šš FKA kevinSo what are we going to do about this spool of magnetic tape from 1983 that may or may not have come from CompuServe? Because it's en route to my office. š±šš @apdamegriff @textfiles
Avery Dame-Griff@driscoll @textfiles Oh man, image it, hopefully! Where on earth did you find it?
@apdamegriff @textfiles Just turned up on ebay the other day! I messaged the seller and they got it from an estate sale. It's a mystery.... :)
@driscoll @textfiles I had a feeling - ebay is my weakness too. Which is how I now own this press photo I'm not sure I needed, but I definitely bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304750353154
@apdamegriff @driscoll @textfiles can you share a high res scan of this George Peach photo? Iām working to preserve some history of eSoft products, which are featured in this pic.
@pheller @apdamegriff @textfiles Oh, cool. I will have to dig it up but I should be able to get a scan done reasonably soon. I might also have some other eSoft ephemera. I'll poke around.
@driscoll @pheller @textfiles I have my copy with me at the office, so I'm happy to stick it in one of our flatbeds and see how well it reproduces.
Here's the hi-res scan, front and back (600 dpi TIFF): https://gonzagau-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/dame-griffa_gonzaga_edu/EdkvtTAtn99Imha6Z1Ebf-EBpkjgEZskytEUQ9As2H8dpw?e=2diLtZ
@pheller @apdamegriff @textfiles Huh! On closer inspection, these are different prints from different negatives. Same shoot, same pose. Different exposure, different paper, different crop?
@driscoll @pheller @textfiles Yeah, I think it way maybe the final one that ran. Mine has what are clearly possible crop lines along the top, and they line up roughly with yours.
