Geeze, the upgrade was certainly more painful than I expected. There were
definitely a few gotcha's that weren't really documented.
It would appear that a lot of list traffic used to show with an address of
cctalk-admin and cctech-admin. This has apparently changed to cctalk-bounces
and cctech-bounces. Please adjust any filters or mail rules that you may
have on your end accordingly.
The above change caused a problem with the way the two views (cctalk and
cctech) of the list were cross-linked. I *THINK* I have this problem fixed,
can anyone let me know if they see strangeness in this area directly
(offlist). I fixed this about 8:15 CST, so only for posts sent well after
that.
I'm still wading through things looking for issues (I am sure there is
some). Let me know if you see anything!

I've posted this before, but got no answers. I'm trying again.
Has anyone ever heard of a computer company called Dinosaur Computers? I
had a friend tell me that such a company existed (with the same name, no
less!), but I never found anything.
Anyone ever heard of this company?

Is anyone in the NJ-NY area interested in buying two Apple Lisa Computers (Vintage about 1985-6). I have two computers with external hard disk, printer, software. They are in working condition.
If you have any interest in these, please contact me.

Those chips are:
DEC 21-17311-01 or 21-17311-02 = T-11 processor
DEC 21-17312-00 or 21-17312-01 = DC 319 DLART
DEC 57-00001-01 = KEF11 FIS
DEC 57-00000-01 = Ctrl/Data Hybride of 11/23
DEC 21-15542-01 = MMU of 11/23
I have those parts over here, and since both the original poster and myself are
located in Germany, I have already dropped them a line and helped them out.

Do you still have the old copy of GEM? I'm most interested in packaging,
manuals, etc. that refer to it as a windowing environment (as you did in
your message).

There's two DEC TS-11 tape drives up for auction at the gov't
liquidation site. They're located in beautiful Barstow, CA in case
anyone's interested. 2 days, 18 hours to go and no bid yet.

Question:
Anyone can join the list (cctalk or cctech) without moderation,
automatically. I was wondering if it might not be good to require an email
>from people wanting to join the list - kind of a "letter of introduction" if
you will. Something to give them an opportunity to say what they collect,
what type of systems they are interested in, that kinda thing. This would
serve two purposes. First, this email would be forwarded to the list as an
introduction to everyone (not for a vote or anything like that). Second, it
would give me a fairly reasonable way to make sure people who join the list
are real collectors, or people with a real interest anyway, and not some
schmoe wanting to post ads for modern equipment, or harvest list addresses
by receiving the traffic.
Sure this is not a fool proof thing, but might help alleviate that.
In addition, I was considering no longer allowing posts to the list (cctalk)
>from unsubscribers. Currently anytime a non member posts to the list it gets
flagged for moderation. However, this is taking more and more time of mine
to read and approve (reject most) of those. Thus, I was considering making
someone join the list before they can post at all, even with moderation of
their posts. The downside of this, is on rare occasion, someone (not a
collector) posts to the list that they have interesting equipment available,
and I don't want to have to make them join the list. Their post would be
silently rejected. This doesn't happen often, but who wants to miss a real
gem.
Please email responses to this directly to me instead of the list.

Ok, the upgrade took a LOT longer than I thought. I'm still not certain I
have everything right. But, I do see emails getting through at least. I'm
heading off to get sleep. I will do a little testing tomorrow. As people
notice problems, please email me directly.
Also - I got enough responses to "Please reply offlist" so no more are
needed (and messages with that subject are temporarily dev/nulled) :)
Jay
Okay, just a quick show of hands...
How many of us out there actually use the systems we
have on a fairly regular basis? Personally, all of my
systems are used regularly. For instance, my Toshiba
T1800 has software that can only run at a useful speed
on a 386, my battery of Macs are dedicated astronomy
and graphics machines and I even use an Apple IIgs for
planetarium programming, not counting the Tandy Model
102 that I use as my erstwhile PDA.
Curious,
Rob
