Laksmi, in your post,you said you had many talks and emails from Akshay who traded films all the time and you didn't know what had become of him,but you guessed that Vidar had replaced them for now, but he was going blind and may not have his sight for much longer,The implication that it was Akshay that was losing his sight,you never mentioned speaking with Vidar, so leaving anyone reading that posting that Akshay was the injured party. Are you sure it was Vidar,which is tragic also.

It is me, yes, but I do hope to be around for some 5-10 years. I am selling off my video game collection for collecting Super 8 and 16mm instead. It's caused by diabetes, and it's too long gone, but I can try to keep it at bay for as long as possible. If I have 10 years, that would be a decent time to get some movies watched. Hopefully I will get all my video games sold, I'd be able to go wild with reels and projectors (still wanting a GS-1200)
I hope to be bugging you guys for a few more years
Laksmi, no problem, I am very open about everything, so no worries, can tell anything as long as it's true
If anyone's interested in games, have a look : http://pokeysoft.no/games/
It's some 50.000 to 70.000 dollars worth of systems and games

What a thread! A forum member just made me aware of this thread.
Since there has been so much concern, I will clear the air a little. I went off the forum as I was nearing the completion of my Ph.D. in Engineering. I haven't had any vision problems, lucky me. Anyway, it was time to complete that dissertation, edit those research papers and find a job. With all these done, I am back. In August I will be moving to Dallas. Until then I am watching the films I already own, making some purchases, trades, etc.. Let us see how busy the job will be, it is my first job ever. Will I have time for screenings? The onus of securing a future lies in the coming years. Any advice? Invest in stocks, homes? Or just invest in every 'Star Wars' print out there?
