I could help with some logisitic details, but organizing something like this is currently beyond my 43-year old competence. To answer the other question, we had snow in January 2000, the first in quite some time. Usually it just rains all winter. It also snowed on Christmas Day, again, the first since perhaps 1977/78. I will make inquiries to the convention & tourism bureau as to the schedule of other conventions. Horse Racing is on vacation in January, however, in case anyone had their heart set on it. -doug q

HP 715/33 available - Austin, TX

by mrbill＠mrbill.net

(I apologize if this breaks the 10-year rule; I *think* this box is about as old as a SS1, or darn close to it - couldnt find a date of mfg..) I've got a barebones (no HD, no RAM, no kb/mouse) HP/Apollo 715/33 available in Austin, Texas. You can find specifics on it at http://parisc.workstations.org/systems.html and http://parisc.workstations.org/systems/715_scorpio.html Nice little PA-RISC box; however, I just have no use at all for any HP stuff. Will trade for anything DEC/VAX related (literally, anything - make a halfway serious offer, you might be surprised) or will even possibly give it away if someone has a good enough need/reason why I should. I just need it out of the way. I'm looking for VAXstation (3100, 4000-VLC, etc) machines and hardware, BTW.

Using DECmate III from terminal

by rdd＠smart.net

Is it possible to use a DECmate III from a terminal if one has no monitor or keyboard for it? Since it's in the PDP-8 family, can it run OS/8? BTW, Does anyone have any stories of favorite PDP-8 or Decmate hacks, and, has anyone here used a DECmate for any music or sound synthesis applications? -- R. D.

How do you finance/afford your computer collection?

by jeff.kaneko＠juno.com

I get an allowance. All of my computer-related purchases come out of that, except if it's something for my wife's machine, in which case it comes out of our general budget (which doesn't really exist, but we pretend). I'm not aquiring many systems these days; I'm trying to concentrate on getting the systems I have now in some decent shape-- so mostly parts and docs, and junk. Since most of the systems I have are not considered 'investment grade', I can still get most of what I need pretty cheaply (MFM drives-- $1, for example). It gets expensive when I have to buy a part that's still used alot in the 'mainstream' (SCSI CD-ROM's, for example). Almost all of my machines occupy my basement-- the rest occupy a small corner of my otherwise full garage. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

The question I posed is if anyone is writing mailers for > the older systems so they can handle HTML properly. Again, is this a blanket statement that anything that isn't an Intel box running Windows is an "older system"? As to the question...yes, many modern mailers for non-Windows systems (old systems and new systems alike) deal with HTML just fine. I think the animosity toward HTMLized email (at least for me) comes from these points: 1) It's just not necessary for effective communications. 2) It's a waste of bandwidth and system resources. 3) Technical people generally want genuine functionality to prevail over "flash"...which is why many (most) technical people in the industry (Visual Basic programmers don't count) don't have Windows boxes on their desks if they have anything to say about it. 4) It's a clear outgrowth of the overcommercialization of the Internet, in which uneducated users think the World Wide Web *IS* the Internet, thus they try to cram the World Wide Web into everything they do, and conversely, cram everything they do into the World Wide Web. -Dave McGuire

Did you see...

by bill＠chipware.com

I don't really want to start another "ebay good/ebay bad" argument, but did everybody see that an ADM-3A just sold on ebay for $355 US!?!? I have two in good working and cosmetic condition that I got from a bank some years ago, including the little panels and screws that cover the option dip switches. I alos have docs. How many more are out there, just on this list?
