Author Topic: The "What did you buy today (or recently)?" Thread Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 08-25-2009 12:12 PM                        My food, cat food, bag of ice, pay storage bill, pay cell bill. I'm broke and about to become homeless.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 08-25-2009 01:51 PM                     quote: David Stambaugh Two 4GB USB flash drives @ $12/ea. When 1GB ones first came out they were about $1000. I remember the first CR-R I ever bought; it cost me 17 pounds. Yes, that was for just one disc, not a box of them. 3.5 inch floppies were about 5 pounds each, and the first 16MB hard disk that we bought at the school where I used to work was an external one, in a 19 inch rack mount style case. It cost about 5000 pounds, and we said we'd never be able to use that much space. My huge Fortran compiler came on *two* 74kB single sided single density disks, with a third one for the graphics libraries. 8 inch double sided double density ones held up to 1 MB, but we didn't get those until later. I've bought several vintage telephones recently; the last one to arrive being a Kellogg 1000 Masterphone, commonly known as a 'Redbar', but this one has a clearbar. Unfortunately, the Post Office managed not only to break it, but to actually bend the steel baseplate. Repairs are well underway, and I don't think the joins will be visible when it's finished. New cords are on order from Oldphoneworks in Canada, but haven't arrived yet. It's not as bad as it looks in that last picture; most of what you can see there is just excess glue on the surface, which has since been removed, but there's still quite a bit of work left to do on it. The shape reminds me of the LNER class A4 locomotives: web page  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-25-2009 01:56 PM                        Besides groceries and gas last night, the last thing I bought was a CD: Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, 'Anything Goes.' Highly recommended for you jazz fans.  |  IP: Logged Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 08-25-2009 02:01 PM                     quote: Chad Souder OK, I definitely can't figure out why it keeps saying login failed when I try to upload a picture When entering your user name be sure to use upper and lower case.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-25-2009 04:20 PM                     Purchased: Nintendo Wii Wii FIt EA Sports Active Sports Resort Madden 10 Tiger Woods GOlf Sure am having fun with the Wii, and the fitness programs are what this overweight body needs. 100 Pin bowling on SPORTS RESORT is great fun with friends. Madden is a bit tricky to figure out, but I'm getting there. Beat up on Cleveland last night 91 - 0. They could be beaten that badly during the season!  |  IP: Logged Todd McCracken Master Film Handler Posts: 263 From: Northridge, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-25-2009 04:49 PM                    Got myself a Yummy burrito.

I believe it's the "Walter Whigam" Love the A4's. It's OO on an HO scale display, but the difference is minimal, and not noticeable, unless you're going around measuring stuff with precision instruments. I want to upgrade it to DCC, and sound, but the A4 sounds different, with a different chuff pattern and all, and finding an accurate solution is a bit trying. And just like the real A4's, she's one of the fastest locos on the track.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

How did you manage to get it early? Oh, BTW another material purchase I forgot to add to my list on Page 1: an 8GB SanDisk Extreme® III CompactFlash™ card. It cost me roughly $50 from Amazon.com. It was a must buy to get any of that 1080p/30 HD AVC recording capability in that new D-SLR to work well at all. The old 2GB Extreme II card just wasn't going to cut it.  |  IP: Logged
