    Voodoo cards are worth money to the right people. They’re used in a bunch of coin-op arcade games.

          Seems like you’re annoyed that I pointed out that what you were saying was irrelevant? And so you reply with more irrelevant crap (on a very nerdy, not-fun-at-parties internet forum for Linux discussion)? Let me know if I got that wrong.

            Somebody mentioned Voodoo cards, I had a bit of information that related to that. That’s how discussions work; they kind of go where they go.

            But I’ll make absolutely sure to get your permission before I comment again.

        Probably fifteen or more years ago, I put some old shit on craigslist, figured I could get a few bucks for some things. Listed my even-then-totally-obsolete Voodoo card for $15. Same day, I got a buyer for it; cool!

        It wasn’t till later on that I realized he had a midway.com email address. I suspect that card was worth a lot more than $15 then. $50? $100? No idea. I can’t imagine how much they’d go for now.
