I've been very remiss -
Half-Saint assembled my Phantom for me a while back - made a really nice job of it.

Did you sell your D90, or had you forgotten to switch the ISO level back to normal from the last night shots (ISO 3200)?

Because you don't have a facebook account

Quit breaking the internet! (Top among my reasons for quitting Facebook.)
Good luck with the business. I'm not sure what normals will think of the C64. But if they ask, say you use it for bookkeeping, and show them a drawer of orderly cassettes!

Nice Amiga monitor. And some login page where an ad brokers lures teenagers with some "social" network, to sell their privacy to the customers. I'm not sure if you should get into that!

Didn't sell my D90, just too lazy - I took the shot with my phone..
@webwit:
FB appears to be teh shit these days and I'm not sure I can afford NOT to have a FB page... considering the number of fans, it's not really all that big but still..

The problem is I only use fb commercially like you do

But you should have your own web site too!

I'm a little late the the thread, but congratulations Half-Saint for starting your own business. I made the leap to be self-employed back in 1997 and I've never looked back. It's a lot of work, but I hope you find it as rewarding as I have.
FWIW, there's a great book called
The E-Myth Revisited, which I have found very insightful. It's especially helpful for those of us that are more technically minded.
Again, congratulations, and I wish you plenty of success!

I missed that.
Good luck on your business, hope you're doing well
Also didn't realise that here:

when you said:
#2- This is my company logo, looks a bit out of context without the accompanying text, lasered I guess
You actually meant
your own company...
I'll order some of those in a few days.

You should however hire a PR expert...
As for the pics: police quest and Colonization...Good memories..

Nice phone. I'm also spotting a ZX Spectrum, either 16K with memory expansion pack, or 48K with some kind of modding module, which were popular at the time to freeze games and poke around to cheat games or save illegal copies.

That's a ZX Spectrum 48k with a simple joystick interface. Not aware of any other functionality.
