SUBJECT: Your Word 4.0 for Mac disks?
Dear Mr. LeMay,
Do you still have the Word 4.0 for Mac available?
We read your posting from 2001, May, at this URL:
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2002-May/000582.html
How many bucks do you want for it?
We need just one set, please. We already own Word 3.0 for Mac
and need this for compatibility to receive a few documents
>from others for study.
Thank you very much.

All,
Although this has come up a few times already, I am going to bring it
up again. Come kick my butt if you don't like it :)
Given the volume of the list, and the many off-topic (lets not discuss
what is and is not on-topic here) talk, I would like to propose [again]
that we do like other lists do: insert a tag [cctalk] in the Subject:
line of the postings, so it's easy to distinguis the postings from
other, perhaps more pressing e-mail.
Selecting/filtering based on sender address doesn't work well for all
clients, and depends on the ability to use processing rules in the
first place.
As said, most lists out there already use this technique, it's been
accepted more or less as a standard, so can we *please* use something
like this ?
I don't want to start Yet Another Discussion, a mere vote would do, as
we're all techies who know what this is about.
Cheers,
Fred

PS:
Silly me; hit "send" before putting mind in gear: Although there are no batteries
(to prevent leakage damage) or memory on these boards in their packages, I can
certainly supply both if needed, as well as pretty well any I/O cards you might need.

Charles,
Yes, I believe I have a complete set of COMPUTE! back issues from the
time I was there (1982-88). They are packed away in boxes. I wouldn't be
willing to part with an entire issue, but I might be persuaded to find
and photocopy a specific article, if somebody really wants it badly.
Knowing the date of the issue would be a big help.
If the goal is to find a program, not necessarily an article, I suggest
looking for it on the web first. There are several web sites and groups
that keep archives of programs for old computers. This would save the
trouble of typing in the program listing.

I have my original Atari ST 512 still...
It's been a trouper and I'd like to use it again..
So, I'm looking for help with the following:
1. It has an AERCO Easie-ST Ram upgrade board in it,
that is no longer recognized. This board will use 1mb
x 8 chips to take the system to 4mb (which is max for
this machine).
I lost my manual, and it isn't working anymore.
I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have the
manual for this, or can point me to where I can get a
RAM upgrade for this old machine?
2. I'd like to throw an 80mb SCSI External drive I
have on it, so I'm looking for a SCSI Adapter for an
ST. $100 + s/h for a new(?) one from one of the
remaining dealers is a bit steep...
Does anyone know of a cheaper source for one, or have
an old Atari Drive with a bad mechanism I can buy to
salvage the adapter?
Regards,
Al Hartman
P.S.: I have a paper tray for an HP IIIp printer (but
not the actual mechanism to use it) if someone is
still looking for one.
Couldn't resist sharing this:
If Microsoft had been the first to invent books:
1. Before you can open the cover of your new book, you must obtain a
book activation code by phoning Microsoft.
2. Sorry, only one person may ever read your book.
3. It's full of spelling mistakes and typos.
4. When you're reading your book, the words can mysteriously disappear.
5. Libraries, which are for sharing books, are illegal.
6. You must acknowledge you have read and understood the Book License
Agreement Hype (BLAH) before you can read your book.
7. Microsoft has the right to enter your premises to conduct book
inspections to make sure your book is being read in accordance with the
BLAH.
8. The Book Users' Group General Alliance (BUGGA) calculates that the
annual loss of revenues to Microsoft arising from BLAH violations in
2001 was $10.97 billion.
9. There are two versions of your book - the "Standard" and the "Pro"
versions. In the standard version, those pages containing the most
useful information have been stuck together.
10. Confidential information is inexplicably in bigger type that can be
easily read by anyone glancing over your shoulder.
In the mid-1980's I lived in Lowell, MA and my then wife (and briefly,
myself) worked for a circuit board design company. Their primary CAD system
was a PDP-11 based system from a company called, I believe, Telesys. It was
a very good system from my recollection; it used a dual-display concept
which was very efficient and had extremely good performance.
The actual design consoles looked a lot like arcade video game consoles.
There was a small monochrome CRT on the lower panel which displayed menus
which one used a light pen to navigate through, and which was also used for
drawing. One saw the results in "realtime" on the larger colour screen, all
very sharp.
Does anyone here have any more info on these. I do recall this being a
*very* good system, but I can't find mention in my web searches.
Thanks,
Dennis
