Marius Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 There circulate more small movies like these and I'm always a bit 'disappointed' that they almost never show anything with Atari Xl/XE eqpuiment. When Atari is named in it, it is about the 2600... which is rather cool ofcourse but not my favorite atari. But... for the rest: I agree with the man in the movie... he describes exactly why I like my Atari 8bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelmischief Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I can't believe they actually broke out the Barry White when she was soldering. That was sexy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+rdemming Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I didn't see any video. I use Flashblock, but even the ad to the right shows up as a "F" to click on, but no video! The video is not working for me either. On FireFox 4, it just displays the red animated circle. On IE8, the video says: "This content doesn't seem to be working. Try again later."

nathanallan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Not working for me, either. Firefox doesn't see a video at all and Chrome just shows the spinning circle. Is this on youtube anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Works for me; thanks for the post - I absolutely agree with the guy in the video. Loved the music to that bit... Edited April 29, 2011 by Havok69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The old ohm wheel chart from the 1950's that he's using, my grandpa was actually the manager of Henry's radio back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+rdemming Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Finally got the video working on IE but not on FF on a Windows XP computer. But on a Windows 7 computer, the video worked with FF. Strange. This bring back memories of the "Z80 micro professor" (see picture) we used at school to learn a bit assembly. Programmed by entering hex codes. A few years ago I bought one from a school's stock because they are not used anymore for teaching. What a shame. These things give you much more inside in how computers work that just firing up a Java IDE. The old ohm wheel chart from the 1950's that he's using, my grandpa was actually the manager of Henry's radio back then. I learned the color codes from head. In Dutch we have a mnemonic sentence to remember: "Zij bracht rozen op Gerrit's graf bij vies grauw weer" (She brought roses on Gerrit's grave in dirty grey weather). Each first (two) letter(s) of a word stands for a color, and the words are numbered from 0 to 9: Zij (she) = Zwart (black) = 0 Bracht (brought) = Bruin (brown) =1 Rozen (rozes) = Rood (Red) = 2 Op (on) = Oranje (orange) =3 Gerrit's (Gerrit's) = Geel (Yellow) =4 Graf (grave) = Groen (Green) = 5 Bij (in) = Blauw (Blue) = 6 Vies (dirty) = Violet (Violet) = 7 Grauw (grey) = Grijs (Grey) = 8 Weer (weather) = Wit (White) = 9 Robert Edited April 30, 2011 by rdemming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
