Ok, I threw in the Marvin the Martian Lego figurine. The pics show some of the build process (~1500 pieces) and then some shots of the finished product. Now, I just need to save up for the real thing. I guess I am going to have to get that paper route and cut lawns! LOL

So here it is. Decorated and functioning. The first things you see are some beautiful retro computers. I have not had much chance to power them on from their long slumber in storage (like 2 1/2 months). Maybe this weekend. But it is looking like home. Now to get some nice tables or desks instead of the 6 foot folding tables.

DarkLord asked about any BBSs that asked if you wanted 40 or 80 columns PRIOR to login. I said I would check because I thought Particles! BBS did. Well, I was correct. Please see the attached image.

I posted about this over on several sites and wanted to share the pics to give you a better view. Our first trip for 2022 is 4/22/2022 - 4/24/2022. Looking forward to getting her back out and enjoying that escape from reality.

As you can see, I get hearts using SyncTerm when typing in Southern Amis. I get them as the system does word wraps and backspacing.

It was like Christmas today! The FB seller contacted me that he was available so I could come to get the Atari 130XE he was selling. I got quite a haul - at least in my opinion. I got an Atari 130XE, 1050 Disk Drive, two joysticks, 3 manuals (1 for the 130XE, one for the 1050, and one for Atari Paint), power supplies, and a bunch of cartridges (including PacMan, Donkey Kong, Defender, and others). I ordered a replacement power supply and a monitor cable from 8-bitclassics.com.
