You realize that was a 6 year old post you replied to, right?

I happened to be searching through some old posts, and came across this from 2010:

Dear world:
All I want is to find a copy of Brian Bagnall's "On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise And Fall of Commodore" for a reasonable price. EDIT: Do you realize it's about to be reprinted in hardcover under a slightly different title? I feel that a follow-up is justified: Shortly after posting that, I managed to obtain a copy of the original via Inter-Library Loan, from a library in Berkeley, CA. (Yes, ILL still exists.) I spent the better part of a week's worth of evenings sitting on the sofa, watching Battlestar Galactica, with my flatbed scanner in my lap, my old laptop to my right and a rum & coke to my left, scanning the entire thing into .TGA files, which I then hand-cropped and compiled into a PDF. I printed a copy of the PDF (thank you, duplex printer at work) and took it to Kinkos to have it spiral-bound as a gift to the person who had recommended it to me, who had also been unable to find a copy for himself. I have decided to make that PDF publicly available, because fuck Variant Press right in the goat-hole. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vhsqefevso...odore.pdf?dl=0 I did, in fact, purchase a hard-bound of the second edition for $21 shortly after its release. And it's a good thing, because a new copy, today, sells for $2,799.99 (plus $3.99 shipping.) Yup. Two thousand, seven hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents, for a book published seven years ago. That's nearly a whole months' rent for my previous apartment on the upper-east side. I ain't shitting you: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0ca68f036f.png This book is consistently proving to be even weirder than the history of Commodore itself. |

I'm no longer certain that Richard Hammond is mortal.

It was a 2.5 hour drive to work this morning from my girl's house. Ugh.

Lars, don't you have like 7 miatas? I'm sure she'll be able to drive at least one occasionally.

Thanks. Probably no miata for her any time soon. She has a crappy old Kia that she is going to keep driving until it is dead. Then will get my Mazda2 most likely and i'll goto a ND.
Edit: And Congrats! Even though she gets the new car and I get the old car, married life is dandy. |
Congrats! You could get her a cat! ;)
