    Funny message after Galaga high score entry.

    I just saw a funny message pop up after putting in my initials on Galaga. I’ve used WAR for my high score name since 1985. But since I bumped the GF’s name off the board I used ASS instead. When I finished I saw a funny message pop up for about 1-2 seconds, all in red. I wasn’t expecting it...

    NTE out of business?

    I just got word that NTE is closed permanently. (nteinc.com) Is it true? Does anyone have more information on this? They had ups and downs for years, and their parts were expensive (and of questionable merit sometimes), but at least they were available. I considered them a good resource for...
