I have noticed a few pieces of spam lately on the list. Our mail server
checks all the normal relaying databases, so that has kept most of the spam
out for ages. However, now a few have trickled in and it bugs me a bit. In
the past it has been suggested that the list be closed - ie. only
subscribers could post to the list. I have always avoided that because
fairly frequently someone will post from a non-subscriber that they have
equipment available, and I don't want to take that opportunity away from the
list. I see two options:
1) I can close the list from non-subscriber posts
or perhaps
2) I can require non-subscriber posts be approved before I send them to the
list
I would prefer to do number 2 above. However, this does give me the ability
to occasionally see available equipment before the rest of the list. Of
course I wouldn't abuse this, but - I don't even want that perception.
So.... advice please?
Regards,
Jay Wests

They're attempting to get a TI Explorer simulator working,
and they're looking for an Explorer I (looks like they have
the disc image for an Explorer II)
Pretty impressive effort, and I think it's worth helping
these folks out, if you can.

Brian,
What is "IC". By the way, I really appreciate your email.

Your assessment is correct. It's an IC test mechanism.

It's not especially dangerous, as solvents go. "Hazards in the Chemical
Laboratory" describes it as a "Colourless volatile liquid with
chloroform-like odour; B.P. 40C; immiscible with water. Harmful vapour.
Irritating to eyes. [these two are standard hazchem warnings] Avoid
breathing vapour. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. TLV 100ppm. Toxic
effects: The vapour irritates the eyes and respiratory system and may cause
headache and nausea. High concentrations may result in cyanosis and
unconsciousness. The liquid irritates the eyes. Assumed to be poisonous if
taken by mouth."
For comparison, the TLV for iso-propyl alcohol is 400ppm, for MEK, 200ppm,
and for the methyl methacrylate in superglue, also 100ppm (TLV is
"threshold limit value" -- think of this as a concentration to which a
normal person can be repeatedly exposed, daily, without adverse effect, but
be aware that accepted TLV's vary from country to country).
Methylene chloride is commonly used in paint stripper (the kind that
doesn't have caustic soda etc is typically 80% methylene chloride), as a
propellant in aerosol sprays, and in shampoo.

The USPS has started printing identifying markings on the _inside_ of their
boxes, because so many people were turning them inside out to use for other
purposes.

People like turning them inside out and sending them Fedex, UPS,

Although, I rarely ship with someone other that USPS, anyway.

I also feel compelled to point out -- for those who may not know
of it -- that Rush had a sort of "concept album" called "2112,"
which is how we got into this in the first place.

FWIW, there are also high-end PCI audio subsystems which accept
direct digital input (and provide output) to an external rackmount
DAC/ADC, which usually has several 1/4", RCA(?), and XLR connectors.
Those would probably qualify, since by the time the audio got to the
point of being affected by the noise of the PSU, it would be in
digital form.
I suppose that you could also do the same kind of thing with a normal
(relatively cheap -- like sound blaster live) board, by using only
SPDIF connections, and getting a set of speakers, or separate amp that
will accept SPDIF in (for playback).
There are even a couple of record players with SPDIF out (I've always
wondered why, and this seems as good a reason as any) -- that would
solve the problem nicely.
I have a set of Altec-Lanseng powered speakers which have a somewhat OK
frequency response, and accept SPDIF in. They work very well with my
dedicated hard disk recorder.
So, um, anyway, this is starting to diverge from on-topic. :)

Doc ---
I, and everyone (well, almost!) can understand your anger, but
whatever happens, don't leave us!
Whenever I'm looking for info on a possible deal, whether I'm the
buyer or seller, I always kept the details about the other parties an
locations quiet for just this reason. It always made me feel a little bad,
not quite honest, that I shouldn't do that. But every time I hear about this
kind of crap, it gets easier for next time. Shouldn't be that way, not among
friends.
As for the culprit, since it was an offense against Doc, it's up to
him as to whether or not the name should be revealed. I trust he'll come up
with appropriate revenge.
Personally, I'd drop some hints, then the name, and watch the f***er
fry in the ensuing flame war. But that's just me.
