VIC-20 coffee mugs on eBay

Post by CBR125R »

I thought these mugs were cool, though with shipping to Canada from the UK they are expensive.

I have thought about it for the last week, and finally broke down and ordered one this AM.

Nice!
I'd rather have one that had useful information on it, such as the 6502 instruction set and timings.

I got a note on my wall saying:
C = 0 : reg < OP
C = 1 : reg >= OP
because I always forget which is which (must be due to my age...)

I definitely need that on a mug!

Hehe, my "Machine code for the Commodore 64" (Bruce Smith) always has a bookmark stuck on the page with that info.
Wouldn't the complete list for the mug be?:

C = 0 : reg < OP
C = 1 : reg >= OP
Z = 0 : reg != OP
Z = 1 : reg == OP
N = 0 : reg >= OP
N = 1 : reg < OP

You british have been damanged by too much tea. I'm from one of the countries on the world that drink the most coffee per capita, and I can assure you that this size cups is perfect for coffee. ;) In fact, most people i know drink coffee from this kind of cups. I mean, how do you consume a liter or more a day if all you use is those cups your grandmother puts on the table when serving whatever pastery grandmothers serve?

Ack! When I was in England last year, I forgot to order the VIC-20, C64, and Amiga versions. I could have packed them in my suitcase and brought them to the states.

In L.A. for the SCCAN meeting,

I've been researching a trip to London this year. May catch the Olympic games. Nothing set in stone yet.

Being from Italy, I don't agree :) . These are tea cups, whereas this is the right size for coffee.

I bought a couple of Commodore mugs, one C64 (now a pen holder) and one VIC (my tea cup at work).
