Excellent! Thanks for that link!  

anyone else hate the muppets who hide a virus in a downloadable file. I even scanned it and it came up clean! It's taken weeks to wipe my laptop and start again....

I don't know about Group 1.  Birthright boxed set, maybe?



Groups 2 and 3 have the FPG logo, which means that they are non-sports trading cards.  Various artists have had card sets released by FPG.

Reading this makes me glad I never got into online gaming that much:

86 stab wounds...and he denies that he murdered the guy.  What a nut job.

Don't show that to my 10 year old. He loves spiders and will want to get one to keep as a pet.

For all you Brett Favre haters out there:

Don't read it if you are offended by lots of vulgarity.  Pretty funny though.  Kinda reminds me of how I felt when the Cowboys signed Terrell Owens.  

Hilarious.  Especially the last full paragraph.

Or do other, better resources (paper, electronic, web) exist?

Just shoot yourself first....

Did you manage to get the Indian people at your hotel interested in running a pickup Eberron game or something?

As a teenager, we had an Intellivision, but once one of the handsets became non-responsive we were never able to use it again. Is this the sort of thing an electronics buff could tinker with and fix up?

The biggest problem for repairing legacy equipment is parts availability.  If you have a couple of the units to scavenge parts from/experiment with, your chances are much higher of fixing the problem.  In some cases, it's as simple as a blown capacitor (salvaged a 32" LCD tv for $23.50 after doing some homework online about possible causes for a power issue).  Most of the older video game equipment is solid but the controllers were the largest problem (given that they were the part that took all the abuse).  Without opening one up and checking it out (sometimes difficult due to "closed cases") there's no way to tell.
