|  Happy 2013!
Can't believe I'm the first one with this but here it goes anyway: a very happy new year to everyone  2013 will be another average year: worse than the previous but surely better than the next one!

Cheers Gaia and everyone else!
Indeed when you have little ones running about you tend to stay at home more over the New Year celebrations for them rather than your self. Doesn't stop you having the fridge filled with beer tho! Welcome to that club, I mean stuck at home with TV or computer on Gaia as the clock ticks over!  
I had the TV on.

MIK: believe it or not we actually went to bed at 11.50 right after having played cards with the grandparents, for the small one this was just another day I still had a slight champagne overflow though (which I never drink otherwise)...

Well, you had the advantage of being in Europe and reaching the new year sooner
Happy New Year to everyone

I've just eventually finished a new year postcard. It uses unusual video mode: border only graphic, NTSC on PAL. Sorry it looks ugly. I planned a better picture. I don't know what to do with gray dots---press a key to see them. Are there TED guru who knows how to evade them? It is silent. However it has 19 free CPU cycles for every 312 raster lines. Due to an error in the initial calculations it uses 3% slower horizontal synchronization frequency—this breaks Yape. Plus4emu and my tv work well.
This demo was ready to the XMas time. It was delayed due to necessity of test with 64k iron. The parcel with 48k RAM card went very slow.
This poscard is here—see at the end of page.

Neat stuff and congrats to your new piece of hardware, Litwr! On horizontal sync: IIRC Yape indeed has zero tolerance in HSYNC timing, since each TV and TV-card I had tried behaved differently I got fed up in the end and figured this would be the most "secure" option.

Nice demo Litwr. You win one internets for the first release of 2013 on Plus/4! Also, thanks for the greets
I'm surprised Gaia didn't mention this (he must have missed it in your posts), but the gray dots are unavoidable. They are color $FF really. Some clever demos use them to their advantage (e.g. "stars" on the border).

Did anybody have problems with video hardware running the demo?
BTW this demo forces CPU to run at 2.22 MHz! IMHO it is approximately 8 MHz z80...
[Csabo] What does one internet mean? $1000000? :-)
