Interesting Auctions http://auctionsponge.com/ Interesting Auctions en Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:30:01 -0500 Interesting Auctions Colecovision Video Games http://auctionsponge.com/colecovision-video-games-va7 You know you're getting old when the stuff you remember from your childhood is listed as "vintage" on eBay. :-) <p>One such memory is the Colecovision game system. It came out in 1982, and so it has that inimitable 1980's electronics styling that involves lots of sharp corners and black high-impact plastic. It used ROM cartriges for games and could also play games made for the Atari 2600, which sounds kind of like an advanced capability for back then. Nobody ever made anything to work with anything else when it came to computers! The controller you held in your hand was a twisty joystick thing and it had a numeric keypad like a telephone. <p>Since it used your (ancient, non-HD) television for display, it used one of those lovely RF Adapters with the video-TV switch we all knew and loved. In terms of graphics capability, that life-like 16 colors @ 256x192 resolution was a thing of beauty! You kids today are spoiled. :-) <p> You know you're getting old when the stuff you remember from your childhood is listed as "vintage" on eBay. :-)

For devotees, Wawa is practically a religion. For people who've moved out of the area, they're a legend of mythical proportions. I know the location of the nearest Wawa to my house, even though it's over 500 miles away. If I ever get a very serious craving for a perfectly crafted hoagie and some fresh Kona blend coffee, I know exactly what route to take! :-) <p>I see a number of people are selling Wawa t-shirts...what a great way to have a little bit of the Wawa deli spirit on you when you can't be around the real thing, right? <p> If you've lived in the Philadelphia area, you're no stranger to the Wawa phenomena.

Does this sound familiar: "Light's out! Argh!" *whack* "Now it's back." "Darn, the light went out again!" *whack* *whack* :-) <p>Since everything is solid state you don't need to worry about burning out the bulb, and the light they put out is so much better than the yellowish glow from an incandescent bulb. If made correctly, the battery life is a LOT longer too. <p> These new LED flashlights are light years ahead of the flashlights I used to take camping with me. Does this sound familiar: "Light's out!
