don't knock the atari. those are hard to come by. :\

also, nailbunny was my sister's laptop, but when she got her new one (Chise), nailbunny became my mum's laptop. it's a little old, a little slow, and it has trouble holding up its head, but other than that it's a solid computer. :3 (however, it has a "genuine notifications" popup on startup, considering the copy of xp pro i installed on it was cracked..... >>; )

Dude!  How much did he want for it!?  The 2600 is a classic of the gaming world!

The 2600 was classic. I have two of them lying around, although only one is in full working order

Also, I've actually used all 5 main members of the fleet at the same time (This being a few weeks before Sonata joined). It was a wild network party, that's for sure

if you don't want it, you can call it my christmas present, lol. or more like stew's christmas present. xD

I need to post pictures of my brother's retro computing collection

I think Choco would drool :p

Chocofreak13

i might. :3 but i'm not too much a retro computer buff, at least not like bella, stew, and a bit of red. :3

currently dual-wielding laptops, as well as a very upset and beeping desktop that's being used as a power slave. so in terms of OSes, that would be windows 7 and windows XP (as well as GothpodII and Timmy, who's destiny is windows 95).

(HOMIGAWD TIMMY WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP).

I had the chance to by a 2600, Colecovision, Genesis, some other SEGA, an N64, another Gamecube, a handful of Game Boys (advanced, color, original) at a flea market right before I left the Ferry.

Well, I'm doing some tinkering with VirtualBox on Fuuka, now having two boxes setup on it:

- Windows 2000 SP4 (Used for Paint Shop Pro 4, Word XP, and because Windows 2000 in a proper widescreen is beautiful IMO)
- Ubuntu 8.04 (It's there just because I felt like it, although I plan on upgrading it to the latest version of Ubuntu later on)

There used to be two others (XP Professional [Unregistered] and NT 3.51), although I deleted them after an experiment to make XP look exactly like 3.51 ended up killing both.

@Stew: If you want a Sega Genesis, I can easily hook you up; they are quite easy to find in my area

i should try emulating once this new semester thing blows over. :\

Emulation is fun!  Though I mainly use my Gameboy and Apple ][.

I couldn't, the Colecovision alone would have set back me back a week's pay.

Chocofreak13

if i were you, i would have at least gotten the guy's email, so i could save up for some of the items. :\

I doubt its going anywhere.  They had a couple hundred games for each too.
