21:27] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) has joined #c64friends [21:27] LR! [21:27] No, Snog. What is it? [21:27] Oh wow LR too [21:27] Howdy LordRonin [21:27] Hi, Jeff. [21:28] Hi, Dave M. [21:28] Fire Serpent @ SciFi [21:28] Hoi Antares [21:28] Evening, RobertB. [21:28] Hoi Stephan [21:28] lr! [21:28] Hoir Robert [21:28] Written by William Shatner [21:28] Hmmm, what time did the movie start? [21:28] 9 EST [21:28] 9pm PST [21:29] Probably starts 9PST too [21:29] Hmm, well, I have the DVD recorder set for Star Trek Remastered at 7 p.m. PST. [21:29] 10:30 NST :) [21:29] But if it starts at 9 p.m., then no problem! [21:29] recording STR right now, finally remembering it [21:31] there's a show on about the Christie's auction [21:31] Oh, yeah, I recorded that one already, Glenn. [21:31] Ya, I saw that on Monday nite, that was some show! [21:31] Makes me wish I had the big bucks and unlimited storage space. :-) [21:32] Yeah, nice show and a bit surprising about the end price on some of the items [21:33] ah, Robert Beltran is in this Fire Serpent [21:33] ya, I noticed that too [21:34] Next weekend is WonderCon in San Francisco, and I don't have anymore Commodore-related items for Elvira to autograph. :-( [21:34] Is fire serpent good Moloch? [21:34] rbt did you see that ST program on the History channel? [21:34] Robert: no c128D's to sign? [21:34] I guess I'll just have to have her autograph more mundane Elvira memorabilia. [21:34] extra c128's [21:34] :) [21:35] Yes, Steve J. [21:35] destined - Dunno, why not watch it yourself and find out ;) [21:35] No, Jeremy, I wanted her to autograph Commodore-related Elvira goods. [21:36] the auction coverage was interesting. I was surprised at how much the reliant and the enterprise from the motion picture went for in comparison to TNG's enterprise. [21:36] I think Reliant sold for $25k [21:36] and the enterprise for 200k or there abouts [21:37] what stuff has Elvira signed so far? [21:37] Yeah, the 1701-D fetched far more money than the 1701-A. [21:37] $500k [21:37] yeah, surprising [21:37] it was. [21:37] Reliant was the battle-scarred model. [21:37] She signed my disk instructions for Elvira I. [21:37] Thats better than the self-destructed model. [21:38] Heartily agreed. [21:38] I don't have the original Elvira II. [21:38] I think $25k was a steal honestly. [21:38] I would like the 1701-C model [21:38] just wait until Ricardo Montalban dies. [21:38] I thought the 1701-D had been misplaced for quite a while, surprised it was released for auction. [21:39] I wouldn't have mind a shuttle craft :) [21:39] Hard to misplace a 6-foot+ model of a starship. :-) [21:39] heh, did you see that warehouse? [21:39] not really, after you see the warehouses full of boxes [21:39] Nah. [21:39] there was five-six warehouses [21:39] easily lost [21:39] yep [21:39] Was on the ceiling of a restraunt(sp) grill.. as I understand [21:39] Nah. [21:39] with electrified fences. [21:39] yep. [21:39] what about the capt'n's chair? [21:40] Moloch: what is going to happen when Lucas dies and Star wars warehouses? [21:40] Noone knows where the original 1701 model went. [21:40] I thought original 1701 was in the Smithsonian? [21:40] That was a remake placed at the bar in London, England. [21:40] what about that famous picture of Shitner posing with a model, was that the original model? [21:40] Smithsonian model was a smaller version. [21:40] ah, not orignal TNG as I thought? [21:41] Captain's chair is at the Sci-Fi Museum in Seattle (your neck of the woods, Steve J.). [21:41] I saw it there, but I thought it was only temporary. [21:41] Smithsonian has the original 11-foot model. [21:41] The earlier 3-foot model cannot be found. [21:42] * CincyJim (~sock@cpe-69-133-196-110.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:42] maybe I can install the bridge in my living room ... including the hydrolic shifting plate. [21:42] No, Steve, Paul Allen paid lots of money to have it there. It's not temporary. [21:42] Howdy CincyJim [21:42] Hey all [21:42] Hi, CincyJim. [21:42] Paul Allen bytes. [21:42] Hoi CincyJim [21:43] LordRonin, I've been reading your perils with the BBS software and the date/time....Did you try changing the date of the HD yet? [21:43] Everytime I see Paul Allen I ask him for money and everytime he turns the other way. [21:44] You see him often?! [21:44] then he goes off and buys this captain's chair [21:44] and some HR Geiger stuff. [21:44] Along with the Lost in Space Jupiter II from the original series! [21:44] If you're watchful enough you can see gates driving his convertable around [21:44] On its launchpad! [21:45] yes, but at least its all there to be seen. [21:45] smj: have you asked him for Commodore items? [21:45] Yup, the Jupiter II was quite grand, sitting there in the middle of the room. [21:45] No, but I've asked him for PDP-10 items. [21:46] there was a Decsystem 20/20 I wanted that he got. [21:46] then I applied for a job.. a few times [21:46] later ppl [21:46] * al (Dangerous@c-71-229-44-219.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Hey AlanR; got my money?) [21:46] Too bad that the NCCC-1701 created for Deep Space Nine (Trials and Tribblelations) was undetailed. [21:46] NCC [21:47] I could've had an AS-400. [21:47] I was surprised how much Deep Sleep Nine sold for [21:47] I never watched it. [21:47] well.. enough [21:47] I watched enough to know I shouldn't watch. [21:47] but maybe it got better. [21:48] not really :/ [21:48] I mean, ST has jokingly been called a Soap Opera in Space, but I thought Deep Sleep Nine really made that a reality [21:48] highly rated show, must have had plenty of viewers [21:49] The Defiant was the idea to bring back the Trek part of the title... [21:49] I preferred Babylon 5. [21:49] I guess a borg livingroom would be cool too. [21:49] B5 was great, I wish they would bring in back in some manner [21:50] But it is coming back, CincyJim. [21:50] yep [21:50] * Balzabaar (~balza@pool-71-165-160-101.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined #c64friends [21:50] Did you see that foreign fan made video of Star Trek meets Bab5? [21:50] it is? [21:50] Really? DVD Movies? [21:50] What? No Andromeda fans? [21:50] Hi, Andrew. [21:50] Yes, CincyJim. [21:50] I like Invader Zim, I wanna be Gir [21:50] Olį. :) [21:50] Howdy Balzabaar [21:50] Cool [21:50] Snog - Yes [21:50] In post-production right now. [21:50] Hello Balzabaar. [21:50] i have the polish film saved [21:50] I watched Andromeda for the first season or so and lost interest [21:50] what about Starship Exeter? [21:51] Who knows? :-( [21:51] Hiya Robert & Snogpitch & antares51. :) [21:51] Hoi Balzabaar [21:51] "Babylon 5: The Lost Tales is an anthology show set in the Babylon 5 universe. It was announced by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, at the San Diego Comic Con in July 2006. The project is intended to be a series of direct-to-DVD productions, although interest for television broadcast exists." [21:51] Fixing one frozen supreme pizza. [21:51] * Balzabaar takes a deep bow to LordRonin. [21:51] Snog, were you speaking of the Finnish production? [21:51] awesome [21:51] geez, ST Exeter's 2nd episode act III is still not available yet! [21:51] Robert... I finally had time today to read the FCUG newsletter. :) [21:52] Any news on VCF east? [21:52] yeah, Exeter people are a bit slow [21:52] Pickering or something like that... [21:52] No new news, Antares. [21:52] LR: I read *your* newsletter last weekend. :) [21:52] I may be able to attend. [21:52] Much improved printing this time, BTW. ;) [21:52] oh it looks like act II is up. [21:52] I've not checked in about a year. [21:52] That would be great, Antares. [21:53] the 2nd episode definitely is better than the first :) [21:53] VCF E looks to be in a sort of out-of-the-way location...? [21:53] Yes, Steve, Act II is full of action. [21:53] I really do exist. Ask Jim Brain. [21:53] VCF East is in Wall, NJ. [21:53] * Moloch enjoys ST:New Voyages [21:53] I'm watching now.. [21:53] * Bryan can't wait for VCF east 4.0 ! :) [21:53] harris' accent bytes. [21:54] Very odd that the organizer is not making more of the CBM people being there. [21:54] does VCF E have a web site? [21:54] Balzabaar> did you see my post on the vintage-computer.com forum bout connecting to Cottonwood? [21:54] maybe if they each brought a CBM PDA he'd do something about it? [21:55] http://www.midatlanticretro.org I believe. [21:55] www.vintage.org [21:55] or what RobertB wrote [21:55] Vintage.org has not been updated in months. [21:55] BRB. [21:56] Bryan... No, I haven't been on there in a while. [21:56] Did you have a problem? [21:56] nothing on VCF site about it that I can see [21:56] Sellam hasn't updated it yet.. :( [21:57] did sellam update it for VCF 9? [21:58] Hmm, team that made Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is working on a new film called Iron Sky -> http://www.ironsky.net/index.php [21:58] not sure... [21:59] that was the one I was thinking of Pirkinning... [22:00] Yeah, new version of SW (imperial edition) is coming out with the help of Universal Studios [22:02] great action in act II [22:03] * Oldbit re:wants your C= terms (http://www.petscii.com/terminals) [22:03] hey was there ever a VIC-20 video display or was it always meant to plug into an RF modulator? [22:04] 1701 monitor? [22:05] a white 1701? [22:05] My VIC20 book shows it connected to a TV [22:05] yeah.. my original box does too. [22:06] I was just wondering. [22:06] there is a picture of a VIC-20 monitor that I've seen but the consensus is that it was a prototype [22:06] I'm back. [22:06] I hope so. [22:06] ahh.. OK thats what I wanted to know PJ. Thanks. [22:07] In Japan, Commodore sold a VIC-1510 monitor for the VIC-20. [22:07] Yes, you can connect a composite cable to a monitor with the VIC-20. [22:07] Check out this photo: [22:07] http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/200510/03/82/a0023082_16494395.jpg [22:07] Been there, done that. [22:07] Of course I know that can be done, we're talking about something different. [22:08] ahh thank you. [22:08] Different? [22:08] Thats the one I am talking about then. [22:08] and the white joystick too. [22:08] * IceB-[B] (~ice@adsl-69-152-199-75.dsl.fyvlar.swbell.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:08] yeah, that is the picture I was thinking of also [22:08] and the white datasette.. everything white. [22:08] Hey, Bal. [22:09] I liked the vic-20 aethestic. [22:09] err.. I still do. [22:09] OK so it loooks like the 1510 was a production display [22:09] ya, my MSD looks better with the VIC20 than it does the C64 [22:10] its probably harder to find one than the VIC-1540 though [22:11] I could've had an MSD-2. Missed it by " " much! [22:11] I got a free one at the Chicago Expo [22:11] one of the two mechs was bad, tho [22:11] You could still have one, Antares, if you sign up for the CommVEx raffle. :-) [22:12] Our mechs work. [22:12] what as the model number on the white joystick? [22:13] Hiya, Golan. :) [22:13] Can do. [22:14] I got a few of those years ago with a VIC20 purchase, but they didn't have a box...nothing marked on the joystick itself [22:15] Item location: 198320 , Russian Federation [22:15] same with the paddles [22:15] w00t [22:16] I've bought stuff from Russia before [22:16] they tie the packages with yak hair string, it's kinda cool [22:16] haha, nice [22:16] I collect former Soviet Union cameras, so once in awhile I buy one directly from Russia or Ukraine [22:16] I only have a stereo-image camera from the Ukraine. [22:17] Robert's Drean came in a gunny sack [22:17] :-) [22:18] With very little padding. It's a wonder that it survived coming from Argentina. [22:18]
