[13:13] <rick_h_> how goes it down your way?
[13:14] <cmaloney> Eh, it goes
[13:14] <rick_h_> heh
[13:14] <cmaloney> hoping to make it out to the CVGA to drop off more video games
[13:14] <cmaloney> calling the doc to schedule an appt. because I'm getting old.
[13:15] <cmaloney> Fun fun
[13:15] <cmaloney> and this is the last week before launching something for work
[13:15] <cmaloney> which is always fun times
[13:16] <rick_h_> wheeee
[13:29] <Scary_Guy> hi
[13:42] <mrgoodcat> hi 2u2
[14:00] <cmaloney> Hello
[14:21] <jrwren> CVGA? drop off? are you purging your collection?
[14:23] <cmaloney> jrwren: Donating parts of my collection
[14:23] <cmaloney> Stuff that is more hassle than it's worth to keep. :)
[14:26] <jrwren> cmaloney: go a list? I know a guy who collects.
[14:26] <cmaloney> jrwren: 's OK.
[14:26] <cmaloney> I'm looking more for folks to get some use out of it
[14:26] <cmaloney> and this is in line with one of my goals - opening a museum
[14:27] <cmaloney> keeping the stuff that really interests me
[14:27] <jrwren> ah! I see.
[14:27] <cmaloney> and giving others a chance to experience this stuff first-hand.
[14:27] <cmaloney> Stuff they might not see otherwise.
[14:28] <jrwren> yup. Well, Mike is into cabinets, so if you have any boards or cabinet parts. He restores those and runs them. Otherwise, he's probably not interested
[14:28] <cmaloney> Yeah, I know some collectors
[14:28] <cmaloney> it's more hassle than it's worth. :)
[14:29] <cmaloney> Keeping the big machines. :)
[14:29] <jrwren> I agree.
[14:29] <cmaloney> (and the Amiga, because it's awesome, and because the spirit of Jay Miner lives on)
[14:29] <jrwren> whoo hoo!
[14:30] <cmaloney> But the 5200? I'll never play it and most of the great games got ported to the 8-bit
[14:30] <jrwren> but... rare!
[14:30] <cmaloney> (and most of the games started on the 8-bit)
[14:30] <cmaloney> Meh. :)
[14:30] <cmaloney> Rare because those controllers suck
[14:30] <jrwren> haha! yup
[14:31] <jrwren> I think the amiga ports are compat with atari sticks. have you played any amiga games?
[14:31] <cmaloney> Yeah, I have
[14:31] <cmaloney> Amiga is awesome.
[14:31] <cmaloney> I wish I would have figured that out a long time ago
[14:31] <cmaloney> but the commodore hate was palpable.
[14:32] <jrwren> I understand. I much prefered Atari, mostly because the basic on 800XL had drawing primitives.
[14:32] <cmaloney> Wel, the Atari 800 was a great machine
[14:33] <cmaloney> unfortunately undocumented until later in its life
[14:33] <cmaloney> Stupid Atari
[14:33] <cmaloney> They did some pretty bone-headed maneuvers
[14:34] <cmaloney> And I never got around to picking up an Atari ST
[14:34] <cmaloney> Though I think it's because I was saving myself for Linux. ;)
[14:34] <jrwren> ha! same here.
[14:35] <jrwren> so glad I never programmed on DOS 16bit and that segmented memory insanity
[14:35] <jrwren> well, I did, but not much
[14:35] <cmaloney> Yeah, I played with it and found it ridiculous
[14:36] <cmaloney> "how the hell should I know what my 'hello world' program needs"
[14:41] <Scary_Guy> php7, apparetnly :P
