    Apple? What does a fruit company have to do with telegraph message relaying?

    Your blatent tomfoolery and parading of these silly fictional contraptions are mocking those of us without your level of financial stability or imagination.

    Please quell your infernal malarky at once, until your stupendous balderdash hieroglyphics jibberjabber can at least be correctly deciphered and
    rendered appropriately on Mystic 10 Handlebar Mustache Typewriter Edition.

    Seriously, a link with no context? At which point, after numerous people have pointed out proper etiquette on echomail, have you missed the message. At
    this point you have become nothing more than a spammer on the various echos
    you post on.

    FYI: I read my whole Webster dictionary from cover to cover when I was a young kid so those words don’t scare me even one bit. I just don’t like it when I see uncivilized posting of threads that are misguided by unusual and sarcastic comments behind the poster themselves and therefore will not respond to such useless jibberish. Year end of the lesson.

    There was a program called the "Encheferizer", a unix text filter that converted text into dialog from the Swedish chef in The Muppet Show.

    I fed Swedish into it and broke the internet. It got better.

    You seem to be under some sort of impression that I'm supposed to be full of respect of you because you are able to write/paste a few advanced words. Well, I'm not. I'm also not english by birth and english is my second language. And yet I'm not terribly impressed by your show-off just now.

    In fact - you probably should return to Fidonet. You'll fit right in there. Should you choose to remain here and continue with your asshattery you will probably be met with the disdain you are seeing in almost every response to your properly fucked up posts.

    You seem to be under some sort of impression that I'm supposed to be
    full of respect of you because you are able to write/paste a few
    advanced words. Well, I'm not. I'm also not english by birth and
    english is my second language. And yet I'm not terribly impressed by
    your show-off just now.

    I was responding to The Millionaire, did you write the bit about reading the dictionary? Here's the post from my earlier reply packet:

    In fact - you probably should return to Fidonet. You'll fit right in there. Should you choose to remain here and continue with your
    asshattery you will probably be met with the disdain you are seeing in almost every response to your properly fucked up posts.

    For what it's worth, poindexter was directing the "chapped lips"
    comment at The
    Millionaire, not you. I think you got your wires crossed and replied
    to the
    wrong guy.

    (Just hoping to forestall misunderstanding over what was a pretty
    funny
    comment.)

    My apologies to pF then. No harm done I hope. :)

    Interesting - what do you use to de-yellow the plastic? I've seen lots of options on the net, not sure what works the best.

    Interesting - what do you use to de-yellow the plastic? I've seen lots of options on the net, not sure what works the best.

    I have tried everything from home made retrobrite to creme developer and have found the best option in order to get an even exposure and no marbling is to use 3% hydrogen peroxide (usual pharmacy stuff) with 8 parts water to 1 part hp. That an a good UV source like the sun will do wonders. I have also built
    an indoor retrobrite station using a box lined with tin foil and some UV lights. I place the object in a clear container with the HP/Water mix and
    place it inside the box. If I use the sun I can usually get the needed
    results in 3-4 hours but indoor with my home made station I get the needed results in 8-10 hours. If you can get the mixture up to around 100 degrees F then you can speed up the process. That is why is works faster in the sun.
