Hi guys,
Would those of you with pictures of your Vic20 set-ups from the 80's, please post your pics. I want to fill in the white-space in my emulator, and want to see what sort of things kids had round their machines in the good old days.

A datasette, piles of old 60 minutes tapes with handwritten indexes and a ghettoblaster... some cheap carpet too.

Back when I was 12, the Sorel VIC-20 computer club, headed by Jean-François Lefebvre had a very similar setup.
Just replace the VIC-1010 by a Ramax and that was pretty much the only difference.
Only thing is, he was about 40 y.o.

I used to have a rotating selection of them on the front page of this website, but I didn't get everyone's permission and had to take them down. There are plenty out there.

On the 80s room executable Adaware found
"Backdoor.Win32.Bifrose.gnt (v)"....malware.

Odd, Microsoft Security Essentials and Symantec have both failed to detect a virus. What are you using? Do you have to run it for it to be detected?

I unzip the archive and extract to a folder on the desktop.
I then open the folder, highlight all the files, right click and select "Scan with AdAware" (well known spyware detector).
It returns a report that the malware has been detected in the .exe file.
Might be a false positive but not worth taking chances on.
