@mac84tv yep! Definitely noticed that. I remember back in the day that was one of the few PC brands that included it off the shelf.

Pretty good Flea Market day - picked up this Sony Vaio P4 machine for $10 loaded with cards. I know P4s are kinda mid right now, but Vaio stuff really catches my eye since they used to pack in so much extra stuff…

It has been a while, but tonight at 6 PM EDT Part 1 of the repair/restoration of this Atari 2600 will be live on my YouTube channel. I invite you to check it out and let me know what you think - I tried to be a bit fancy with the production, so I hope you all enjoy. :)

Did you guess how many capacitors fit in the flask at @BigBadBiologist 's table this weekend? Great seeing you there and chatting! :)

@mac84tv Hope I got some decent clips for you as well :)

I think this might be the most uniquely New Jersey thing I've ever seen (though I'm a transplant). I'm just trying to imagine this in today's age - I have so many questions. Seen on FB Marketplace - just had to share:

@mac84tv oh no, what have you done?

Rainy weekends have made hitting the flea a challenge lately. Threat of rain today but still a few vendors out. Saw this old Pong system and a really neat toy. The Think-a-Tron looks like an old room-sized punch card computer. Guy wanted $10 - I was super tempted.

I did pick up another item from the same vendor - he had a grungy Colecovision with a couple games and controllers/psu/rf wire and Atari paddles for $30. Didn’t have this system and if nothing else, I’ll have fun cleaning it up and taking a look inside. Hopefully it works.
