If you have a computer with a GPIB card you can make screenshots with
gpib-utils (http://gpib-utils.sourceforge.net/) and print those.

I'm getting double posts SOMETIMES from the list. Does anyone have any
idea why this would be happening? I was wondering if I was subscribed to
the list twice, but it doesn't occur to all messages. Does anyone else
experience this? I've included the headers from an example message up
until they differ. They are the same line for line except one has a blank
CC field.

Yup...you're seeing what I suppose can be described as an technological
escalation in the spam war. The spammers have evolved, as we will have to
wait for the good guys to adapt.
I'm more of a dspam guy personally, but it's the same issue with
Spamassassin. That, and I've been working through the issues with
commercial spam removal vendors serving my Very Large Telco client. Bottom
line is that the spammers have found a weak point in the current
state-of-the-art spam detection technology and are beating on it for all
it's worth. They're not st00pid, alas.
Perhaps more insidious is I've noticed an increasing amount of non-sense
spam with no discernible (to me) purpose (no links or dead links, no message
or hook) other than to poison Bayesian corpus (corpi?). This does not bode
well.

No problem; I've got the burner, manual & software.

and is a model 1409. Looking for any info regarding
this beast. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks.
There are a few terms from other discussions
that i don't know either, such as:
BOG (no, not the toilet!)
FGPA (I think that's right)
If there isn't already a definitions/terms list
on classiccmp.org could one be added?

I've been in contact on a fairly regular basis with the owners of the new
kits. Howard is waiting for Christmas, Mark (US) is working on his, John
is sick at the moment, and Mark (Netherlands) is still waiting for the mail
to come in.
I have uploaded the pictures he has sent me. They aren't too much
different than what I have on my web site, but they are from a kit
builder. :) I thought this might be interesting. Other than myself, I
doubt there has been too many Altairs constructed in the past 30 years. :)

Mark mailed me a few pictures of his vintage computer collection, including
his Mark-8 kit provided by Steve Gabaly of Obtronix.

Right now I am working on the silk screen and solder mask layer for the
88-PMC (2k 1702A PROM Board), ACR (Cassette Tape Board), 2SIO (Serial
Terminal Board), 88-4MCS (4k Static Ram board). With these items its
possible to have a completely vintage basic development environment.
I am beginning to work on other vintage computer equipment too! Expect
some interesting new things to come your way. :)
