    I can understand the photo being blurry if they either didn't have good equipment, or didn't know how to use what they had. But for it not to even be centered in the frame? You gotta wonder how or why that would be considered acceptable to anyone...

    Cropping is your friend....

    Remember the old days when you shot with film, got your prints in a few days, scanned them in, found someone to host them, then had an eBay auction?

    A couple nights ago there was the most spectacular full moon and a turquoise sky
    It took a few trys with the camera and telephoto to capture the exact look, but judge for yourself

    I punched holes in cards and a reader punched paper tape with them.

    Maybe the lighting is good by the kitchen sink. The seller obviously hasn't a clue.

    I had the entire string of Commodore products- I upgraded my VIC20 to the 64, then upgraded the 64 to a 128, then upgraded that to the Amiga...

    Never did much with coins on them, though...

    Wow, talk about a walk down memory lane. I remember Pong too! And my atari 2600 was stolen in a house break-in, but when insurance paid off my dad, we got the new Atari 5200!

    I know this is going OT, but I'm enjoying this!

    I spent 17+ years in the video arcade business, the last 9 with Dave & Buster's...during that time, the game graphics got better while the games themselves got worse. I miss the old games. My brother still has a working Commodore 64, and backed up all the discs we had a few years ago (surprisingly, most of the discs from the 80's were still good!). He was a very successful C64 programmer during that era...he sold several games to Compute's Gazette magazine (remember that?).
