Not fair, not fair !!
« on: July 31, 2007, 05:28:33 pm »
This lady, Saskia, is selling a brand new Galaga/Ms.Pac cocktail table.

Reason she sells it: SHE WON IT !

http://verzamelen.marktplaats.nl/automaten-overige/106833885-pacman.html

"But it's taking up too much space" (Sounds like a woman to me......)

Funny thing is she won't respond to bids under €2700,- since this thing's new price is about €3200,-

This one has been adverstised before, she's not going to get that kind of money for it....

HAHAHAHA, I expected that ! :)

I wouldn't trade it for the world !  :D

I meant I would have liked to see someone winning a nice cocktail like that who is actually interested in classic arcade games...not necessarily me  :D

This is irritating.  Like when some 90 year old lady wins the lottery.   :angry:

Looks like she is down to $2,500 E (How in the hell do you make a Euro mark with a US keyboard?)

I think you have to use the OS special symbols table on a US keyboard.  Or cut and paste one from someplace else.

Look up the character code in the Character Map (it's under All Programs -> Accessories -> Systel Tools). Then either copy paste it from the tool, or once you know the character code, hold ALT and type the number code into the numpad. Now release ALT and the chβrβctιr appears.

Better yet, hold down the alt key, and then on your numeric keypad (not the number line) press 0128, then release alt.

Don't you just hate it when you try to be funny or clever and then there's a typo?

On a Mac, it's option-2 (and that works on a US machine, bought mine there.)

I don't know about the US, but it's right alt-5 here on Windows.
