I am in the big newpaper today about my vintage computer collecting hobby...no link to me or my site but one to VCF...

Hi Well I am in the big Montreal newspaper today but no link to me (email) or to my site... I guess the circulation of that paper is maybe around a million...(?) Headlines translates to english : "Computer Archeologists" (...) Photo of me with a TRS80 mod I in my hands and a Pet in the background and shelves in the back with some of my collection. I was counting on this to get me offers for new machines - dont think its gonna happen... They post a link to www.vintage.org (and others) but not to me (email or my site) ! What did I do? I was part of an article with a local console collector who runs a console/game collector club that I am part of. Most active members are big ebay sellers and the club site was mentionned in the article so I guess the webmaster/president of that club will get the offers for the maybe 1 or 2 interesting machines this article might "uncover"...and to ebay they will go...perhaps some of the guys should question themselves if the hobby is collecting and restoring or the "commerce" of buying and selling of that kinda stuff...one of these guys in the article even said he managed to live one year (in is car and eating once a week?) on selling carts and consoles on ebay...now everyone will think their 286 is worth $100 and an Atari 2600 is worth $120... Anyways, the article is in french. I dont know the legal/copyright implications of scanning and posting this on my site but Ill try to scan and maybe translate and post...
