One time a while back I had one of them calls about a virus on my Windows machine... The delay was a good indicator that it was an overseas toll call... So that means they are paying the bill for the toll call.

I've recently got quite nostalgic for the early 90's era of PCs. I am in the process of putting together a Windows 3.11/MS-DOS based 486 PC to explore games and software from that era. Here's a tour of my 486 build so far.

We thought you would like to see a video of the behind-the-scenes work from the past few months regarding the new THEC64 Microswitch joystick and the full-size THEC64 keyboard. A lot of effort has gone into making both as close as practical to the original hardware we all loved back in the 80s. A video can only show so much, but lots of progress was made on both fronts and hopefully that comes across here.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ: I am looking forward to this product to be released here in NZ in December. However I won't be buying one straight away, I will wait a bit to see if the updates fix the expected issues that normally happen...

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.
I like Lego I can not lie... I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.
I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego". Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind these iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.
I don't have a huge number of sets. The above set count are only those sets that have been made and registered. There are several still not made and or not registered or listed here. Also the brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, or non Lego sets. However there are quite a few sets I want before the retire and a few I want that are due to be released.
Current sets to be made are;
| Set | Description | Theme | Pieces |
