I have one HP manual that says that the 9121 uses the Amigo protocall
and another that says that it uses SS-80. However I believe that it is Amigo.

Hi
At least the Santa Cruz DMV does have lines any more.
You take the number and sit down and read your mail
or whatever. They call you when you are next.

Well, I've done a certain amount of business with Mr. Newfeld, and every
transaction has been a little flaky around the edges: order (and prepay for)
two kits, only receive one, wrong product received, etc. The last time *he*
called *me* and told me about some obscure expansion devices he had "found"
in his warehouse, and did I want them? We agreed on a price, he charged my
Visa, and two months later I still had not received the merchandise. He then
stopped answering my phone calls and emails, and, sadly, I had to threaten
one of his subordinates over the phone in order to get Mr. Newfeld's
attention. Ultimately, he did not ship the promised goods, but sent something
else instead.
Also, I and others have made *very* generous offers to him concerning large
quantities of other merchandise he claims to have "mountains" of, and his
response has been to ignore us. No counter-offer, nothing but dead silence.
This is the behavior of someone who's "trying to make a living?" Seems
counter-productive to me . . . almost like some sort of weird power trip . . .

They are indeed. Since I moved back from Manhattan (late '98) I've
rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes for anything. In this period
I've been in there quite a few times registering two different cars,
taking the test for a motorcycle permit, registering a bike, etc.
It's still a gummint bureaucracy, but I have to say it's not a half
bad service they're running these days.

Just a thought, there is a festival coming up this next month for Apple II wackos, I'm thinking of actually going. It is in Kansas and is apparently called KFest, oh how original. Anyway, it would be neat to go and save money, if someone from Denver or CO (or Utah) is going, maybe I can hook up and carpool to save some money. Apparently Steve Wozniak is going to conduct the Keynote and be present for a good part of the week, the festival (or conference) is 5 days, with tutorials, old programming stuff, new, gettogethers, hang outs, get drunk and be silly kinda stuff.http://www.kfest.org/email me directly if you are going and want to carpool.

Possibly the idea was taken from the recent movie "The Dancer Upstairs", which is about the Sendero Luminoso in Peru. IIRC, in the movie they use a chicken to deliver dinamite. I know that the real Sendero did use a dinamite-carrying duck at least once.
