    Old is when you remember......... Learning about WWII from your grandfather and his friends. Making a phone call from a rotary phone hung on the wall. With a number you had stored in your head. Going to the drug store to use the tube tester and buy a new tube. Having buddies over to watch...

    This is very true. Plus for those of us who don't due social media we miss a lot. But we don't get as much grief or scammers either. lol Plus if you are dropping $25K in 3 months I don't see where a $200 difference in price for something needed to finish a game matters. There is getting...

    What's the lifespan of somebody staying in the hobby?

    Lots of good vector goodies in there. Too bad you are on the other side of the country. @lgsteelers may need some Star Castle parts.

    Every piece of that Star Castle has value as does the Asteroids monitor.
