But be careful in that one... BTW, you can get X running on a NetBSD loaded DEC3000.

[CCTALK] Re: [CCTECH] Keycap cleaning strategy

By using a good quality commercial spray cleaner sprayed on a cloth, you can get them looking almost like new. If they were really bad, I could see taking them off and soaking them. The dishwasher would be a bad idea. You could easily end up with a bunch of little bits of melted plastic and a broken dishwasher. _______________________________________________ cctech mailing list cctech(a)classiccmp.org http://www.classiccmp.org/mailman/listinfo/cctech

[CCTALK] [CCTECH] Working yet?

by foo＠siconic.com

Is cctech passing messages yet? All I see are messages from cctalk. A lot of them are messages that are on topic and should be going to cctech. I'm waiting to unsubscribe to cctalk until I know cctech is working. Who's doing the moderation on cctech?

[CCTALK] Who's going to Dayton? Take two

by erd_6502＠yahoo.com

OK... something about the recent changes to the list adminstration process caused my reply to be bounced, but we'll try a fresh message... A couple of list members piped up about going to the Hamvention. I will be there on Friday only, and not for the entire day (previous commitment elsewhere). If anyone has a mind to get together, I will have a 2m radio and a cell phone. Write me directly for numbers. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
