wow...just wow....

that is lke one of those tasks that people say "one of these weekends im just going to sit down and do it" and then they never do, eventually dying leaving it undone.

Your task was 100x larger and you did it.

You're awesome.

Now... Make a Torrent and let us all partake in your masterpiece. Can't let your hard earned work not et some cool recognition by seeing how many other people want to download them from you. I know I would.

this thread gives me an appalling feeling of sadness and desolation... you could have been out LIVING your life, instead of scanning those mags. When you are on your death bed, you'll be wishing you spent more time with those you loved, more time making positive changes in the world, and less time scanning those 700+ mags, I predict. :(

Scanning while doing work is not a waste of time IMHO. Otherwise I'd just be sitting on my ass waiting for things to be done before I could continue with my work. :) Multitasking my friend...... it's the wave of the future ;)

do your fish appreciate all the effort you've put into their care?

Well........ I can't talk to my fish....... but they are healthy :)

It's a hobby..... something to take my mind of work :) It does not consume me thought ;)

On the other hand....... it's sad that I can also post over 20000 post in this forum :( ;)

Cheers,
Aquaman
