So, first whoops, should have attached it in the first place. Google took me in while avoiding the front door otherwise I should have read his FAQ. But second, if he has changed some pic links to XXXX rated pics then that's what has triggered all the nannies I guess. Also he has been doing some blocking because of scammers using his pics on eBay, so that might be involved too.

Focus FK-2002 Tastatur mit "QWERTZUIOPÜ+" layout and Deutscheindustrienorm plug, jawohl.

Shame about the broken (detachable) dust cover, but otherwise in excellent condition.
Shiny red "ESCOM" branding that will go nicely with one of my machines of that honorable name.

Nice, crisp clickediclacks, I like them a lot.
Those are "white Alps" and that's not a skiing resort.
Would you like to know more?

Interesting feature for switching "Strg" and and the "Feststelltaste" aka. ctrl and caps lock. Would move ctrl to an easy "pinky" position in touch typing.
On the upper right:

Made in Taiwan, the Republic of China.

Also just in:
Intel VX socket 7 mobo, MSI-5137 or P54C TR6.
Yet another norse god to dethrone.
Nothing fancy, but actually the first K5 on the heap. Boring chip, but the AMD equivalent of the vanilla Pentium, so nice to have.
And one more sound card with ALS100 and one more variety of YMF-262 but not YMF-262.

This just came in yesterday. Hopefully the cpu arrives soon so I can get started putting together a P4 Win98 rig.
Mobo is a Intel D865GL mATX board.

Sounds reasonable. But the fact the plain domain itself "dodgegarage.com" also can't be loaded (I just checked) suggests it's a broader issue than simply a blocking of direct links to JPEGs. A traceroute stalls at 20ge-po7.usi-cr03-mtka.usinternet.com and it's all "no reply" after that.

I'm having no trouble loading it

So far in this thread, some users from Belgium, Germany, Australia and New Zealand (among others) have found the site to not allow access.

It is not browser-related, as even operating system network tools can't connect to the domain.

However, one Australian user said he can connect. So, is it a geoblock? or perhaps a whitelist? I don't know.

All I know is, it's obviously a common trait of this particular site, that many people from all over the world have their connections refused, for unknown reason. 😁

Others however, like yourself, can get through. So, it's a mystery. 😁

hasta la vista, baby

That's either the Best, or the Worst, object I've ever seen. Genuinely not sure which. 🤣

Wow that's quite the lamp. That would be fun in a game room

lemme help you out there: It's the best, obviously.

Now, can we get back to discussing fossil hardware? I've got an awesome new keyboard!

We really should be allowed to post image reactions. They say an image is worth a 1000 words after all...

Tell me about it.
Every time Meatball posts another pic of some awesome 3dfx gear, I intuitively mean to upload a meme of an Jerusalem inmate ca. 30 AD, stating his general opinion on people getting spat in the face.
But I guess it's just an unperfect world.

I'm quite surprised and somewhat saddened, I used to be able to visit it without any issue but haven't in a long while now.

Maybe this is the reason:

The domain was sold. Does anyone have a site backup I can snag?

I've completely lost track of where and how the whole confusion started.
Next time, just save that photo to you hard disk and attach it here. After all, Mark Zuckerman has earned a pair of golden testicles by essentially that process, only simpler.

Concerning that dodge site - eye cancer risk aside, but if it doesn't work somewhere, that's probably because it does not work.

And, never mind the great cars or 3dfx swag on there, too bad, but turns out, the author is a fascist. So maybe let's not link there, at all.

Well, someone does.
But I'm not awarding that wingnut any more page impressions.
