Cromemcos may be available in Michigan (Roger)

I am way out here in Washington state. A long way from Michigan. You can unload a C-10 here and I'm good for the cost plus. Also I have been looking for a C-10 monitor pedestal if you see one.

Either I never found that, or I thought it was just for the Activator 2 (since that's what it implies). Anyway, I never downloaded it because it'll take a while at 64kb/s! -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Apple II APL Board?

by marvin＠rain.org

I picked up a board for the Apple II this last weekend, and am curious if anyone knows anything about it? The silkscreening on the boards is "APL BOARD", and besides an EPROM (Fairchild M88518H?) with "APL" stamped on it, it has what appears to be a centronics printer cabled attached.

Hmm... That reminds me to ask: Does anyone have programming software for an Actel Activator (the original one, not an Activator 2)? I've got some devices, the Activator, and the I/O card for a PC, but have never found the software :-( According to the help file the DOS software on the Actel site is for the Activator, not the Activator 2. It can be downloaded from here .. http://www.actel.com/products/tools/activator/index.html Lee. ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.

eBay sniping

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

Hi I have no problem with sniping, other than that I can't always be around at the last minute. The only time I didn't like being sniped was the first item I lost to this method. Once I understood what was going on, I couldn't understand why bidders would make incremental bids. I usually will post a lower bid, early on. This way, other savy bidders will check what I've previously bid on items and they will either back out or, in those cases that they just have to have an item, they will out bid me. I think it tends to even out the play field. I always look to see what other bidders have been doing. I wouldn't mind having a combination of open and sealed bits. I could then snipe without having to wait till the last minute. Dwight >From: "J.C.Wren" <jcwren(a)jcwren.com> > >Why sniping is good: > > Many people get upset about having auctions sniped. All this garbage about >extending auctions an extra minute, blah blah blah, is just a dumb idea. >The reason I regularly snipe is purely psychological: If you enter a bid >early on in an item, you're expressing an interest.
