Hi,
Have a client with an OLD point of sale/rental system which is hardwired
for DG 216 terminals. One went completely out last week and he wants to
try to replace it. Do you have any, or know anyone with some of these
left ?
Thanks in advance,

<< I just took delivery of a Cybernetic Systems Mathiputer.It's a stupid
odd-shaped math toy that quizes you on arithmetic..... >>
Hey, i WANT one of those things! In some thirty plus years of
teaching special education kids, i have never found anything before or since
that has worked as well for getting number facts semi-permanently into a
certain subset of smart, but learning disabled, brains!
NONE of the newer fancy number facts software can hold a candle.... If
i knew how to program, i'd write something for windows that worked precisely
like the good ol' Mathiputer!
So.... If happens you know where i can get one that is still
functional, at a price i can possibly afford on school teacher's wages,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!
Thanks,
Ghena Dalby

Yes, same company. I've occasionally hired specialist test equipment

Apologies for this message, but...
Does anyone know how to get ahold of David Betz? His e-mail box seems
to be a bit full...

Well, I quickly checked for Outlook. Outlook Express *could* be
different as with many other things between Outlook/Outlook Express.
To see all headers do the following in Outlook:
- open the mail message (not preview, but "full screen")
- click "View" from the menu bar
- select "Options..." from the list that appears.
The "Message Options" dialog box opens.
- In the "Message Options" dialog box at the bottom the
scroll box shows the "Internet headers:".

Being a major smart A** I can't resist pointing out the following
information in the message headers. Though since you're in a Win98 system I
suspect they're probably hidden from you (I read a lot of the messages using
'elm' on Unix so I see most of the headers). I don't think I see these when
I read the messages with Eudora on my Mac.

I have not subscribed since before the change to cctalk.
Can someone please point me to the current procedure?
I want to change to a different e-mail address.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail
address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk
e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be
obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the
'at' with the four digits of the current year.

Hi
I don't see anything that I'd call a power supply. The
transistors look like they might be flops/latches or buffers to
drive the nixies. If you don't find some schematics, you
could hand draw some. I doubt that it would be too hard to
follow.

This morning, a BT man was around to fix my fried ADSL router (BT model
5861 - apparently they have a known weakness in the PSU department).
The question is, was he impressed by my bank of 5 servers, all humming
contentedly away under a table?
Nope.
How about the impressive dual-processor workstation, laptop docking port,
or 8-way KVM which allows me to control it all?
Nope.
Maybe the monstrous Laserjet 5siMX, or the sleek laser fax machine?
Nope.
What really took his breath away, and had him talking in hushed tones, is
the ICL OPD I now use as my primary telephone! This (almost) 20 year old
bit of kit, which has THE best dialling system I've ever happened across
(1, 2 or 3-digit alphanumeric short-codes), and a very dodgy speech
synthesizer, reduced BT Man to remeniscences of the like I've not heard
since I was in the pub last...
He suggested that BT do offer an exchange device (as in a telephone
exchange, not a swap...) which allows similar short-code type dialling.
However, it costs "a hell of a lot of money"...
On a completely different amusement level, I happened to watch the film
Swordfish tonight (and what an outrageous film it was too...); which made
mention of "the only PDP-10 connected to the internet" (paraphrased).
Unfortunately, the PDP itself didn't make the silver screen, but a
reel-to-reel tape drive did. So, any ClassicCmp'ers seen said film, and is
it a genuine Digital reel-to-reel tape drive they use? Answers on the back
of an electron...
