> 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.

Bingo.

I seriously doubt the splitting of the H960 from its feet or not will
influence the outcome of a job position.

_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.

Thanks! I remembered that one selling, but I couldn't remember where.

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 :-)

New Revision: 403082
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/403082
Log:
FPC ecosystem: Upgrade version 2.6.4 => 3.0.0
This is the first major release of FreePascal in nearly four years.
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

Hi there,
Recently, I've been reading up into AS/400s.. They seem like really neat machines, and look really sharp with those matching block terminals.
I remember retail stores using those, and I always wondered what kind of a system they were running on... I figured it was DOS!
I've been having trouble locating one, however.
Anybody have one lying around, or know of where to find one in the Toronto area?
It needn't be a high spec machine, just something to play with OS/400 and a terminal.
Thanks!

So I've been informed that a pair of PDP-11/04's are available, Chicago US
area. The price isn't set - someone else has offered the owner ~$400, which
seems a bit low to me (although I don't know what peripherals/memory are
included, if any). One is in a 5" box, and one in an 11"; both apparently
include the basic "Operator's Console" (i.e. halt and reset toggles). Contact
Patrick Lynn at 815-838-0134 if interested.

The PDP-12 donor to the RICM needs an appraisal for the charitable donation.
I already suggested Vintage Tech.
Any other suggestions?
