Okay...  This isn't Rick Astley, but it's an 80's "one hit wonder"...  I think this is a great song...  The guy that sings it is oh-so-corny...  but check out those dancers! 

-Andrew

LOL yeah, back then, ther was only one set of dancers man, the SOLID GOLD dancers ;-)  First episode is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwzLQ-ekGt8&feature=related

The first pilot episode is here: (Part 1 of 3 ;-)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0nrdRyxULI&feature=related  Ahh now that was TV worth watching...ROFLMAO

Now how awesome is that huh?  Excellent find man.  Guitar Hero on a C64.   Now THAT rocks!!! ;-)

Ok, don't panic, the very first thing to do here is simple, get me an "It's twin" cigar and send it to me. ;-)

lol I remember when I was thinking just that 7 years ago.  The first thing to do is to get the big wheel turning.  By big wheel I mean the "feed, change diaper, day dream about sleeping (cause that's gone for a while lol).  Best thing I can tell you is stock up on food and diapers. 

some kids react weird to regular formula if your kids have a hard time sleeping (night or day) well even after a week, might be time to consider soy based formula.  It did wonders on my son and my daughter both. 

Oh and get used to waking up for night feedings.  ;-)....

This looks like an awesome book from what you're saying.  I can't wait to sink my eyes into it. ;-)

Me, I'm more into application building, sounds and music.  I like to create function user interfaces (text or graphics) that hopefully makes things easier and quicker to use.  For many cases this doesn't imply a necessary use of S.A.A. standards specifically in the field of C.U.A. sub standards (Commun User Access).

I don't mind a game or two, but gaming is not my forte on computers. ;-)....

well if you're on ebay, you'll find this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Commodore-64-GEOS-Writers-Workshop-Abacus-Becker-Basic_W0QQitemZ130199252857QQihZ003QQcategoryZ74945QQcmdZViewItem  which includes becker basic. ;-).

I'll see if I can find it, I have it in original disk form at my sister's where I stored my stuff.  but it's not here where I am now..

Lol, I'll let it go for now.  but I'm warning you, if history repeats itself, and we end up fighting against atari XL, apple II and the like forums, I WANT THE POWER!!!!  lol

Congrats all, ;-).  well deserved I'm sure, cept for xlar54 maybe with the recent demonstration of a  power trip.  LOL.

LOL well that's exactly it.  And I'm not in denial of my vic 20 no way... *secretly clicks the link above* ;-)  my problem right now is should I joine denial vic 20 or vic 20 anonymous?

Hello, my name is MystikShadows and I've been using since it first came out.  It all started back in .... (consciensously spares the gory details of lifeless life lol).  etc etc...but there's no anonymous groups anywhere around here. maybe I should start one LOL.

I thought it must have been one of rhe more complete and detailed games available on the vic 20 in the early 80s.

Map of the world, anti missile destruction, you name it, it had a whole lot if gaming features, very impressive for a vic 20 ;-).  It came as a cartridge so maybe it had a ram expansion in it hehe.

Nice link, you're right.  I think indeed this place could use something like that, as well as and basic memory map (summary maybe, and other stuff like that. :-).

Airship, do you happen to remember if the CBM-IIs you had offered something better for data storage back then? either a db system or random access files (binary files maybe even)?  to speed up data searches and reporting?

Indeed, that would have really been something. I can already imagine the possibilities :-).

Not sure if it's a problem with your palette file or if it's with vice..  But I followed your steps, started my c128 vice...change the palette etc...then I hit F7 and ALT-R to go to the 80 column mode and the text was yellow isntead of light cyan.

I like the fact that you said Commodore AND Amiga...if they come true, I'll have a 128 and an amiga ;-). Not to be selfish or anything of course, but some people here have 3 or 4 128s and all, I figure one of each is a very modest request ;-) LOL

Just wondering three things ;-)>

1. Any new development to report?  a fixed bug, an addition to the todo list? ;-)>
2. What are the 2008 goals with it?
3. Early 2008 imeans what to get your site up and running? ;-).  ehe.. I can't wait to go play in your PDF background ;-).

Yup, it's giving me problems when running, doesn't seem to be the exact same thing at the same time, it's flaky...:-)....hard to say what's wrong in a sentence. ;-)

I agree, it should have with those kind of numbers, especially back in 1985.  My guess is the amiga was better in features which stole the 128's success streak.  it's really all I can think about. too much Amiga publicity on the amiga helped the failure too.

Now there's one I never heard of about at all ;-).

Where does all this come from? hehe.  They're way cool.

Another good one.  lol...did you have to experiment to get those from somewhere, a stash of magazines hidden under your rug in a trap door. ;-).

Man I wish I knew all these people abd more of you guys ...I've been in commodore computing but I guess I stayed more in my bedroom than outside networking and making contacts lol.  how old do you have to be before you're considered a hermit? lol.

I'd like to know more about everyone, I know bits and pieces left and right and all.  Would you all mind telling me about yourselves?  Who you are, when you first started programming commodore computers, the computers you had, the stuff you prefered doing on those computers, the public events you attended, you know, things like that, you can refrain from giving me pants and shoe colors and sizes.  LOL.

Just to get to know you guys a bit more. ;-).

LOL actually, you might be interested to know (or not lol) that ISO does have a standard date and time format

it's called ISO 8601  and you can read a summary of it here http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html ;-)

Nice trick, I used to just not do code for them, I never knew you could actually turn that off. ;-).  one for the books ;-)

Where can I get little compute people so I can give it a test run?
