Was at a garage sale yesterday when I found an A8 power supply. Asked if they had the computer it belonged to, when they said no - but wished they still had their original VCS. Woman said she bought a Flashback, but returned it because it was nothing like the real thing. Was so disappointed. Gotta love those types of people! And by "those types", I mean normal... have standards and will accept no substitute.

Me and a mate both have heavy 6-shooters, and CX40 joysticks. His kids are 8 and 10 years old, and love his Atari. Too much, because it takes up his only CRT with RF, so he bought them a Flashback 8 Gold HD. Even his kids, after just a few hours on it, absolutely hate it. They hate the look of it at 720p, and prefer CRT, and hate the wireless sticks. So I told him to just buy another cheap CRT TV.

I have to thank the flashback for getting me back into Atari in the first place, but right now I'm using it to prop up a rickety shelf.
