I'm always a bit green with jealousy when I read a post
where someone announces a great find. I can't help but
thinking "That's nice for you but stop rubbing it in."
Well, I can't help but relate that today I was sorting
through some magazines and papers trying to get my
office/workshop in order when I found a Cardiac. I
still don't know where I got it, but needless to say,
it made my day.
A little later I carried it into another room in my
outstretched hands. My daughter asked what I had
and my wife said "apparently the Holy Grail." Rarely
a truer word...

I did that too, and I think I joined after Tony. According to my

you?) from Bill, I joined on Wed, 25 Feb 1998 17:00:15 PST.

4 people wanted me to bring racks to VCF east. I am running into problems
with trailer max load, car pulling max load, etc. Looks like at the least I
am going to have to disassemble two or all of the racks. ICK!!
Does anyone know the empty weight of an HP 2860B rack (this is the older
style with a greenish/grey color scheme), and an HP 29431G rack (the
generation after that that is more cream colored with rounded edges)?? I
have the manuals for both racks, neither one says the weight.
Any help appreciated :\

*sigh* ok.... another deal comes to me, and I will pass it on to the list.
Here is the info I have...
---- begin quote -----
I have two six-foot high DEC equipment racks.
They contain some obsolete custom electronics
and power supplies. The racks are in good
condition and located in Benton, Pennsylvania.
---- end quote -----
If anyone is interested, contact me off list.

The MIT flea market is always the third Sunday of the month. It starts in
April and ends in October. The first and last are the best. It is quite
a mix of stuff. Vendors line up starting at 7:00 A.M. and the gates open
at 9:00 A.M. Buyers are $5 ($1 off with copy of ad/flyer) There is a
talk-in on ham radio. Sponsored by the Harvard Wireless Club, the MIT
electronics research society, the MIT uhf repeater association and the
MIT radio society.
If I go (I usually do) and somebody from out of town is staying somewhat
near the path I take to go to the flea, I might be able to offer a ride.

I am picking up the stuff that was posted about two or three weeks ago,
as vaxen in boston. It is several small vaxes, some with unix, some
monitors, lots of manuals. won't know exactly what there is until I pick
it up.

Hi,
I'm looking for the necessary hardware, including the rails and face
plates, to rack mount a pair of BA23s. I've got a bunch of BA23s in
floor stands that I'd be happy to swap for it, or I could just pay
cash :-)
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong

Hi
I think the most important part of someone going into
software writing is learning how to deal with making
mistakes. The rest, a person will eventually learn.
Dealing with making mistakes takes a different kind
of person. They either learn to deal with it or find
a chicken farm someplace in Iowa.

Yes, I saw the two DEC machines and almost bought them, but then I came
to my senses. I have too much stuff now, and after tuesday night, I'll have
a whole bunch more vaxen.
