In some stretches, I was doing the speed limit, 80 on the small side and doing 95 on the high side keeping up with traffic, then when I hit Arkansas on my way back last night, the speed limit is 60 at the max, and a cop got me at 75 and me and him just sat there talking for a while because he knew somebody I knew and we just talked about stuff and I reminded him that the speed limit in Dallas is 80 and he said yeah and you get here and you have to slow down to 60 and there's nobody around you for miles... I said yeah and there's at least 200 cars around you in Dallas. I was going to take a photo of this collision repair shop outside Dallas that was getting a huge overhaul The place must have been on 20 acres of land and still wasn't big enough they were adding more buildings. Crazy But I know how to drive in that kind of traffic. being on the west coast for 30 years and dealing with the LA traffic is kind of similar.

+mizapf Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Toll roads ... do not really belong to my everyday street experience. (Well, yes, I'm German.) OK, trucks have to pay for using the Autobahn, but they are billed electronically. Normal cars are not bothered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toll roads are great for people who do not want to pay extra in taxes for features they will not use. For instance, here in Florida we in northern Florida did not have to pay for the turnpike which runs across the middle of the state. If you use it, you pay for it. There are, of course, arguments to be made about the corruption that follows when the money free-flows. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went bankrupt a few years ago. the only good thing about it I never seen a cop on the road and the max speed is 85. not usual to see people hitting 100, not that I would ever do that of course. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly before "the tollway" paid itself off, they changed the rules to allow the operators to, I believe, engage in creative bookkeeping to hide the tollroad being paid off. Shortly afterwards, a metric buttload of toll projects all started. I hate it. DEATH TO THE TOLL ROADS! A POX UPON THE NTTA! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's right. Hi @GDMike / @RickyDean There is much more (all packed up): https://www.ebay.com/usr/ronvankl_0 TI99VIDEOS (with EBAY indicated in front of it, that is working before I packed it) https://www.youtube.com/@Globeron-TI99VIDEOS/videos Correct the Myarc Geneve 9640 is my system (it is the complete system, PEB box + Geneve + Rave99 + HRD3000, FlashFloppy-USB drive, 3.5 drive, plus OSSC for output) reason I ship it all together, because it took me some time to learn it and to get a stable video-output signal 15 KHz (very sharp with OSSC) I video-ed that all is working before packing it all in boxes... and then DHL asks me to unpack it and re-pack it in their boxes 🙂 (and agree with you ... eBay, gee what a system and complicated setup for international shipments, but I think I have it almost under control, expect shipment costs for books, papers, as they lock it at USD 20, while my shipment costs are higher for this material, see DHL attachment - Zone 3 for USA and Europe ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I was able to test the monitor that I picked up with the TI PC from Dallas recently. Since my original monitor for my other TIPC wasn't working I was hoping that this one was good on my old system. And fortunately for me it turned out to be a CGA monitor that sold in Dallas along with the TIPC and it turned out to be good on my old TIPC system. So now I know for a fact the monitor is out on the original system which my friend is going to look at for me next weekend. As far as booting up or trying to boot up the machine I bought in Dallas I haven't done it yet. Edited October 28, 2023 by GDMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 All seems to be well today, so I felt like I needed to find something to kvetch about. https://ebay.com/itm/305264690280 Eight commons for $35 plus shipping. What bothers me the most is that some people will be paying about double what these common cartridges should be going for. Everything is worth what someone is willing to pay, I guess.

Definitely quite a few interesting items in the lot. The Editor Assembler keyboard template for the 99/4 is definitely on my personal want list, as are a lot of the DataBiotics cartridges and the odd little Navarone cartridge sitting above the Super Demon Attack cartridge in the cartridge case in the 12th picture. . . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
