What did you buy today.

[BarryB]

Wired won't lose power like batteries do, so if you're a multiplayer junkie in the middle of gaming session then the last thing you want is fucking about changing batteries!!

[dJOS]

I just ordered 5 ISA XT IDE boards and all the components to build them.

Should be a fun build, I only need one and will prolly sell the other 4 to my mates. Mines going in a Tandy 1000ex so I'll have to build a plus to ISA adaptor which it's pretty easy.

heh, it was on purpose - i dont like charging devices all the time.
just thinking of remote controls :/
but another cool thing: proximity sensor is "wireless" - close to the device
it switches off the lightshow - can be configured
and you can store a couple of configs inside the mouse - really cool device.
never ever again a overpriced and lousy logitech

@BarryB: correct, good point.

@dJOS why allways such huge images? use http://hostthenpost.org/
creates smaller thumbnails for forums - links to the bigger one.

It's a direct link to the pic on the site. This forum is the problem as it doesn't auto-scale images like pretty much every other forum does these days.

ah, ok. i thought it was a random image hoster, now i see.
and yes, there are options on that matter. some plugins for the forum software exists, scaling images on the fly.
maybe after the next maintenance

[Amiga1992]

Had a vacation in Japan and scored a GREAT deal on a Super Famicom set!



It's got some yellowing and other details but I don't care about any of that, I always wanted an SFC as I dislike the US SNES design a lot (and this was MUCH cheaper than the Famicom Mini I originally wanted to purchase on my trip. Prices are mental for those and sold out at most places!). I also got another official controller for it.

[Cpt. Hindsight]

1530 with an arduino mod.

Buttons (Play, Stop, Record, etc.) work like on the real device.

[klokwirk]

I just bought a Commodore Max computer with 4 games cartridges - and boxed ! yay
here it is...

[Amiga1992]

Holy shit, that's so expensive.

[NorthWay]

I just got a frame for my signed and numbered print of the Dragon's Lair Castle Pan (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/d...ovie-cartoon#/). That turned out to be larger than I expected, but all the better so.

Now to find a wall spot to put it up...

[nogginthenog]

A Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope. Always wanted one. It's been 20 years since I last used a scope at college!
Expect some major Amiga advances (or not !)

I'm off to build some 555 timer circuits!

[Stejjie]

I didn't buy this today (bought it a few days ago), but it came through today: a boxed Amiga 500, red LED edition, for £60 (plus p&p):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222475864804

I've only had a few minutes to try it, but so far it seems to work really well. It needs a bit of a clean and probably some retrobrite attention; and the left button on the tank mouse doesn't work (which isn't really a problem as I've got a spare mouse lurking); but I'm really happy with it. I never had a 500 but it was seeing my cousin's that got my desperately wanting an Amiga, so having one alongside my 1200 is fab!

My wife was less impressed though...

[trixster]

Finally got PDS:

[trixster]

Today I got an Acorn Archimedes A420/1 and a Roland MT-20

[drHirudo]

Mac Mini G4 to run MorphOS on it
[ Show youtube player ]

It actually worked, but I am not keen to pay for the software more than for the hardware itself, while the MacOS X for it is free.
