Vintage Computer Web Site - may not be???

[Cmurray]

It seems I may have jumped the gun here and complimented the site as a
'find' when in fact it may not be that???
Is information blinding us when sober thought produces knowledge and then
'truth' emerges.

Actually, I think it is, at least for some of them (the contributor is
"WebMaster"). The Commodore section has a couple of photos ripped off from
Secret Weapons of Commodore, and they don't even link back. One example is
the Commodore 232 entry, which even includes the same backplate photo Dan
Benson permitted me to use, in the same dimensions I cropped it to, with
the same serial number, as well as the rear ports image.
