You are so right; carry on.

That reminds me, often when I am hobbying with my vintage computers I 
can hear my wife watching TV in the next room.  Can you believe what 
happened on last week's episode of Lost?

This morning, just after walking past my Northstar Horizon, I read 
today's newspaper.  There was a really interesting article about Roe vs 
Wade and how the aging supreme court is likely to have a lot of turnover 
in the next few years.  What is everybody's opinion on this vital subject?

Back in 1992 or so, I recall some character at work bringing in a floppy 
for the Apple II.  When nobody was looking, he booted it up.  Lo and 
behold, it was a very solarized, low framerate video of a certain sex 
act.  It was really technically impressive ... the programming, that is 
:-) .  Let's all talk about our pornography preferences.  We must have 
at least a few experts on the list that can share their insights.

Yes, this thread started on topic -- what camera is suitable/useful for 
photographing the equipment of this hobby we share.  That relatedness 
lasted about three messages.

Since then 95% of what has come out has been war stories and shop talk 
having NOTHING to do with vintage computers, other than the authors 
happen to be interested in both and can't resist the temptation to 
demonstrate it.

And before anybody else mentions it, yes, I do believe my infrequent 
curmudgeonly posts to get back on track are starting to outnumber my 
classic computer posts.

So, to help balance things out, if you've read this far, and are 
interesting in paying shipping on a working dual head multiprocessing 
Z80 turbodos system (from austin, tx, usa), let me know.  Specifically 
it is an IMS 5000 IS system.  Preference goes to anybody willing to come 
and pick it up.  You are excluded from consideration if you have 
authored any emails with the subject line "digital camera capabilities" *.
