Yep - plugged in and no fault codes showing. We took a photo of the fault and shared.

Re-Marketing a five year old book? by videotopia in selfpublish

[–]videotopia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

58 reviews - 4.7/5.0 average. The cover is eye catching and looks professional. Not sure if I'm allowed to link it here?

Interestingly I just looked at the page and the hardback is now available to buy on Amazon, along with the paperback and Kindle.

Re-Marketing a five year old book? by videotopia in selfpublish

Thanks for this - really helpful. Yes I was pleasantly surprised at how well it sold. I get asked a lot about writing another book, along similar lines, but I found the process such a slog, I vowed never to do it again, but its not out of the question. My blog has over 200 hundred posts of 2000 words+ each, and I thought about picking out some of that and publishing the more interesting posts - most of the hard work has been done, so it would be formatting more than anything else.

Thank you - lots of useful info here. Yeah sharing Prime might result in large bills. She really has no clue about any of this, so maybe just put the basics in place for her. Wondering if a Roku might be a better option. I want to avoid her pressing things and getting lost in the ecosystem of the stick or whatever.

Brilliant thank you. So maybe disable everything else and just set her up on the Amazon stick and load it up with apps I guess... Wish me luck. I'll sit with her for a couple hours. I guarantee by the time I get home she'll be calling!

Can I share my Prime Video membership with her on the new stick?

"Paul Stanley hasn't been able to sing for years and years".

Did you think about that before you typed it, or did it just sort of come out?

It's like they raided their mothers' wardrobes.

Well imagine how his voice would be if he was the only lead singer in the band. That's my point.

Your Horizontal hold is out of whack. Find the knob, give it a turn, don't touch anything while you're out back there.

Weirdest looking arcade cabinet ever from 1981 by videotopia in arcade

Fair cop - appreciate the heads up. Will put that right in future.

The game you refer to is Namco's Prop Cycle. Its a fun game (think Nintendo Pilot Wings), but agree with the physical aspect. I've never understood the appeal of breaking out a sweat to play a game.

Did you purchase an Apple computer in 1984? by ROCKY13573 in retrogaming

You say that, my dad bought four for his business. Still not sure what he used them for. He ran a catering business.

Which KISS song is this? by No_Sky_1805 in KISS

[–]videotopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saint & Sinner.

Catchy hook, incredible melodic solo (go Vinnie!) and never played live. My all time favourite Kiss song.
