-------------------------------------------------------------------

        Some intriguing news this week. Sorry for the lack of updates though I've been very busy making the changes this site will soon be going through in honor of its tenth anniversary online. As of this summer this will be a whole different site with the sort of media friendly additions that befit a new millennium web site, including the following welcome upgrades:

• If you are reading this, the first big step for this site's "upgrade" has commenced and it was completely invisible to you! The site is on a new state of the art server which includes all the amenities that modern web sites are best known for, including SQL support, a much larger size limit for the web site, and much more!

• With the size limit as good as gone, this means that anything posted to this site is pretty much here to stay. No joke; the old server had us juggling files to maintain a 100 Megabyte limit! Many of the biggest and best feature stories and articles had to be edited or deleted entirely to make way for new pages. Not true anymore!

• SQL support means that navigation around the site will be more fluid and reviews will be easier to find, which is good news: after ten years, this web site is (no joke) over 10,000 separate review pages in size!

• I'd like to enter the multimedia world with videos of the most popular feature stories and reviews. This is still a work in progress until late spring so it's unclear yet if this will be a video feature exclusive to the web site itself or if we'll open a Youtube "channel." Watch for it!

• With more fluid design of the site reviews should also be more frequent and easier to post. Heck we might even have the time to update more frequently than just the weekends (stranger things have happened eh?).

• eBay auctions are touch and go at the moment given the economy, though they're still going strong. One of the two most recent auctions was for a Mint on Card Micronaut circa 1978, which sold for $100 even plus shipping. Upcoming auction items include such rare items as 1978 Star Wars action figures MOC, some collectibles that were originally only available overseas, and much more...

There are other sales pitches for the new site's format coming soon, though you get the general idea. In short; the site will be going through some major changes that I think you'll all enjoy. For now the first big task has been completed: migrating the site from its old server to a new one. Now that the first big hurdle is completed, the sky is the limit!

As Always: I'm Techtite, and these are My Two Bits...
