One of my other hobbies is riding motorcycles, I don't know what it is other than freedom and the feel of the bike as you power on taking her through the back hill twisties. It is a feeling only a motorcyclist knows, and can't really explain it to a non-rider.

So making is not always creating something from nothing or making a cabinet from a plank of wood, it can be seeing various items and putting them together and making a new item. In this case, we bought some industrial-grade shelving units. This is not the cheapest option however it is a very simple idea and looks really good and gives a very industrial look.

GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System)
So what was GEOS? Basically put GEOS was an early GUI or Graphic User Interface for the C128/64, as well as many other systems of the time period, and became quite common on the Amiga systems. However, they did make a version for the C64 and the C128. Its target was more to the business user or the home hobbyist business. Think of it as an early version of Windows. In modern terms, GEOS was still operating in the early 2000's on the PC as a GUI for DOS... (2009 - August: Breadbox Ensemble Version 4.1.3.0)

Ok so I have a Commodore 128D, why do I need a Commodore C64, well while the C128 is compatible with the c64 (in C64 mode) it isn't exactly 100% compatible there are a few apps and games that it doesn't seem to like. (not many mind you) we are talking well under 1%...

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.
I like Lego I can not lie... and while 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 this 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.
The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered or non Lego sets.
