Pick 'em up from my house in Glasgow Box of 15" greenbar, and four bright blue DEC 8" disk boxes designed to hold about 10 8" disks. Mail me offlist if you want them. It's probably possible to ship the disk boxes but the paper is heavy and uneconomic to ship. Gordon 2M0YEQ

probe cases group buy redux

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

The door closed on the group buy on June 30. I'm checking over things right now. Here's the list of those interested for a total of 40 cases. Name Qty Dave Griffith 3 Dave McGuire 3 Steve Maddison 6 Chris Sullivan 6 Chuck Guzis 3 Ethan Dicks 3 Neil Breeden 2 Clark Family 2 maurice smulders 3 Steve Maddison UK 5 Dennis Boone 2 Jack Lowry 2 In case you've forgotten, this is for the logic probe case found at http://www.kelvin.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=K&Produc…. US$3.45 each plus $5 shipping plus 3% for paypal to all addresses in the US. Shipping to Canada appears to be close enough. If you're in Europe, Steve Maddison has volunteered (you did, right?) to accept and remail stuff from the UK. There's at least one person on the list in Australia. If there's more than one, would someone step forward to be a remailer? -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

A classic sighting this week

by cclist＠sydex.com

Right now, the "This" network is showing the movie "Billion Dollar Brain" (1967). Stars Michael Caine, Karl Malden, Ed Begley and Oscar Homolka. Terrible plot and acting, but some really great shots of a Honeywell H200 system in operation. *So* much sexier-looking than an IBM 1401. Anyone on the list ever use one? --Chuck

No, I believe you are talking about "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" starring a young Kurt Russell. That is a great film.

FTGH: Hardware, including Sun and HP kit (Surrey, UK)

by mj＠mjturner.net

Hi all, I'm busy with one of those periodic cleanups and need to cull some of the hardware I haven't played with in some time. I have the following to give away: 1 x Sun SPARCclassic 1 x Sun Ultra 1 170 1 x Sun Ultra 1E 170 1 x Sun Ultra 5 (360Mhz) 1 x Sun Ultra 10 (333Mhz) 1 x HP B132L 1 x Sun Ultra 60 (1x300Mhz CPU) 1 x PC (Athlon 1.4Ghz, 512MiB, 40GB HD, GeForce 4MX) 1 x PC server (Celeron 300A @ 450Mhz CPU, 512MiB, 9GB HD, full-tower case, etc) The Suns all have HDs of various sizes and RAM. I have a pile of SCA drives so can probably fit each machine with a pair of 4, 9 or 18GB drives and at least 256MB RAM. - 2Ghz Athlon 'Thunderbird' CPU - Various SCSI, SCA and IDE drives - 10-40GB (quite a few 9 and 18GB SCA drives) - Various UPA Elite 3D / Creator 3D cards (all vertical, some with daughterboards) - Various SCSI and IDE CD-ROM and CD-RW drives - Lots of serial / SCSI cables (internal and external) - 8 port Accton fast ethernet switch - Various Logitech and Microsoft keyboards and mice Everything above is in working order. Collection is preferred but I am willing to ship if the cost of shipping is covered (I'll charge for actual S&H). I'm based near Gatwick airport in the UK (RH6 postcode) but can deliver if you're between junctions 8 and 14 on the M25 if you twist my arm hard enough. I really would like to find good homes for this hardware - I spent a fair amount of time (and money!) collecting it so would hate to have to send it to the recyclers. -mj -- Michael-John Turner mj at mjturner.net <> http://mjturner.net/

I'm spoiled because of Linux, Idris did not have commands like more, and df is different. The hardware is a single board computer with a co-processor board of some sort, probably floating point. The box looks like an ancient 1st generation IBM PC, with a huge on/off switch on the side.
