My wife saw your video, and said, "what's that?" I said, "It's this guy who has loads of old computers and makes videos about them." She shot me a very threatening look. I said, "you're safe, he's in Australia."

Time to upgrade $Wife ($deity, thanks a lot for you keeping me single, owner of my own nose, with my house full of toys and no boring gal to tell me what I can do or what I can have...Thanks a lot!)

Please. I like blue eyed blondies. Nothing against reds. Please, at least 1.70 and not too much chubby. How good is to have friends? :oD

For those of us who have given up hope, can we get access to the database of the INdecent women?

Sigh - that's what I get for making a comment based on my ever doubtful memory. The small Atari box I had remembered is just an RF switch, as the 2600 outputs a modulated RF signal just as the CoCo does. David Griffith's comment about the mod to give the 2600 the ability to have composite and S-video outputs is an interesting thought. That might be fun to look into some day. -- Later, Charlie C.

If you wanted composite video, you needed to open the case, and solder up an additional connector. The picture(s) in the manuals were of a switchbox, which converted from coax RF to 75-ohm archaic antenna connector. RS made a big deal about using such a switchbox, so that the TV could still be used as a TV, AND so that the computer output never got connected in parallel, providing it with an antenna. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
