Maximizing value selling a working 11/34

> I seriously doubt the splitting of the H960 from its feet or not will > influence the outcome of a job position. I don't know, because I don't know enough about their exact financial state. But it doesn't matter, for two reasons: First, given that it's for a good cause, it shouldn't matter; it will help, that's all one needs to know. Second, even if it weren't for a good cause, "the splitting of the H960 from its feet" is - or should be - No Big Deal anyway. It's not like the parts are going to be melted down, or anything; they will just be re-arranged. So someone who has e.g. a three-bay system, with feet on the two end cabinets, would probably be quite happy with a fourth bay without feet. And at the same time, someone who has a one-bay system with no feet would probably be ecstatic to finally find feet. Everyone's happy, all the parts are in good homes; where, exactly, is the problem?

Decent... well... Hard to tell... If you use an external USB mini keyboard they're decent :) There's the free version of Mocha TN5250, just for an example...

Maximizing value selling a working 11/34

yea but I doubt a pair of H960 feet would be a make or break for her... just 'sayin.... In a message dated 12/8/2015 12:37:21 P.M. US Mountain Standard Time, wdonzelli at gmail.com writes: > Mmm, of your business depends on the value of a vintage computer. You should ask yourself if your business can survive anyway. We know nothing of the business situation. small consulting firms are notorious for having huge swings in cash flow. It may be that the business in question really is dying, or they may have a monster sized check "in the mail" from a client, and the owner just needs some cash to get over the holiday. A close relative of mine has a small consulting firm, and she goes through periods of months with no money coming in, even with clients owing her six figures in payments. Some clients (governments, mostly) can take a year to pay! -- Will

Maximizing value selling a working 11/34

> bah! sacrilege! So you've got someone working for you, been working for you for years, and you think it's more important to not commit the sacrilege of splitting up an H960 and its feet, rather than to have to tell them they're fired, that they have to go home and tell their spouse and kids that their parent doesn't have a job any more? Excuse me if I don't agree. Noel

> From: Johnny Billquist > (Or maybe I'm just naive in thinking that people who request assistance > to maximize their profits targeting the same crowd they ask for > assistance from (for free) is abusive.) _I_ am not selling the item in question; I merely happen to know the seller, and am doing them a favour (since I happen to sympathize with people whose jobs are about to disappear). I expect they will use eBay to actually sell the item; I am fairly certain that it _will not_ be offered through this list. So I think your statement above contains at least two mistaken assumptions.

New release of FreePascal

by linimon＠lonesome.com

So I just saw this commit go by on the FreeBSD ports mailing list. Since some people were talking about Pascal a month or two ago, I thought it might be of interest to them. I'm sure commits to various Linux systems will be done as well. fwiw, I removed the 1460+ lines of diff :-) mcl ----- Forwarded message from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ----- Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 23:29:37 +0000 (UTC) From: John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> To: ports-committers at freebsd.org, svn-ports-all at freebsd.org, svn-ports-head at freebsd.org Subject: svn commit: r403082 - in head: .

There are a ton of new features, way more to list here. see: http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0 Several new unit ports were added, some were contracted. Most of those were absorbed into the main FPC packages, but two units are no longer supported: sndfile and matroshka. All 99 remaining ports (including Lazarus ports) were build tested on FreeBSD i386 and amd64 Release 10.2 ----- End forwarded message -----
