It's hard to have a brain when you store a fold-out helicopter in your head.

People retire, change departments, get replaced. I worked in government and I went through our store room. I found some old backup tapes. I have no idea what was on them because they weren't labelled properly. The format was so old we didn't have the hardware to read them. I didn't even know what ty...

This is really interesting! You did a good job with the vectors. I have a suggestion, which reminds me of a joke: A wealthy matron is so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decides to have her bedroom painted the same color as the vase. Several painters try to match the shade, but none comes c...

It looks like they used a lot of traditional methods which surprised me cause the background pans are way more stable than the 80s version...

I took Kitty's image, erased the writing, and put millichris's first image behind it. http://i.imgur.com/me8vde7.png No colour matching, but it's not noticable unless you're looking for it. There must be a bigger one somewhere, cause millichris's picture has more stuff on the sides.
