Hi everyone... I'm just getting out of a funk in which I didn't play any
games for about 6 months (with the exception of a few MAME titles), and now
that I'm back in I started wondering what the rest of you all are playing.
Trying to figure out if there is some sort of common denominator that us o

Wow, I missed a lot today. Stupid business-use-only Internet rules...
Assuming the rest of you haven't already beaten the subject to death, let me

though I disagree with his view. Let me use an extreme example to
illustrate
Hugh,
I understand your point of view, but I merely wanted to state mine. This
argument isn't indeed about stepping on toes or hurting friends, because we
don't do that to each other (stepping on toes may happen accidentaly, but
that's it), but about saving each other serious cash.
I'd like to r
True! You are absolutely right. I think it's hard to determine a bidding
pattern or behaviour when it comes to competing with other collectors. Maybe

Pedro,
This is going to come across as harsh, but please don't take it that way.
I'm not angry and I don't harbor any bad feelings about you, but this is the
plain facts:
This argument is not about stepping on "friends" toes or hurting feelings.
This argument is about saving money. Your whole r

Pedro,
I don't know why you consider sniping "backstabbing" (see your previous
e-mail). It is the most truthful method of bidding there can be. You bid
what you want to pay...period. It is up front with no devious, hidden
intentions.
Talk about backstabbing...that's exactly what you're propos

Some weeks ago Dan mailed me with details on installing and running
Basilisk2. With his permission, I'll post them to the list so he doesn't
have to write them again.
