New ( to me) ebay search scam

[FrankWakefield]

Thank you, guys... I would wonder why odd stuff would show up in what I thought was a good search.

White font... Early computer days, VIC-20 and Commodore 64 days, we'd have the computer, a monitor, and either a cassette tape drive or a floppy disc drive. Eventually I got a printer. In pre printer days, if I looked at the directory of a disk with bought software on it, the directory / list of programs would be blank or near blank, but the screen would show that there was no or little space left on the disk. We couldn't copy files if we couldn't see their names. With the printer, one day I printed the mystery directory, and there it was! A long directory that didn't show on the monitor screen... If a file was named CAT there was immediately after it the 'delete' key image (I think an inverse @) so that the printer printed CAT@@@ but when that was thrown to the monitor the CAT was deleted as soon as it was thrown up there. Old technology clever... kinda like that guy putting that long list of words in his listing.
