Ever been like "Gosh, I wish I could remove this useless modem from my PowerBook 1xx series laptop, and install a platform to attach a remote SD card slot for my ! If only someone would make such a thing?"

It's me. I'm someone. @Thangs3D

Love is all around,
No need to waste it.
You can never tell,
Why don't you take it?
You're going to make it after all!

If an seller can't figure out how to use completed/sold auctions to set the price, and rejects offers based on that real-world price, just use the rest of your chances to send them $1 offers.

You were never going to get that item anyway, so might as well have fun with it.

You'd think that if these views were organic (and not simply paid for), that they wouldn't all be within a few hundred of each other... it's almost like his entire YouTube channel was just another way for @gwssrox to try and trick people into trusting him?

Would you have been friends with your parents in high school - IF they were lycanthropes? I guess they'll have to make 'Wolf to the Future' for us to find out.

Another video @gwssrox tries to make folks think he's endorsed by luminaries in the retro community. Rather that continue to fake views, you'd think he'd be focused on staying out of jail?

I was told by a manager at AT&T that I needed to provide a death certificate to remove a line from an account I OWN. Not a line someone else owns, an account that has been in MY NAME for nearly 30 years.

Maybe it's folks not understanding the situation.

Training fixes that.

Most enthusiasts have heard of the "MacTable" by the Danish company Scanco, but did you know they released a platform a platform agnostic version?
