Stamps and Technology by
Alan Payne
Evening/Morning/Afternoon All
On the Austrian Stamp Yahoo group, we're having a discussion about
various forms of software in particular, the Michel Perfoscope and
Ez Grader.
I can't see either replacing the perf gauge,
But do others have any experience with using this sort of software?

Another Curiosity by
Alan Payne
This in itself isn't that rare a cover from the British Post Offices in
Constantinople to San Francisco (received Dec 28 1897). It's the person it's
addressed to
A Mr. M F Greary
Numistatist Philatelist
Any ideas who he might be?
