Opinions are like assholes though, everyone has one :) Yeah i would love to find a better burger of course but yet to find one. I tried many of these fancy dancy places and still have yet to find one. The only exception is ex wifes brothers wife who made home made big macs that tasted miles better then a mcdonalds big mac. :) That woman is of course satan though, so yeah i will stick to inn n out.

Edit: Gonna try the Habit next time i visit Ventura : ) Been wanting to go since 2005, idk i always went to INN N OUT or Taco Bell for a Chalupa and Baja MT Dew or Burger King for the Rodeo Cheeseburger. Many times i went to Frys for computer hardware and right after i went to the Burger King cross the way :) Good times.

Closest thing to a 2600 i ever had was this $20 find of a commodore 64 with floppy disc reader keyboard and monitor. I had the "zero at read memory" error which i believe meant the ram module was shot and a new one would need to be soldered back in . I lacked the skills and then donated it a good friend who worked at a second hand store.

I made jokes when i found out this thing was shot, like lets take it to best buy and upgrade the ram so vista could run on it. Cause we all know how bad vista was off on system requirements.

my cousin had the vic20...I remember typing in the code (about 4 or 5 pages worth) from some magazine (i think was called Compute! but don't quote me on that) into it for a game (like atari's breakout)...had to save the game to a cassette recorder....ah...the good ol' days....

The second hand store next to that one had a vic20 that actually worked, they wanted like $80 and when i got paid and could afford it the thing was already gone. This was shortly after i donated the c64.

Edit: the closest thing to luck with old stuff was buying a brand new in box $50 Asus P4c800-e Deluxe back in 2006. I had a 7800gs agp in there before a entire rebuild to a e6750+8800gts the next year. :)

Hmm, most TV's for the last 10+ years do not have an analog tuner since all channels are digital these days.

FYI: Even if you don't have a Playstation 4, you can play a lot of Playstation games on your computer using the "PS Now" service & a controller: (DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller, can connect via USB)

* $10 a month or $60 a year (online multi-player is included in the price)
* 800+ games (PS2, PS3, and PS4 games available - some games rotate through & are only available for a limited time)
* PS Now app for Windows download page (streams in 720p in stereo sound - you get full-resolution if you download to an actual PS4 console)

You don't need much in the way of specs to play stuff:
