[SWCollect] Richest people in the world
Well Gates is #1 of course (although I think at one time he was surpassed). I don't remember #2 but guessing it is the founder of Cisco. Here is what surprised me, #3. The founder of ALDI, the discount food chain here in USA. Barebones, you have to rent shopping cart (25 cents, you get back when you return it), bring your own bags (or buy for 5-10 cents each, paper or plastic), bag your own groceries, no credit cards or checks accepted, cash or debit card only. No "short" line either, if buying only a few items you have to wait behind people with huge carts full of stuff. But lines move fast. ALDI very big in Germany, here is info from a German freind of mine "This guy from ALDI (ALbrecht DIscount) in fact they are brothers (Theo and Karl Albrecht) starts im the sixties with very simple shops (no decoration, no cost-intensiv fresh-goods, no promotion) and now... their shops are very popular in germany and their products are always best in the Test-Magazins, especially the computers! Their technical supplier "Medion" starts in the seventies as a copy shop (one man band) and now they are a big trading group." As Jim knows I just bought a nice Medion camera, 2MP with hardware interpolation to 3.1MP for $70 at ALDI. And I grocery shop there too, great prices, I am bargain hunter with food as well as my "collection" ;) Heck women send me shopping for them, I usually come back with better items and spend less money than planned (got to check those sales and compare price per ounce etc etc) ;) Mom taught me well!!!

[SWCollect] $700 WU auction payment limit
Easy way to get around this, list a few more "auctions" buy it now for buyer to "bid" on. List for one cent (so don't have to pay any fees) with shipping of $700 or whatever is needed.

[SWCollect] Fw: Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash
Got this in my mail today, re: the availability of Drash images, just wanted to pass along. - Original Message - From: Great Hierophant [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 3:08 AM Subject: Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash I hope you are aware of a .d64 image floating around that purports to be that of Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash. I have two U:EfMtD images, a tape image and a disk image. Both images I got from the Vic-20 archive at Funet before they took all the commercial games down. The disk image is not just some throw the tape image onto a disk thing, the disk image has a loader program and the program code is split into two files. There are some minor differences between the disk image and tape image. The only differences I have noticed from the tape image to the disk image is that the ending tune plays at the welcome screen and there is a please wait black screen between the title and welcome screens. Also, the disk image is not very PAL compatible while the tape image is (if PAL Vic-20s were ever made.) Finally I found this in a Hex Editor of the disk image: ESCAPE FROM MOUNT DRASH CONVERTED TO DISK IN 2002. The ending may be screwed up too, which is why I used the tape image to write my FAQ on the game. This could be a source of fraud if disks are easier to reproduce than tapes and a seller purports to offer the even rarer disk version of U:EfMtD.
