cameras back on topic)

You are so right; carry on.
That reminds me, often when I am hobbying with my vintage computers I
can hear my wife watching TV in the next room. Can you believe what
happened on last week's episode of Lost?
This morning, just after walking past my Northstar Horizon, I read
today's newspaper. There was a really interesting article about Roe vs
Wade and how the aging supreme court is likely to have a lot of turnover
in the next few years. What is everybody's opinion on this vital subject?
Back in 1992 or so, I recall some character at work bringing in a floppy
for the Apple II. When nobody was looking, he booted it up. Lo and
behold, it was a very solarized, low framerate video of a certain sex
act. It was really technically impressive ... the programming, that is
:-) . Let's all talk about our pornography preferences. We must have
at least a few experts on the list that can share their insights.
Yes, this thread started on topic -- what camera is suitable/useful for
photographing the equipment of this hobby we share. That relatedness
lasted about three messages.
Since then 95% of what has come out has been war stories and shop talk
having NOTHING to do with vintage computers, other than the authors
happen to be interested in both and can't resist the temptation to
demonstrate it.
And before anybody else mentions it, yes, I do believe my infrequent
curmudgeonly posts to get back on track are starting to outnumber my
classic computer posts.
So, to help balance things out, if you've read this far, and are
interesting in paying shipping on a working dual head multiprocessing
Z80 turbodos system (from austin, tx, usa), let me know. Specifically
it is an IMS 5000 IS system. Preference goes to anybody willing to come
and pick it up. You are excluded from consideration if you have
authored any emails with the subject line "digital camera capabilities" *.
