 Thanks to all that have an interest in my 3 ASR33's with tape readers
Since Bill Gates used one in his Dorm Room as an incentive to
Microsoft, I have decided not to reply to the Firm offers I have received,
but to place these machines on EBAY for Auction to establish the actual 
value.

 When and if I do this I will e-mail an announcemnet to you.  If you are
bothered by this e-mail and do not wish to participate, please reply
and I will delete your address. Otherwise I just may put them instorage
for my GrandChildren!  :~)

Best Regards.

Sigh. 
	#1 it is unclear if Bill Gates *ever* had an ASR33 in his
	Dorm room, that stupid and largely inaccurate TNT movie
	not withstanding.

	#2 it is unkind to misstate one's intentions, especially
	to such a large group.

Next time please write:

	I'm going to try to squeeze every penny I can out of these
	priceless historical pieces, even if it means melting them
	down for their copper content.

Rather than insinuate that you actually care whether or not the person who
gets them will preserve them or not.

I don't believe there is anything "Wrong" with being cash greedy and
history foolish if you are honest about it.(look at all the money that was
made selling Egyption pyramid artifacts for their gold content!)  Just
don't stop by this list and pretend you want them to go to a preservationist.

Sigh,
--Chuck
