I'd love to go to VCF west, but my budget won't allow it...
Anyway, I'm located in Framingham, about 15 miles west of boston.
Most of my collection is in storage, but you'd be welcome to see
it...

I remember something similar named 'pitfall' in which you descended
through a pit which varied in width, with targets all over the place
which you tried to hit without being hit, and without hitting the
walls...

Jerome, rather than try to compile a list of those who have RT-11
CDs from Tim, why not simply make those occasional announcements
to the list...

Never heard of that, though I'm sure I would have remembered the game if
I saw that scenario!
Can you remember if it was a commercial stand-alone game or one from a
tape or type-in magazine (like from Cursor)?
The other significan PET library (besides mine) is Ken Ross' you might

I want one :-(
But despite how much I want one, it isn't worth $600 to me... anyone got
one they want to give me?

I've got one in excellent condition, just $20 . . .
but this is a quite rare item, so there is a $380 shipping and handling fee
in order that it gets packaged and shipped safely, thank you. Best, David

Which monitor are you running? Also, what version? If running the RT11SJ or
RT11FB monitor, try RT11XM. Keep in mind that RT-11 is basically limited to
64k (IIRC), and has to do tricks to use more than that.

Hi everybody,
I'm going to be in Boston for a few days next week and in western
Massachusetts (on the way to Tanglewood) next weekend. Is anyone
in either of those areas? This will be a nice opportunity for me
because I haven't been to VCF East yet and you New Englanders don't
seem to want to come to VCF West. :)

I'm recovering from DNS problems. Will I get this message?
