I replaced my laptop a few months ago.
Windows 7 using Firefox to view Atariage.

I keep myself signed in here so I don't have to log in over and over, and for another reason:

When viewing new posts to Atariage threads I had previously viewed,
my old computer's Firefox would "remember" exactly the last post I had viewed,
and would automatically take me to the last page of the thread--already scrolled down to the new posts.

My new machine ain't doin' it!
I'm thinking it has to do with a Firefox security/cookie setting or something, but I can't seem to find the right one.

Anybody figure this one out before?

Recently got a Vectrex with Scramble and Star Trek carts. Only Scramble worked(and of course the built in Minestorm).

Ordered VecMulti microSD flash cart from Richard Hutchinson and have been enjoying the hell out of it!
Many awesome homebrews and all the rest of the library--awesome!

Anyway I got a little bored and decided to go deeper into making the non-functional Star Trek cart work.
I had already cleaned the contacts like crazy so I opened the cart and voila! I found a corroded trace right next to the cart connector.

Scraped a little bit and soldered a jumper around the corrosion and...ta-da! It works now!

First ever successful cart repair for any system for me!

The Vectrex rules! I have wanted one of these systems for nearly 30 years.

Now if that one guy will whip up a few more homebrew light pens(crossing my fingers for CGE 2011!) I will have fully satisfied my childhood yearnings. Man but I am dying to draw on the screen of my Vectrex!

Gotta mod a genesis controller for 2 player goodness as well. Anybody got tips for easiest/best way?
I have done some research but was curious about others experiences.

Anyway
one happy Vectrex owner signing off...
