This is new. Just brought the uVAX up again. I sent ONE message to Usenet
mentioning the address.
I now made it to some luser's spam list!
This is the new thing...
The spam appears to be in Japanese?
I guess this will be the first spammer I mail that can UNDERSTAND what they're
being mailed! (A-CNH)
The question is, just out of curiosity, when did Usenet deteriorate to the
point that spamming started?
Was it around the time AOL let people on Internet? :)
(J/k!)

My PS/2 Model 70 is a 386, released around 1990. It is the most
recent machine I have seen to have ROM BASIC, with IBM DOS 3.3's
BASIC.EXE jumping just fine.

Here's one I've never run into, oddly enough. IBM PCs 5150 throrugh 5170
had the BASIC ROM and BASIC.EXE and BASICA.EXE included with PC-DOS through
4.0 just jump to the code on the ROM.
Later models (PS/2s) still have the Cassette BASIC, but don't seem to be
able to run the PC-DOS BASICs. Did IBM break the BASIC ROM after the 5170
model?

Try about 5-6 years and it was there before but you could get the offender

the fray.

I haven't seen it slow. I've just about stopped posting in newsgroups
and stay away from many web pages where they appear to do address capture.
I don't even write in maillists (alt.sys.PDP8 to name one) that echo to
newsgroups for the same reason. I'm tired of getting junkmail from
some_bimbo(a)earthlink.com that really isn't earthlink and is likely a man.
Even with reducing presence and using munged address in most places I
still get the crap.
I can live with commercial but the sex for sale is unacceptable.

I don't have graphical internet access, so I can't see the pictures,
but could it be that electrolyte spilled from one of the
capactiors?
Just an idea...

I recently received a BULL XPS 100 mini frame from out local college with
all the manuals and disks.. etc It is a unix box, and I was curious if
anyone has had any experience with these things? And if they can point
me in the right direction to get this thing to boot :>
Thanx

Not that I know of. If there are, they're not letting me in. (A good idea
anyway, I suppose.)

I was speaking of mailing lists in general. As in the Land Rover list,
which after many such suggestions finally split into Series and Coil Sprung
lists, and now also has a newsgroup.
Sometimes it goes the other way; I suspect rec.equestrian was around long
before the dressage list.
