[20:46] Andrew said he'd be here, eventually [20:46] ...Standing By...

[20:47] What is going on tonight [20:48] I'm looking at details about a radio show called I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again. [20:48] Your guess is as good as mine. [20:48] * Q-Link (~qlink@spoof-F9F35691.ltshosting.net) has joined #c64friends [20:48] Entered QRoom: Balzabaar [20:48] Wow Six is not even here? [20:48] Howdy Balzabaar [20:48] {Balzabaar} Hello! :) [20:48] Ya, Six has a new job [20:48] Evening Mr. Wiskow, sir. [20:49] {Balzabaar} Hiya, Antares. [20:49] One hell of a hot day here. [20:49] Did you get it all read Balzabaar? [20:50] {Balzabaar} Yup! Thanks... :) [20:50] This past week, I was so exhausted after work, I usually went to bed after dinner [20:50] {Balzabaar} Hmmm... The list of who's here isn't coming up here on Q-Link. [20:50] Meteor shower tonight and tomorrow. [20:51] {Balzabaar} Antares: Yeah, I heard about that... I'm going to have to watch for it... :) [20:51] Did you try using //who [20:52] {Balzabaar} Oh... duh... [20:52] {Balzabaar} hahahaha [20:52] {Balzabaar} That worked... [20:52] :) [20:52] Maybe some distance FM or VHF TV tonight. [20:52] {Balzabaar} I had flashbacks to my Q-Link days... I was pressing F7, then selecting to list who's here. [20:52] Ya, that doesn't work in the irc auditorium [20:53] should be able to see who shows up after you tho [20:53] {Balzabaar} Yeah... It's all coming back to me now. ;) [20:54] {Balzabaar} At CommVEx was the first time that I joined the IRC chat from inside Q-Link. [20:54] {Balzabaar} I haven't done it since then... [20:54] Ya, it's pretty cool for that truely retro feel [20:54] {Balzabaar} My work schedule normalaly doesn't allow me to be here at the right time. [20:54] gives you an idea what Q was like during the heyday [20:55] {Balzabaar} Yeah... Now if I could just go into Club Caribe, or play in Rabbitjack's Casino... ;) [20:55] back then, most of my chat time was being used on GEnie [20:56] {Balzabaar} I was on Q-Link from 1987 until 1990... It was already beginning to decline at that point. [20:57] {Balzabaar} I had a lot of fun in Club Caribe, though... I had built up quite a nice collection of items... [20:57] {Balzabaar} ...by the time I left... [20:57] I tried to get on Q at one point, but when I found out the MSD drive couldn't load the prg, that's when I chose GEnie [20:57] {Balzabaar} I turned it all over to one of my best "Q-Friends". :) [20:57] When I got a 1541-II, I tried it for a while [20:58] {Balzabaar} Hmmm... I never knew that Q wasn't compatible with the MSD drive... [20:58] {Balzabaar} But then again, no one I knew had one... [20:58] ya, I even called the tech support, was told it wouldn't work [20:58] I'm like, duh, ya, I knew that already... [20:58] I was hoping for a more positive suggestion [20:59] {Balzabaar} Yeah, tech support was pretty hopeless... Not much different now... ;) [20:59] {Balzabaar} You'd think they would've released a version that was more compatible with different drives. [21:00] {Balzabaar} When I joined, they had just moved from v2 to v3... I guess there was a v4 later on... [21:00] ya V4 is what I got with my 64C [21:00] {Balzabaar} I need to find that program that allows me to change the color scheme here... [21:01] I've got that somewhere....SuperQ [21:01] * JavaUser (Javauser@spoof-5A69352D.tampabay.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:01] I didn't get my first 64 until after Q-link was gone.

[21:33] {Balzabaar} ...probably because more memory is used up with the custom charachter set. [21:33] SNAAAAAKE!!! [21:33] {ShadowM} ohhhhh a snaaaaaake!

Venezuelan Beaver Cheese is, like its supposed progenitor, non-existent. [21:46] {Balzabaar} Although this delicacy appears to be entirely fictional (Venezuela has no native beavers).

And I'm driving a U-Haul truck back... I could take some more stuff [21:57] {Balzabaar} if you left any.... ;) [21:57] Got all the C= stuff I need for now. I need more room! [21:57] Left QRoom: ShadowM [21:58] The gentleman still has about 2 dozen 1541's and an A500 set-up with hard drives. Also monitors. [21:58] Got 10 computers here and eight more back at the wife's. [21:59] All C="s or a mixture? [21:59] I could use an A500 though. [21:59] Mixture. [21:59] {Balzabaar} Robert: I'd gladly help him clear out the rest. ;) [22:00] Can never have too many '41s! (they make creat building bricks. [22:00] O.K., Andrew... but I like the A500 set-up. [22:00] You can have all the 1541's and monitors. [22:00] I like '1541's. They keep me warm in the winter. [22:01] Ooo, they must be running too hot. Heatsink them. ;-) [22:01] I keep the window open in the winter done to -20 F. [22:02] {Balzabaar} Robert: Don't much care for Amigas... but I'll be driving by Visalia on my way back to Moreno [22:02] {Balzabaar} Valley... So I could drop it off for you, if you like. :) [22:02] When is that, Andrew? [22:02] No comments on ECCC? [22:03] Not in the budget to go to ECCC. [22:03] {Balzabaar} I'll be flying up to Portland this next Friday. [22:03] <--- going to ECCC [22:03] {Balzabaar} I'll be heading back on Monday with the U-Haul truck, by way of Astoria. :) [22:03] Oh well. [22:03] Flying? How will you pick up so much stuff? [22:03] Oh, I see. [22:03] {Balzabaar} So I should be by your area on Tuesday or Wednesday... [22:04] {Balzabaar} My parents are giving me a bunch of furniture... That's what the trip is for. [22:04] {Balzabaar} They're moving into a smaller house up on Whidbey Island in a couple months... [22:04] Does anyone have " The Word, according to MSD " ? [22:04] {Balzabaar} They don't have any kids living with them anymore, so they don't need as much room nor furniture [22:04] {Balzabaar} anymore. [22:05] Hmm, sounds familiar, Snog. [22:05] Well, I will look up the info of my contact in Portland, Andrew. [22:05] I emailed a contact a long time ago, a few times, but haven't heard much since then [22:05] {Balzabaar} At this point, I can't honestly say how much "extra" room I'll have in the truck, though... [22:05] Still waiting for him to find it [22:06] {Balzabaar} This isn't the old repairman in Portland you're talking about, is it, Robert? [22:06] {Balzabaar} (His name escapes me at the moment) [22:06] No, Andrew, this is a different person. [22:06] Mr Carlson. [22:07] Jim Scabery of Portland is still selling his C= stuff and not giving it away. [22:07] {Balzabaar} BRB... I'm being paged on my BBS.. :) [22:07] Ray Carlsen is up in Ethel, WA. [22:07] Oh. [22:08] {Balzabaar} No, not Ray Carlsen... You know who I'm talking about, don't you, Robert? [22:08] I have a couple MSD disk images on my website has utilities and stuff, there may be some texts on it... [22:08] I left him a 1571 to repair plus I gave Ray the C= parts that Charles Gutman didn't want at CommVEx. [22:08] Like I said, the person in Portland is not Jim Scabery. [22:09] Methinks I'm going to call it a night. Gonna look at the sky, then check 20 meters on the "black box". [22:09] Bye, Antares. [22:09] I'm going to go too, I just dropped in to say hey ("hey") and get back to cleaning the computer room. [22:09] {Balzabaar} Jim Scabery... That's who I was thinking of... Thanks. :) [22:09]
