I like robots and space toys. I have a few vintage ones and I'll try to post some pics later.

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to do that. I think the toys from that period are the best.
I slapped together this background to your neat space gun.

The original ads listed your space gun selling @ $1 in 1935.
The one I have was selling for less. :rolleyes:

Awesome! I'll post more toys and you can make cool backgrounds for them. Just kidding, but that looks a whole lot better than the background my ping pong table provided.

I was in television news editing for a long time. Mostly beta format.
Last few years went to computer chip cameras & editing.

To say it was a “total nightmare” is putting it mildly.

Especially when trying to finish the story for the 5 o’clock news
& the computer crashes.

I’m just beginning to comprehend the language of internet.

I don’t have any sophisticated editors, just the computer &
my stubborn attitude to keep at it til I’m satisfied....but I’m
never satisfied. :mad: That’s the secret !
