Does that show that all journalists aren't clueless idiots? I think it does!
Nice one! Hopefully my own appearance in a UK paper soon (it was supposed to
be 2 weeks ago) will be similarly well written. They took enough bleedin'
pictures, so watch it only be 2 paragraphs :)

It's the Independent on Saturday - they have a glossy inside that appears to
focus on collectability every week, though last week's said the mag was in
but the distributors forgot to include it!

Very good, Mike. Down here in Windsor we are finally getting our
science center and I have managed to get a few old computers on display.

Almost a year ago, April 24, 2003, the Toronto Star did an article on
collecting featuring myself and Kevin Stumpf. Even though the guy took lots
of shots in my basement, regretfully only Kevin made the big time, standing
in front of his ex-Ontario Power Generating IBM 1800. (Maybe it was because
he had a tie on and I didn't.)
We got the whole back page of the Technology Today section, well ... except
for a gigantic Canon ad. Kevin's site was mentioned as was my own
collector's list at Geocities (which everyone here should be on!)
If there is any interest, I could scan this aticle and put it up on my site
for a bit.

Newspaper real estate is valuable. They aren't going to do a full page
spread of photos unless you've blown the President or something. They
always take a zillion photos so they have a good selection to choose from
back at the office instead of having to send a photographer back if they
don't end up with the shot that they like.
