Entry 0810: Blog: 1

Hi

Time for a rest me thinks. I really have no more space
here. I shall no doubt add the odd one or two items and
respond to mails, but sadly, that is about it for a while.

Great fun I have to say.. And a rather large hole to fill

Happy days

Entry 0810: Blog: 2

Large, large gap sorry in activity due to my being very
busy at work and getting hooked on World of Warcraft
Before the short intermission I had been concentrating
on A500 cards and peripherals. I was most fortunate to
discover a couple of very rare cards in A500s. Also I 
acquired much better boxed versions of A590, A570 together
with boxed CD32. On the computer front I added a couple
of old data terminals, a number of portable classics
and a few ranges of machines otherwise missing from
the collection i.e The Apricot. Consoles had a few fillers
and the Famicom series finally benefited from the Disk
System. Loads and loads of disks this session and major
additions to magazines and software. 

Sorry for the delay, but hey... better late than never
Kinda a retro motto that... 


Deep breath time... This sessions acquisitions

21st September 2008 additions

Entry 0810: Blog: 3

Hi

I guess I knew I had to venture off into something else
at some time, and given my passion for computers it had
to be related. World of Warcraft is something I have
known about but avoided. Mainly cus of the graphics card
and processing power of a machine required. Anyway I was
gifted an old machine from work and banged in a NVidia
and set up the port and I was hooked. And I mean hooked.
When you jump into the World of Warcraft pond you never 
really want to come out. It really is one massive
adventure. The world is vasta and the movement around
is seamless. The quests are basic but they become ever
more challenging. What is the massive bonus though is
that you become involved in a truly explosive and very
active fantasy community. And WOW folk take this game
very seriously. I am now a Level 70 mage with Spellcloth
skill... A Level 32 Paladin and a Level 26 Preist. 
Getting the Mage to 70 which is the highest level was
a massive achievement. Particularly the Spellcoth
tailor skill.. Would take me forever to explain the
game. All I can say is if you ever enjoyed D&D this
is the place for you. Truly magical.
