A US company is giving away free shares (like Yahoo did
at its beginning). They're called Monsterboard and are pretty big.
go to : http://www.monsterbook.com/SignUp2.asp
and sign up, all they want is your demographics. If you don't mind,
please give them my referral No. ( 277673 ). Hurry, they are only
taking the first one million people. They will probably have that
many within about 24 hours.
If this is an imposition, don't bother with my referral No. If you
wish, register all by yourself. They just want name and address
and e-mail address. Since many of you already make that available,
on this list, I doubt they would have any more information.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

In the end, the vultures and poor schmoes are happy, the suckers get
fleeced, and all is well with the world.

E-Bay banned fire arms for two reasons: First, they couldn't do the background checks or check for stolen weapons. A legally valid reason, but likely an excuse. Second, if someone were assaulted with a weapon bought on E-Bay, the way things are going, E-Bay could be sued, and lose, BIG TIME. That's probably the real reason.

Hi Guys and Gals.
No, I'm not "back" but thought you might like an interesting read.
I've been working on interviewing Jon Titus, the creator of the first "home"
computer, the Mark-8 Minicomputer - which was featured in the July 1974
issue of Radio Electronics. Jon was kind enough to spend a considerable
amount of his time typing up memories of the machine and how it all came
about. I've placed this on my site, along with a few images. One image, of
the RE front cover - was sent to me or I grabbed it from some website - but
alas I can't remember where or by whom. So, if it's yours please contact me
and I'll talk to you about copyright/image theft, etc.
Without further ado, point your browser to
http://www.comcen.com.au/~adavie/weird/mark8b.html
I'd really like some feedback on this one - it's taken a fair bit of work!
Cheers

That's what I had heard... and it had been a working pdp-6 donated
by Stanford (I believe)... what a waste...

well, the person I asked didnt expound on his answer. Remember that big blue
has different brands and I can only assume that the R6K division didnt like
the PC company giving it competition.
correction: for CONSUMER machines, MCA was discontinued unfortunately.

erm... where are you? I might know a few people in the UK who'd want
these, but don't think they'd want to pay overseas shipping :)
