Who remembers ?

I was only a toddler at the time Ron but have seen it many many times over the years since. :good:
Probably PP owns the original tape. :d_sunny:
It's one of the few things I can actually remember. :yahoo:
Like me Nevol, learning to do new stuff with the computer. I learn the same thing over and over again day after day until it sticks.
My long term memory is pretty good, but short term is totally cactus. If I learn how to perform some 'new' task on the 'puter, I also have to keep doing it until it sticks.
Originally, I used my scanner all the time for images of coins, but barely know how to turn it on now, but I have to confess my son changed how to access the rotten thing, so I haven't scanned anything since Dec 2011, when I got my first 'cudscope'.
Thats me exactly Nevol. I started school before 5 years old and still can recall the day and some things that happened before that. But what I did recently is a different matter. I am just looking into USB microscopes. At a budget. Is that what you refer too.?
I got a USB microscope from Aldi a few years ago
it isn't too bad but a bit fiddly at first
sits in my bookcase ... used it a few times and then sort of forgotten about it
but very useful if I'm trying to confirm a dot above the top scroll (and not a cud) on a 1920 penny!
ps - i started school at 4 1/2 years of age too and still clearly remember my first day at school!
Yes, sorry, USB Microscope. A member of another forum dubbed mine a 'cudscope' and I liked it, so it's my scope's new nickname. :angel:

Ah yes Thanks for the cud comment Robbiegal, it falls into place now. I have scanned a bit of my stuff. Before I found this forum I created a group page to chat with collectors I may come across. I have a bit of humble effort on there. If you would like too take a look. http://www.facebook.com/groups/144389542392217/
Thanks Ron
I had a quick look-see
Looks like you are having fun with the facebook page
and having fun is meant to be the best part of collecting - what ever you collect!

I probably have the record, but I wasn't even born then. I have another also by Slim Dusty called Decimal Currency Pub. It's very cool, about a bloke from the land who comes into town after a long stint in the outback to find that he can't buy a beer anymore!!
Had to check that song out.

Of course, as collectors we all know that pre-decimal is still legal currency.
Luv it. Thanks for the hint and link, PP and Trigg.

Not only that i will offer a serious discount if predecimal coins are used as the payment for any transaction :angel: :dance2:
Ha cool, I didn't know it was on youtube.
I just followed the link. Many thanks. First time I have ever heard that song. Should be played over the airways. Would make the No1 hit easy......
