Pissed himself laughing, regained his composure, put on a straight/mean guy face, and then toed the AVS company line.

I got this as a PM - I think its meant for Kal or Curt:
Dear Sir, I noticed you have a picture of my mother in one of yourads on ebay. Could you please remove it.
If you do not, I will sue you.

Don't you understand, it was clear to me.
He's projecting the image onto his TV!

For the record i emailed this to the seller.
Dear ******,
Hello is this a Barco Cine 8 or is this a 808 both are completely different Projectors. Also would you consider shipping without the tubes, as the tubes are shot. Also your first picture seems questionable
Thanks
Have a nice day
- ******
Here is their reply
Dear ******,
THe first picture is someone being smart who has hacked into our system. Is a cine 8. You can do what you want with the tubes
It seems that this sellers "system" has been "Hacked" They don't even know what they are talking about. Nor do they have a "system".
I've got my own webservers and 2 domains i've never been hacked even though my FTP site gets hit bigtime with password crackers.
I thought i'd post this to make things even more interesting.
Thanks
Have a nice day

It went for just over $1220 AUD .. I had a snipe on for max of 1209 - JUST missed out.
Bugger
Then again, paying $1209 for an 808 .... I thought it ironic!

I actually had no intention of buying it. I live in the US(sadly). I really wanted to get their comment on the picture.
I have an old BG400, i'm working on making a list of caps to replace right now. Once i replace them, i'm going to build a good projector cart out of an old network rack. Right now the cart i have the projector on is top heavy and wants to tip over. Once i save up enough money, in about a year or two i would like to get the latest version of a 1209 with Iris from Curt, as well as some of the modifications that are availiable.
Kal should write a script that automatically puts an alternate image in when somone hotlinks this site. And make the hotlinked images completely random on each page load.
Thanks
Brad

Hacked?
That's like me painting graffiti on someone's house and then complaining when it's been painted over the next day!
Someone feel free to email the guy again and explain how he's stolen / hotlinking the images from curtpalme.com which is generally a no-no.

It's actually quite straight-forward to not allow any other site to use photos or other files on my server... basically only allow our own server to access images/content.
But then we wouldn't be having this fun would we?
As well, a lot of us use pics from the site from time to time here in the forum or other places and I have no problems with that really. What's not nice is when someone who's a direct competitor to Curt uses Curt's images and bandwidth to help them sell projectors. That's just not nice.
Kal

Kal, don't you know that hacking is illegal?
