It seems I may have jumped the gun here and complimented the site as a
'find' when in fact it may not be that???
Is information blinding us when sober thought produces knowledge and then
'truth' emerges.

Actually, I think it is, at least for some of them (the contributor is
"WebMaster"). The Commodore section has a couple of photos ripped off from
Secret Weapons of Commodore, and they don't even link back. One example is
the Commodore 232 entry, which even includes the same backplate photo Dan
Benson permitted me to use, in the same dimensions I cropped it to, with
the same serial number, as well as the rear ports image.

I think it's just someone ripping off other people's sites. The information
they furnish certainly isn't very compelling, and some of it seems to be
inaccurate. And, of course, the images aren't even theirs, at least in these
cases (I see newspaper scans and other things for other computers, tho').

I didn't see the original msg, whats the URL for this Vintage Computer
site... I find my images and content from atarimuseum.com constantly
commandeered by other sites and not so much as a simple text saying
"stolen without permission" ;-)

Thanks Sellam...
Yup, just as expected, several photo's taken from my site, old ones
too. Its not the case with this site, but have you ever seen the
sites that take photo's from your own site, then the site that steals
them put's their own watermark on them, that always raises an eyebrow
for the contempt displayed. Well, dispite this 1000bit site
plundering others to generate content to for itself, it is a nice
looking, well setup site.
