Bitter, cynical, and jaded is no way to go through life, son.

Considering things that people have done for attention in recent years:

- Crashing a plane

- Pretending to have been kidnapped

- Eating laundry detergent

...To name a few... It's not crazy to always suspect people are pretending just to get attention on the internet.

Because... ?

Neither is blinding accepting everything at face value.

Let me know when you find it…

I’ve been following Tim Lapentino for many years and immensely enjoy his Art of Atari book and love for all things retro nerdity. I’d be really disappointed if this was faked. But I admit, it is astonishingly remarkable that the guy who curated a Tron exhibit would also be the one to find a minty DoT environmental, an arcade grail, abandoned on the curb.

Well, it was his relative who found it so I guess his whole extended family and social circle know that he's into this.

I occasionally get guitar questions because people know that I put the time into researching what's what and can at least tell them "yeah, this is crap - don't buy it".

Yeah, i had this feeling too.
