I came across a carton (10 boxes) of Panasonic laser printer toner KX-P450 in my "I forgot about this stuff" stash. This is the toner for the old KX-P4450 series. I still have a 4455, but it's destined for the scrap heap, as it's not any better or more useful than any printer I have now--and is a messy bugger to refill. My question is "Can this toner" be used to refill other printer cartridges?" In other words, is most printer toner pretty much the same stuff? --Chuck

Pascal not considered harmful - was Re: Rich kids are into COBOL

I think people confuse Turbo Pascal with "standard" Pascal. Turbo brought a LOT to the table that you simply coudln't do with a standardized Pascal compiler. Borland never quit tweaking the language - Object Pascal hit with the 5.5 release of Turbo Pascal and that was improved upon even further with the 6.0 and 7.0 releases. When Delphi hit the market in 1995, it really blew people away. Had Borland's management not run the company into the ground, Delphi would be a lot more popular than it is today. Fortunately they used their last functioning brain cell to spin their developer tools off to CodeGear in 2007. Embarcadero purchased them a while after that and have continued to improve upon the product - both Delphi and C++ Builder. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.

Anyone need spare 11/05 - 11/10 keys?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

I have just sent email to everyone who responded about wanting keys; if you wanted keys, and did _not_ get that email from me, please email me now so I can add you to the list. Or, if you didn't reply before, and have decided you do in fact want some - they will be about $1.50 per key, plus postage - let me know. (Although I will likely be able to get these keys made for the indefinite future, so it's not 'now or never'.) Noel

IBM-11 Card Punch

by marc.verdiell＠gmail.com

Great work and cute card punch! Some similarly gifted folks at CHM are just rebuilding an IBM 01 right now, and it's equally cute and minimalist and bullet proof. They tell me it's how you'd re-punch a bad card in a hurry in the middle of a jammed job. I can't resist a shameless plug at my own 029 restoration. Machine discovery and hauling back from Kansas to California courtesy of Carl Claunch, who has been busy since getting the IBM 1130 (and own 029) he brought back into action. But this extra 029 gave me a satisfying, if modest, first electro-mechanical restoration project, from nothing working at all to full up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnnGbcM-H8c&list=PL-_93BVApb59yIG2RELONEYOzJ 3lMXsqV Marc On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 6:10 AM, Dave G4UGM <dave.g4ugm at gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > Some time ago I bought an IBM Model-11 electro-mechanical punch on E-Bay. > It > was in a bit of a mess as someone had partially dismantled it and not > re-assembled it properly.

8-inch floppy mailers

by dave＠661.org

A couple years ago announced here that I had 40 8-inch floppy mailers. Four people wanted them, but I cannot get in touch with them any more. So, here it is again: 40 8-inch floppy mailers for shipping. -- David Griffith dave at 661.org 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?
