nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 5:03 pm I was looking at it and I'm like man why do I feel like I should know what that says. I was in computer science and electrical engineering for a number of years before I went back into finance and accounting. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6538 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 6:17 pm One of my colleagues set the decoding default for all internal memory buses to DEADBEEF. When you were debugging things in the simulator, your eyes and brain pick it out immediately as a real word from all the background noise. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelguy88 Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 10/26/2023 06:59 am I had debated on making a setup where a machine would first sort copper vs zinc pennies and then running the copper through a machine that would separate the wheat pennies, indians, etc from the memorial pennies. This would have been worthwhile back in 2013 when I went through 980,000 pennies working on the Wheat cent. After having went through some boxes at the beginning of this year and watching RobFindsTreasure on YouTube I don't feel that system would really be all that beneficial. He's at 750,000 and still needs 26 wheat pennies to complete the set. I needed 14 more when I quit at 980,000. It would have saved me a ton of time, but just like the issue with all coin roll hunting, getting the coins is easy, getting rid of them can be the challenge. Report this Post to the Staff

Typical Commodore computer owner! I never had any formal computer training either, but ended up teaching programming in high school b/c I was qualified and there were so few people capable of it. I taught some programming night courses, did computer repair, designed a couple small circuit boards, hacked hardware, wrote a couple tech articles, cleaned systems for friends etc. etc. The good old days! Quote: Or should the R be a 6? 4F is correct as has been said. A friend of mine and I used to hand write correspondence in ASCII. By writing letters back and forth, having to look it up on a chart became a time wasting annoyance. It was a way to force the brain to remember the code. Not hard. Just fun practice. So while the chart is something I have not looked at in many years, my fingers still need to learn where the keyboard letters are!

My Commodore 128/1581/1571/1541/1750/1084S system is still running and gets plenty of use for much needed "downtime" on the weekends. Sorry to get sideways, nickelguy88, but we get sentimental sometimes.

I miss the days of Windows XP and an overclocked CPU in the socket 370 so I could pwn noobz on Halo PC My fun was not so much in playing the games as it was conforming the game to my wishes. I used to go into the code and find a way to make myself invincible, give myself all attributes etc. That was before cartridges were made to do the same thing. I know jbuck will relate to this one: You should have seen how happy I was the first time I ran through the robots. I still have that version someplace. Still a classic enough it can be played online: https://impossible-mission.krissz.hu OK...back to nickels for me How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6538 Posts	Posted 10/26/2023 5:22 pm nickelguy, do you mean some kind of AI rig like the Numan by Tim Rathjen? Honestly, sorting through a million pennies for wheaties seems like a giant waste when you can buy them in bulk for like 3x face value (iirc). Could you ever get a decent ROI on such a machine, versus just buying the coins? Ignoring the fun of building such a machine, of course! =) I would personally use such a system to break out all the dates and/or mint marks for manual searching of the important coins.
