Denial

According to tracking info, I will be getting my VIC today. Here's hoping for the best...

Update: Arrived! Seems to work except I don't have a TV with old enough terminal connectors to connect the RF box to my TV... so is there a 5pin-DIN monitor cable that will work with my 1802?

Ontario? Hmm...I'll be in Ontario in July... but I'll pass.

I'm quite fond of my C16's appearance. Bread-box but dark grey. Nice.

Have you contacted the Toronto Pet User Group? http://tpug.ca

Not a member and they don't have a public store anymore.

Got one off ebay that claims to include all cords, a datasette, and a few carts. $49 plus shipping. Worth a try. It was working according to the seller. See if it's still working when it arrives.

Well... I'd love a VIC, it's the only 8-bit Commodore I don't have in my collection that I'd like to have (I have 2 64Cs, a 128, and a 16, all NTSC). But I can't spend more than $50 on it, as the household budget (3 kids 6 and under) just doesn't permit right now. Emulation is it for me right now. ...

No, I want a spare 64.

The excitement is palpable!

Still no way to change our usernames? Like to extract the "VIC" off the end of mine?

mind = blown.

Great job. I can't imagine building a computer from scratch.

That sounds like a nice bit of realism to me!

Genuine question-- if Lemon64 were to die permanently, where would the C64 community migrate to?

Serious, I'm just curious, if you are in the U.S. why would you want PAL System Computers? :? Charlie PAL computers can run a lot of software which the NTSC ones can't because of some timing and optimization tricks that work with the PAL screens due to difference in # of screen lines between refresh.

The VICs on there that ship to Canada seem to be either in the $200 range or untested...and cash is a little tight in these parts at the moment.
