There was a thread on the smartboys when they started selling again.  I considered ordering one, but decided to pick up another EMS since I could order these domestically, and there are a few other projects being worked on that may prove to work better for me than smartboy carts.

I do need to backup my camera though, so...

Of all the damaged and degraded screens I have seen over the years I don't recall personally encountering that before.  The stuff on the right looks like a weird frog headed guy jumping over something.  Blame that guy.

Screens dying really sucks.  I have many with various screen issues already, and last night while playing Tetris a horizontal line popped out in the middle on my main DMG.  I will poke around in some of them next weekend to see if i can fix anything, and if this screen is gone I may swap front boards with one I use mainly with a keyboard for lsdj.  I think good quality replacements are coming soonish...

Why do you think it might be weather related?  What has the weather been like where you are?  When I was younger I left mine in the car occasionally, sometimes in below freezing and very hot temperatures, but the screen always returned to normal after a while.

also, what herr_prof said.

Also, no rights are being infringed upon.  If you don't like the terms of use here, go somewhere else.  The mods actually go out of there way to treat people right, but this forum does have a topic.  I don't try to force discussions on violin strings, or military surplus deals I have found (or politics, or religion) because they don't belong here.  The moderators are trying to keep out all the spammers and hate mongers who try to disrupt the regular discussions.

Feel free to go out in public with your stupid pictures if that is the message you feel obligated to share with the world, and when your rights are truly violated then you can bitch about it.  Until then, no one cares.  Your threads are all still there for everyone to see.  Someone will contact you if they really care enough to discuss it.

oh, and yes, lurk more, post less.

I like this, especially Link. 

Do you have the kitsch-bent pastel yellow buttons in hand?  I have a question about the color.

DAMN IT.  I should have added one to my order.

This is a perfect example of all the issues I have been having.  For floppies I need double density, preferably 5.25 inch, since I have the drive already, but even a DD 3.25 readily available in stores would make me smile (even if they are in rough shape).  CF cards are available relatively cheap at present, but those are different than the ones for the 20 year old guy I am trying to use them with.  Also SD/SDHC/SDXC and mini/micro are the same problem: with lack of forward compatibility these SD carts are hard to feed in x years.
