90% of my collection is civil war coins (2 cent pieces of course) I'm now thinking I've trapped thousands of souls, mostly of dead soldiers, in little 2x2 Mylar flips inside double row boxes! Oh no!  Could I be looking at a Poltergeist event horizon happening, my whole house sucking in on itself in a tiny black hole? That's what the movies tell me will happen.

Imagine the torment of being trapped in the innards of an industrial dryer...

So does this mean PCGS (etc.) are really encasing souls?  |

B5...to me one of the most incredible series ever made. BTW jbuck...did you know they used Amiga computers to make all of the graphics and ships?
At the time there was no other computer system powerful enough to make things like that. But...you would be aware of that. I mention it for the sake of all those poor souls who never knew/experienced a platform capable of what they enjoy nowadays clear back in the late 80s (that modern systems still could learn a thing or two from (architecture primarily and REAL multi-tasking...no slow down of anything onscreen)!

Right now it is limping along with 256KB of RAM. Yes, KB, not GB or even MB! My C128 has more functional RAM (640KB) than the A500! The board holds 2MB if anyone was wondering.  |

The board holds 2MB if anyone was wondering. Funny how I could run a powerful graphics program (including easily made animations), have my full function word processor in the background to switch back and forth, and run other apps if I wanted/needed...all inside that very roomy 2 Meg. So many things and advantages to those machines I still wish, at times, for their efficiency and rock solid programming/reliability (as compared to nowadays on Mac or Windows. These two systems have been slowly catching up over the past 2 decades or so, but still not quite there. I never remember getting angry at that old system for giving me problems. Until Jobs died the Mac had me mostly happy...now they are getting very sloppy and more unreliable. |

Come to think of it...I think they need to make a new commemorative Ike dollar for the 250th anniversary! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
