The vote has spoken lol I'm off to do the first issue of Video Games from August, 1982.

I considered buying the Epson. It was highly rated along with the Canon Canoscan I got. It does look better. Although your ADF looks fine as well.

Well on one hand, when I first glanced at the images, I thought they were identical. After realizing they were supposed to look different and carefully scrutinizing them further, I could see the very subtle difference and concluded that I preferred the left pic (without having biased myself by reading the following paragraph and knowing which was which), so...congratulations, I guess? Not that I'll ever again be able to directly compare pics from both scanners side by side like that, so such subtleties will be lost on me and I'll be just as happy with the results of whichever scanner you use. But as you said, it's a hobby, so as long as it makes you more pleased with the results, go for it.

Imagic games are the best. Most of my favorite Atari 2600 games were Imagic.

i wrote to Capcom way back in the day with suggestions for future Mega Man games. obviously, i was like 6 and my ideas were terrible, but somewhere i've still got a form letter from them thanking me for my ideas but they legally couldn't use any user-submitted ideas. came with a cool flyer for whatever the next MM game was (4 or 5 maybe?) that is also lost in my closet.

I uh... have no words man. One hundred miles? As in, one hundred miles in one go? That's ridiculous... where do you find time to recharge? I mean, that must burn calories like crazy. I've heard of eating on the run before, but sheesh... Now that sounds like my kind of book! I don't know much German (at all), but this makes a lot of jokes about scat porn make a LOT more sense now, if this is what their kids are reading. Also, it's easy for us adults to forget that children don't usually understand logistics. Definitely puts things into perspective, interacting with them. My niece is always a bit interesting in how she sees the world. Proud to say that in high school, I was cracking well into the 6 minute range for a full mile, long as it was in the gym. Gym floor was kinda rubbery, and I had traction. Can't tell you how many times I've fallen on my ass trying to run too fast but not having the traction... Then again, this was at a time in my life that I was living in Arizona. Roughly at 2000' elevation, I was playing soccer and skateboarding almost daily. Up here where I live now, we're at 6500'. I think I'd be pretty happy to be in the 7-8 minute range for a mile now, darn thin air. Still... 100 miles just boggles my mind. Even for an animal, a literal, not of the human variety animal, 100 miles is a loooooong way.

You're right. I should have qualified that I meant ordinary people trying to maintain a conversation at 4mph speeds. If you're training for ultramarathons or distance running, yeah, you're gonna have the kind of cardio system that allows you to maintain a conversation at that speed. But the kids in the book aren't like that. Most of them are in decent shape simply by virtue of being young, but there's a big difference between "Yeah, I did 100 miles in a non-stop marathon last weekend" and "I ran a half-mile for my phys ed. class in seven minutes last year." *huggles* Areala

So I learned today using a heatgun to debind EGM 77. Don't go too fast. The pages were coming out so easy I'd just pull and place on the pile. Well it seems you need to let them cool off a bit as when I went to scan some of the pages reglued themselves together. So I had to go back the through the pile, reheat them and pull them apart, wave the pages in the air a few seconds, then place it on the pile. So ya, let that residual glue dry again first.

Id do the older stuff or VG&CE. All the EGM's are aquired to be scanned by me or eday.
