I, for one, welcome our new exhibition overlords. Just doing some basic stuff though. Something for people to build upon, refine and make bigger. ;-) EDIT This is just a small sample of what I am working with right now. Hopefully some DB wizzard can sort my work out, when I am finished, in order to …

Yeah... Seems like a good idea, taking it the way of people contributing to the database and then just adding stuff to their collection. I am still working with paper and pen. When I am done, it will be handed over to someone who can simplify it and create a real database with tables and relations …

Started the absolutely basic outlines today. Keep watching. I will post my work for someone to take over. Actually making the initial basic outlines and then play the ball for all to jump in and take over. What do people say?

By the way, Artex, have you ever considered opening a retro museum with all the glorious mint/sealed stuff you own? :lol: Hah - I've thought about doing something . The problem is that this is kind of a niche hobby. If all the VOGONS members lived locally here, then maybe it would make more sense. …

Just saying. Everyone should be able to afford at least V1 to V3 cards. So yeah... Few on the market = Prices UP. For the bubble to burst, we need the next breed of retro heads to get on the track. Those who look at hardware from the late 00's to 10, as being what they used back then. Perhaps then, …

Well... When I bought my V3-3500 compaq edition, it arrived in non-working condition. Tried everything to get it to work, and as it was factory sealed, I guess it had just been sitting too long. I know another Vogons user from australia had the same issue as I did. So... At least 2 out of perhaps …

Yeah. Greenland is part of our state, yet they decide for them self. They own their own land. Greenland has the same status as Commonwealth nations. Real colonies are few, and not really any left on the global scene.

England has so many colonies, I guess they really kicked some butts back in the days. They did. Oh my... They did. And yet, they are the reason for Americans to drink coffee and not tea. Long story (read: "extra long"). Naa... I don't think that there are that many English colonies left. Australia …

I don't see how it makes any difference in cost to you, what he does with the stuff surely makes no odds to that? I kinda figure that as long as it's not going to the gold crusher or landfill it's all good. And if it makes the chap happy then who are we to judge? That I go with as well.... There …
