moved to room Meeting Place
changed username to Boxer Justin Daniel B.: eating cookies BobS: hi justin Boxer Justin: Don't panic, I'm here! BobS: ok Boxer Justin: Hello there. Judy: hi, Justin Boxer Justin: Hello Judy. Boxer Justin: What are we talking about? Judy: Richard not being here yet Boxer Justin: Now who's Richard? Daniel B.: It took me 6 hours to clean up my desktop pc keyboard. I needed to use a screwdriver to open it and be able to unclip the wrist rest thing attached to it, and each key wasn't easy to pull off. BobS: and Daniel sneaking off and gettign juice and cookies without offering us any BobS: richard clee.......in Toronto, the 'other' ADAM supplier for the canadian crowd Judy: why do you need to take it apart is it that dirty
moved to room Meeting Place Daniel B.: I don't know how to offer cookies through the Internet... it's still impossible as far as I know. BobS: and just what did you do to the keyboard Daniel???? spill coke in it???
changed username to rich-c Boxer Justin: Ah, how many fans of Adam up there? Judy: hi, Richard BobS: yo Ricahrd, ya make it Boxer Justin: Speaking of cleaning, I need some more compressed air. BobS: I need some electronic cleaner rich-c: just for a minute, bob - checked in to tell you I will be along later BobS: got to get to Radio shack I guess Boxer Justin: What is electronic cleaner? BobS: ok rich-c: all teh gory details tehn BobS: see you in a while rich-c: ok - bye for now
rich-c left chat session Boxer Justin: Whoa where ya going? Boxer Justin: What did I miss? Judy: talk later then Boxer Justin: My gf was distracting me. Daniel B.: I didn't do anything wrong with my keyboard... just wanted to clean it... there was a lot of dust and other particles I can't identify. It's normal to get dust inside our keyboards... it seems un-natural to clean it ourself because it's not easy to pull of the keys like I've said earlier. BobS: must be Richard has something going on for a little while and will be back later Boxer Justin: I told her, "This is MY time. This 9 PM chat is an EXCLUSIVE thing.." :) BobS: you were growing DUST BUNNIES inside the keyboard!!!!!!! Daniel B.: sort of Daniel B.: maybe there are one inside your keyboard too. do you clean your keyboard sometimes? Judy: yes, some things are very important like chat Boxer Justin: lol exactly Judy BobS: heck no, just get a new keybaord Boxer Justin: As for dust bunnies, I don't grow 'em, they just show up. Judy: we don't allow them in here Daniel BobS: actually, what I do is keep ALL keyboards covered up so the dust does not get into them Boxer Justin: Sounds like the mushroom joke.. Boxer Justin: Remember computer covers? Boxer Justin: wow, those were the days. BobS: keep ALL the stuff covered so that dust doesn't sneak in Boxer Justin: I used to have one for my IBM PS/1 Judy: he does Boxer Justin: in 1990 Boxer Justin: Those covers were shaped according to the computer, mostly IBM PC's. BobS: got some.........keyboard covers (ADAM and homemade) on all keyboards, cpu covers over the ADAM printers and dot matrix printers Daniel B.: good practice to cover our monitor, computer, keyboard and printer ... but I've never seen one person yet doing it now. Boxer Justin: lol Boxer Justin: exactly Boxer Justin: I even had the anti-radiation screen for my monitor then. Judy: you haven't been in our basement then Boxer Justin: I love nostalgia, which is why I like the Adam so much. Daniel B.: I had a screen to avoid the light reflecting on the screen. Daniel B.: all gone now Boxer Justin: I'm curious if you guys have your Adam's set up or just packed away. BobS: tis like a computer museum........or something like that.......15 up and running at various times, probably another 12 sitting around Boxer Justin: Yeah, mine was an anti-glare, anti-radiation screen. Boxer Justin: Why don't we care for our eyes anymore?? Are these monitors radiation free now? BobS: have 7 ADAM's set up, including one hooked to a 386 to steal hard drive space and disk drives Boxer Justin: Wow, really Bob? Boxer Justin: I would love to see that. Boxer Justin: Have a photo? BobS: probably somewhere Daniel B.: Well, I have one Adam stored with a printer at one place. Another Adam, no printer, in a box. A PC tower with an Adam computer in it, stored in another box... and that's pretty much it. Judy: can't use it in a box BobS: Daniel, stored don't count......got to use them Boxer Justin: Daniel, when you say tower with Adam in it, you mean an emulator? Daniel B.: I need space so I don't let my Adam plugged or set up. Daniel B.: no no... it's a real mid-tower, with a real Coleco Adam board in it, that works fine, with a 3"1/2 diskdrive. BobS: Dale Wick had an ADAM tucked into a mini tower including data drives and I think disk drives Boxer Justin: What? Boxer Justin: Man thats awesome. Boxer Justin: I love to see this stuff. Daniel B.: I guess I should then bring it to the convention Boxer Justin: I am not an engineer, or even a around the house mechanic. I love to see how thats done. BobS: what we need to do is to put an ADAM into a laptop case......and then have plugins for disk drives and data drives Boxer Justin: Bob, so in that case, it's just a mod? Boxer Justin: I have seen someone turn a Commodre 64 into a laptop. Daniel B.: It's probably Tom C., the guy I'm talking about in my early messages about "let's talk about niad newsletter" and stuff. I've got all these Adam computers from him... and one of them is like a PC. BobS: yes Boxer Justin: Ah, wow. Boxer Justin: Hmm... Boxer Justin: Last week, I asked Bob about BBS's. BobS: what I need is TIME......still not enough of it........................... Boxer Justin: I know they still exist, but could a Adam hook into one, today? BobS: as far as I know, there are no BBS's to talk to..... Boxer Justin: No BBS for the Adam that is? Boxer Justin: Here's an interesting article, mentions a few that still exists. http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/161 Boxer Justin: I want to get the AdamLink modem and actually use it. BobS: well, IF there are bbs's, the ADAM can talk to them... BobS: it is a text based service, and ADAM can do that Boxer Justin: Hmm, interesting. Boxer Justin: Wasn't sure how software played a role, whether it did or not. I have never hooked into a BBS, the closet thing to that was Prodigy, in 1990 to 1993. BobS: befroe the internet became graphical, I was on the local fidonet (?) or whatever it was called, and actually surfed the internet when it could first be accessed BobS: ADAM doews not have a graphical interface protocal, so....... Boxer Justin: but it could still do a BBS, correct? BobS: could get onto prodogy, compuserve etc Boxer Justin: Well, I am a firm believer that anything is possible. That perhaps a browser for the Adam could be created. BobS: we even got on the internet at one comvention.......Ron Mitchell had a friend who was a provider and we could telnet into the net text based Boxer Justin: Whoa, explain that to me. Boxer Justin: I don't understand. Sounds interesting. BobS: the HUGE problem as I recall, was that the provider had to give you unbiased access to his connection in order to make it work.....and that does NOT happen anymore Boxer Justin: I found an article online about a gentleman overseas that made a browser for his Commodore 64. It worked. Boxer Justin: unbiased? BobS: I don't htink that the ADAM is capable of running the graphics it takes to surf today BobS: my P2 1 gb is losing ground fast Boxer Justin: Well, I would settle for a browser that was only text based. Boxer Justin: Text is everything, pictures and videos, I can live without on the Adam. BobS: the provider had to give you unrestriced access to his software and connection if I recall................................imagine AT&T doing that Boxer Justin: Hmm, I read ya. Boxer Justin: Well, if I were a programmer, I would design a text based browser, just because I could LOL Boxer Justin: Afterall, why use an Adam in this day? Not practical, but because we could. BobS: I just went to the website you gave.......interesting, and it was pointed out about long distance, THAT was a problem Boxer Justin: Yeah, I need to reread that article. Boxer Justin: First of all, that site is awesome. BobS: I called "Zonker" Bart Lynch's BBS in Kent, WA using zmodem on the ADAM as an automated call in to download and upload messages, then read them and replied to be uploaded the folling weekend Boxer Justin: Well, here's the thing, I don't worry about long distance.. I use a Magic Jack for my calls. If I could hook my the AdamLink modem to that, I'm in business. BobS: I even did a session on calling BBS's on the ADAM.......think it was about AC 08 BobS: about............1997 ????? Boxer Justin: You did?? Boxer Justin: Is there a transcript?? BobS: what does the Majic Jack do?????????????? BobS: there was a acript the ADAM would run to automate Z modem Boxer Justin: Never seen the commercial? BobS: yes, but can't remember BobS: and have not known anyone who tried one BobS: 'had a serial card mooked to a 1200 baud modem. FAST,eh????????? Boxer Justin: It's a USB device that you hook any landline phone to. So, gotta have a broadband account, computer running (LOL), then hook up the Adam to that :) Silly, but could work. BobS: HA Boxer Justin: REAL fast :) BobS: should......... Boxer Justin: I like my MagicJack. Boxer Justin: 20 bucks a year, all the calls you want!! BobS: we have satellite, so wouldn't work for us BobS: Voice Over IP BobS: the Magic Jack that is Boxer Justin: Well, I thought MagicJack could work over any internet connection. BobS: hmmmmmmmmm.....got dsl thru AT&T Daniel B.: I've a question... what is packcopy? ... Even if I don't have one, I've a pretty good idea what is copycart, but not packcopy. Daniel B.: I'm reading messages going on in the mailing list about packcopy Boxer Justin: Never heard of it. BobS: PackCopy was a data tape copy program written about 1984/85 by Darrell Sage of and early newsletter Boxer Justin: Could you copy from tape to disk? 5.25" BobS: it was a good program, I have used it, but it did nothave all the features of ournewere copy programs lik FileManager BobS: I think it could copy that way Boxer Justin: Nice. BobS: but not sure, got some copies of it around, but I alwasy use FileManager

Daniel B.: it's probably rich, yes BobS: Richard has to get a realiable computer mon BobS: and one that can spell too BobS: ;-)\ Boxer Justin: He have dial up? Boxer Justin: ;) BobS: no he has dsl thru tamcotec in Toronto BobS: richard likes all the anti spyware stuff and maybe he is overloaded with it Boxer Justin: ick, slows the computer down. BobS: you got that Boxer Justin: I stick with AVG and thats it. Judy: but the last few weeks he has been having an awful time getting dumped BobS: i even canned taht Boxer Justin: Clean out with CCleaner and Glarry Utilities. BobS: try to be REAL careful what I open and keep fingers crossed Boxer Justin: LOL Boxer Justin: I understand Bob, anti virus really does slow down the cpu, mccafee seems to be the worst. Judy: all emails go thru mailwasher and that helps Boxer Justin: mailwasher, hmm, never heard of that. Judy: Bob could tell you more than me about it Boxer Justin: well it sounds fairly obvious Boxer Justin: as to what it does. Boxer Justin: But, still, never heard of it. BobS: a guy in Australia I think does MailWasher; got it a few years ago and am happy with it....only cost 30 us $$ get updates as they come out BobS: looks at the mail, and I can delete on their site before I actually download what I want Judy: all email goes there and then you download what you want to save Boxer Justin: So their servers get effed up instead..

changed username to ron Daniel B.: CCleaner and Glarry Utilities? ... It sounds to me that you do visit "giveawayoftheday" web site sometimes. ron: rumors of my disappearance are exaggerated Daniel B.: ron6 ron: Hi y'all Daniel B.: Hello Ron! Judy: hi, Ron Daniel B.: I do use CCleaner quite often Boxer Justin: No, lol, I use Cnet alot. BobS: hey Ron!!!! Boxer Justin: Those programs have worked for me. ron: evening Bob, Judy, Rich, Daniel, Guy, Justin BobS: Justin needs to know HOW we got the ADAM on the internet from convention one year long time ago.................... Daniel B.: I did install Glary Utilities... a free copy because of giveawayoftheday web site. BobS: HOWS YOUR MEMORY Boxer Justin: I am running Windows 7, those 3 programs, and not a single problem. Boxer Justin: Hi ya Ron. ron: As I recall, there was a lot of wire ron: and Compuserve ron: and if we were lucky a hotel with more than one modem connection to the outside world Judy: and push pins Daniel B.: So many messages about copying Adam games I've never heard of before. ron: oh yes, don't forget the push pins ron: Compuserve provided the chat room. All we had to do was borrow somebody's account to get on Boxer Justin: Games, funny, that's the last thing I would use the Adam for. I dunno, more interested in the programs that were created for it. Boxer Justin: Like spreadsheet, word processor, etc.. Daniel B.: I'm a videogame programmer and I'm more a ColecoVision fan than an ADAM user. Boxer Justin: Although I did play the Buck rogers game the other day and was impressed with it, I mean, for it's time, that was a cool looking game. ron: Adamcalc, Wordstar, VDE.com, Speedywrite Boxer Justin: Hmm.. Daniel B.: That explains why messages about ADAM games interrest me Boxer Justin: Exactly Ron. Boxer Justin: I see Daniel. Boxer Justin: So have you designed games for Coleco? Daniel B.: We can say that, yes. ron: certainly can BobS: I want to say it was at ADAMCON 11 in Washington..........your provider let us take over his connection to call out on the ADAM Boxer Justin: For yourself or the company? Daniel B.: hobby BobS: I could swear it was out your way that we did it Boxer Justin: How do get them to work? Have them placed on a cartridge?
moved to room Meeting Place BobS: how's Susan doing ron ????????????????????????? ron: your memory is better than mind Bob. I was only the co-chair Daniel B.: I've about 12 titles done in cartridges, yes.
changed username to rich-c BobS: comeon richard. come IN BobS: you made it ron: Very well, thanks, Bob. She's pretty much ditched the walker now, and is getting about on her own power Boxer Justin: Wow, Daniel, that's pretty cool. You have a catalog? Judy: welcome back Rich BobS: cool no problems then, that is good rich-c: good evening again, all - and hi. ron Daniel B.: no because it's all sold out as soon as I finish them... and I'm running on very limited ressources. ron: No, it's gone ok. She still tires easily, but that's a case of building back her strength BobS: true Boxer Justin: Shame Daniel. Judy: tell her hi from us BobS: well Daniel has them......and you can run them onthe ADAM emulator on your ibm ron: I sure will rich-c: say hi from her vfellow hippie, ron Boxer Justin: LOL, I don't have an IBM anymore, I use a Dell laptop. ron: :) Boxer Justin: Although I would like to get my hands on a IBM PS/1 again. Daniel B.: Well, some of my games have been re-published by other people... and the coleco games hobby is growing in interrest since the time I've started. BobS: same diff Boxer Justin: The Ps/1 was an odd design like the Adam. You needed the monitor to turn on the system. BobS: laptop wil lwork rich-c: threaten to sue them, Daniel - those games are yours and protected by law Daniel B.: hi rich Boxer Justin: Growing? More people are into retro games these days eh? Daniel B.: that goes beyond simple interrest ron: I have not yet bought Windows 7. Resloved a while back not to buy any more operating systems unless I was buying a new computer Daniel B.: a community of programmers and designers are making new games year after year. BobS: Doug has it and is not impressed with it Boxer Justin: Windows 7 came with my Dell, so all is good. BobS: sucks memory really bad ron: exactly ron: Right now I'm into installing various distro's of Linux, and discovering what about each DOESN'T work BobS: have you visited Joe Blenkle's website Justin>?????? and downloaded Virtual ADAM for the laptop????? Boxer Justin: Wow, I can't say one bad thing about Windows 7. I'm able to video edit and chat with you guys no problem. Heck, I could edit video and watch a video without any problems. On my old Gateway, the video playing would stutter. Daniel B.: There is even one project for a Coleco lightgun, a Coleco dance mat, and new expansion modules. ron: Just what I need Daniel. A dance mat ron: ho ho BobS: well if your Dell laptop is set up with a fast enough chip and enoug memory, it shoudl handle it well Boxer Justin: I tried the virtual Adam. Didn't understand how it worked. I just liked adding more drives, lol, made my Adam look beastly. ron: Now tell me y'all Boxer Justin: whoa whoa WHOA! BobS: ok TELL YA ron: Does Virtual Adam work on yer Vista boxes? Boxer Justin: Whats this about a gun and mat?? BobS: Vista??????? only have XP Boxer Justin: XP to 7 is the way to go. Vista... yikes... BobS: Steve said that is why he wrote it Ron ron: works fine there Bob, but I can't get it to read a disk image under Vista BobS: not ANY?????? BobS: you got Steve Pitman's email?????? ron: the program loads ok, but will not boot disk images ron: No none and I've tried all sorts Daniel B.: the joystick port can't be used to get analog information, so more logic circuits is put in the lightgun to make it somehow work like the lightgun you may probably see for a pong clone system, or a NES console with game Duck Hunt. Daniel B.: the project is only started and no production done yet, but it's a real project. ron: yes, have already talked to him about it. He thought it was my permissions setup on Vista. Changed that, still no luck Boxer Justin: Since the Adam has built in Coleco, will those accessories work on the Adam? BobS: ask Daniel.....not me Boxer Justin: I did :) Daniel B.: As for a dance mat, the idea came from Commodore 64 fans who did a device to plug a playstation dance mat to the joystick port of a Commodore 64 computer. The same device should work (somehow) for the ColecoVision game system. BobS: I ama user and a tinkerer................................nothing more, nothing less Daniel B.: Technically, yes, they will work, except maybe the expansion modules BobS: Ricard, got news??????? you alluded to it previously.......... ron: And Justin, just so as you know, I know even less than ron: bob does Boxer Justin: I had seen footage of someone using guitar hero on a C64. rich-c: Daniel, I believe the original Amiga, before it was a computer, was a game with something like a dance mat ron: I usually discover what doesn't work first Boxer Justin: lol, thanks Ron. Daniel B.: that's exactly this device, yes. Boxer Justin: So Daniel is the guy to talk to. ron: Daniel, Dale and Dr. Rich Drushel Boxer Justin: I remember NEs had a mat for track & field. Guy B.: Ok folks. Still here. On my 8th burning. But, should be finishiing up soon. rich-c: sorry, Bob, no news - late because I have been feeling peaky and was off to see the doctor ron: Smoke over Chicago Daniel B.: Without the software part, a game to use these things, they are hardware projects. But like I've said, there are much more programmers and game designers than we think around the Coleco scene. ron: Daniel, where's your website these days? Guy B.: It's nice here. But, a change is coming ron: Looking for some of your material on C programming (again) Boxer Justin: Dang, I gotta get going guys. See you next week? Daniel B.: I've no more web site... planning to make one eventually... but there's so much things to do. Boxer Justin: Oh, I want photos of your set up Bob. ron: Nice to meet you Justin rich-c: night, Justin Boxer Justin: I'll take a photo of mine as well. Boxer Justin: Same here. Ron. BobS: kk Justin Judy: here also, was in the 60's yesterday and today but they are saying we may have snow this week-end ron: I get on here when the wind is blowing from the north and there's a full moon Daniel B.: However, I've a blog with my latest Coleco projects, including a kit to program ColecoVision games, that uses SDCC. Boxer Justin: Hey, that goes for all of you, if you have a photo of your set up (Adam & other vintage computers), show 'em off next week. Daniel B.: it's http://newcoleco.dev-fr.org/ Judy: what is the problem, Rich? ron: Got it Daniel, thanks

BobS: kind of silly to compress if that is the case Dale: Well, I think I was interupted by the phone. Daniel B.: Ron, just a supposition, if you did find a way to make it for the ADAMCon this year, what will you expect to see and did you wanted to talk about something? Dale: I assure you that I reviewed your document, and had a wish list for repeating bytes and so on. BobS: send it again Daniel Daniel B.: Dale, that's why it was an example... not a real case. Compression works better with a lot more than a single word. Dale: It does indeed. Dale: Yes, I'm just teasing you of course. ron-shotinfoot: Still favour an afternoon at Mount Royal Daniel. And I wouldn't mind doing a DVD presentation on something or other. Dale: I was trying to think of how it would do with my Jump Gunnar Jump image data. ron-shotinfoot: could send it to you, and you guys could throw darts at it for an hour BobS: you better be careful Dale, Daniel is getting relly good at pulling your leg and teasing too Dale: That'd be welcome Ron. BobS: you're ON Ron.......go for it Judy: but no darts at it ron-shotinfoot: pushpins? Judy: all out BobS: ok pushpins Daniel B.: If you do a dvd, send a copy to someone else, like dale, just to be sure we get one (if I forgot mine at home). ron-shotinfoot: :) ron-shotinfoot: will think about topics over the next few days and get back to ya's ron-shotinfoot: right Daniel BobS: how's my next week weather coming along??????????????????? ron-shotinfoot: windy, then sun ron-shotinfoot: cooler than normal BobS: want warmer than normal rich-c: recovering from the Olympics yet? BobS: been pretty good here lately and we are ready ron-shotinfoot: we shot that all at the Olympics ron-shotinfoot: the warm I mean rich-c: well, the Paralympics will appreciate it ron-shotinfoot: I watched the last part of the Gold Medal Hockey game, and part of the opening ceremonies. That was it BobS: why?????? ron-shotinfoot: yeah. Think they need more media coverage. rich-c: that's more than I watched - saw a bit of teh ceremomies since Frances had them on BobS: not interested in them? Judy: we watched all day and all night ron-shotinfoot: Basically, I want to see a financial statement BobS: we watched it everynight. LOVE the skiing and the bobsled and stuff BobS: gonna lose money, don't they alwasy????? ron-shotinfoot: suspect so. But the powers that be say no, it'll be in the black. rich-c: yes, but this year we're the ones losing it BobS: no way, njot after all the cancellations of grandstands due to the rains ron-shotinfoot: I do admire the talent and the ability of the athletes. What I object to is the business and politics of the Olympics rich-c: anyway, long as we win the hockey gold, no one cares about anything else ron-shotinfoot: Talked to a cashier at one of our local grocery stores. She had tickets for her and her two kids to go to Cyprus Mt for some of the skiing events. They all got cancelled ron-shotinfoot: She had a heck of a time explaining that to her kids BobS: the rains prettymuch canned the Cyprus mountain stuff rich-c: two of Frances' cousins were volunteers at the games BobS: shame, because it would have been a great viewing rich-c: and one of my cousins was an early torchbearer ron-shotinfoot: yeah Bob. They ended up flying snow down from higher elevations ron-shotinfoot: All in all, it was the warmest Feb on record, but NOW up there, they have lots of snow BobS: with hay bales underneath to hold it up ron-shotinfoot: figures eh? Judy: they did show us them bringing in the snow BobS: figures ron-shotinfoot: Mountains on this coast can have a mind of their own BobS: I guess BobS: like Mount Washington in July for AC15? rich-c: mountains usually do, and it doesn't pay to argue with them BobS: darn cold up there ron-shotinfoot: yeah. BobS: and the little whiskey jacks ron-shotinfoot: They should have moved the skiing to Mt Washington. A lot of the international athletes were using Washington for practice. Word was that it was great BobS: and the underwear tree ron-shotinfoot: 490 cm snow base ron-shotinfoot: oh yes... it's still there Judy Judy: go figure ron-shotinfoot: least last time I was up BobS: Justin was going to ask a really big ADAM question of Daniel...........did he?????? ron-shotinfoot: anyone know where Justin is located? ron-shotinfoot: first time I've seen him on BobS: Pennsylvania ron-shotinfoot: ah BobS: he is on the Facebook page ron-shotinfoot: ok ron-shotinfoot: We have a Facebook page?
