Even better!

Thank you for the update! How recent was that? How about this novel idea...how about Curt just pops in once and a while, and lets us know what is going on? Wouldn't that be easiest? As I have said before...it would just be good to hear how things are progressing (or, not progressing)...not every day mind you, but every once in a while would be awesome.

Has anyone heard anything as of yet? I haven't been on AA much recently, and spring is almost over...just wondering if anyone received an email yet about the XM's shipping? The last update sounded like the "final" release date was pretty solid, so I figured I would just check in. ...just call me cautiously optimistic for a change!

Count me in for a CIB!

I don't think your out of line at all. Maybe I am just way too jaded from all the times my generosity bit me in the a$$ over the years here at AtariAge, but I don't think so. Nowadays, I reserve my generosity for people whom have established a positive reputation in the community. There is nothing worse than trying to lend a helping hand in a situation like this...only to see your "contribution" on eBay a week or so later. I've had that happen to me before...and in that case, I was even nice enough to ship the shit to the guy for free. Talk about a scammer!

I would talent the following guess: I think the fading may have more to do with the glue and glueing process underneath. I work with adhesive backed prints all the time in my daily business....every type of adhesive reacts differently to sun fading. In this case, a glueing machine likely was set up to apply more glue to the center of the label...less at the edges. This would reduce the amount of excess glue which escaped the edges when the machine roller came down to firmly affix the printed label. When the roller runs over the label, it (in theory) should disperse the glue from the center to the edges of the label. Typically it does work...just not as well as one would hope. Instead, it does spread the glue out, but still leaves a major concentration of glue in the center. Less glue underneath = less sun bleaching in the center...that's my guess.

PM Sent!

As always, you can count me in for one of each game...for everything you release! Just let me know when you open up the pre-orders!

Sweet!!! C64 was my first computer...second was the 128...I still have it! I love to see this sub-forum is now in place!
