It did and I followed the roll of the Pound, right 'til it got stuck in the Paypal works somewhere. I just have to verify something in my bank account, wait their holding period and at last it should plop into the box.
I knew there'd be some kind of crap. There really should be some kind of demo transaction you can do to test the flow.
And thanks again. This should really cut headaches with the proper auctions.

I used to have this. Must have last seen it 25 years ago.
And away from my tat, a hard disk recorder may or may not be the order of the day. And with power PCs more reliable than ever, just watch the prices tumble.
Bugger.... my.... arse! Just look at those prices. Even I wouldn't have anticipated, and I never doubted the mass production power of Chinese sweat shops. Mind, these are refurbished but the prices still compete.
Yeah, you'd think the metal they're made of would be worth more than that...

And you'd also think that because you can handle a Laserdisc like a dinner plate, doesn't mean you should. Looking at ones I bought, I fail to see how they'll last. But then, the promo films did encourage people.
The other Mr. Wizard promo smeared ice cream across it.
And I found more nice ones too, like the Amiga on LD:
Though of course, Christmas could delay the acquisition of another Guitar Hero controller for my PS2. Unless my family would quite reasonably see me giving one as a present and then let me take it back because they can't use it.
Nice to know how the other side live. And to know the supermarket's dead handy for free packing, even the cardboard produce trays cut in half and closed up. Then wrapped in bin liner and taped up. Good solid boxes with nice re-enforced corners and everything.

Happy with that. Just needs to arrive;

Whoa, the Elite. And at just £300, a bargain for what it is. Fresh out of 300 Quids at the moment, sadly.
** EDIT: And it is bloody brilliant. You may not need buy an expensive set. And at its best it does sound really 'cathedrally'. I'm going to do what I don't normally and donate to this guy. **
Though I know I have some of that in my magazine discs.

Looking at that Sega disk must be interesting! I guess it just plays straight through?

Well if just video, I should think so. Odd whisking of slides and scenes I would imagine. Though if there's any kind of driver software, as on the BBC Doomsday thing, who knows what could happen. I can't see anything online about it so couldn't say for sure.
And this magazine's interesting. By the late '80s, a very delicious taste of life in the early today. (Beefy prices though!)
Website after website bemoans the lack of nice quality Nintendo or Ataris for sale. But then, they're American. But I dunno if we should be so complacent here. These could vanish any year now.
Retro stuff first, modern gear second. I never forget the extra niche uses anyway. As if programmers really had to stretch their imaginations to have these new advances perform more stuff.

Though I'm always losing these things. Good job they cost less than a cheap meal.
