Better still were the 'early' days when all the advertising came from
'known' advert sites - that way you could just put an entry in your
hosts file (be it Unix, NT, Win95 or whatever) to redirect the 'known'
sitename to your local machine. A 'broken link' image is far more
pleasing than an advert IMHO :)
(actually Altavista still lets you do this - most sites seem to store
the adverts locally these days though and access them via CGI)
anyway, enough of this off-topic stuff!!

I'm new to the list and wondered if anyone might have a line on a computer
I'm looking for. I'd like to acquire a Netronics ELF II in workable
condition, preferably with Tiny BASIC though I could live without that. Any
leads or info most appreciated. Thanks!

I'll pay $100 or less for someone to pop a cap up Mike's.... anyway,
that was an unreaonable request. It seems that he has been asking in EVERY
thread that has the word "Apple" "lisa" or a $ sign in it with the same
message.
He seems to be a new collector, and perhaps doesn't know that the Lisa
is one of those systems that we *ALL* lust over, but very few of us actually
get.
Heck, I'm about ready to pay $35 for one of those annoying 8080-based
Sharp "luggables." But it's got some software... on tape, no less.
But... a guy is free to dream.
Ciao,

I used to get there on the average once a week, never failed to visity and
take in the hardware.
What was not mentioned is even after the BCM move the TX2 and some of the
other hardware stayed.
Same for the mill, down near the atrium of ML03/1 1b (mill building 3
first floor, pole 1 (near main st)) was a memory setion of one of the MIT
vacuum tube racks. I used to have a cube ml03/6 6a (affectionatly called
rolling hills for the very unlevel floors). Several years there makes me
an official millrat.

Yah right. Me too. Heck, I'll pay $100 or less for an IMSAI, an Altair, a

MAC was 32bit from DAY 1. The 68000 was internally 32bit and in ithe
various incantations 8 bit or 16 bit bus...later ones were longer bus.
Early parts only brought out the lower 24bits of address as /back then/
<pat pending> nobody thought 16mb wasn't enough.

Subject: Model 100 for FREE
Date: 6 Jun 1998 15:18:50 GMT
I'm moving and in cleaning out my house I came
across a Model 100 along with case, AC adapter
and manual that I bought many years ago. I
have no use for this anymore, - my wife and I have
graduated to bigger things: we're wiring up our new
house for 100base-T; we maintain an NT network
and have an IBM Thinkpad 760 for a laptop. But
I did power up the Model 100 and it still seems
to work.
Does anyone know if someone might have a use for
this little laptop? I'd hate to toss it in the trash if
someone could still use it; on the other hand
I'm very busy with my move so I don't want to have
to work too hard to find a home for it.
FWIW I live about 35 miles west of Boston,
Massachusetts.

they were all 32bit from the get-go, but i think the memory adressing was
24bit which means my IIcx can only goto 16meg maximum. there was also some
issue about some applications wouldnt run because of the 24-32 bit
discrepancy, and a program called mode32 was created to circumvent the issue.
i got my copy of mode32 from connectix, who presumably made it.

I find it pretty darn slow too - both from my work connection or from
home (two different ISP's). Mind you, the entire internet seems to be
grinding to a halt these days! ("Information Superhighway" indeed! :)

heh heh, sounds familiar! It wouldn't be so bad if it only did it when
you first hit the main page from another site or a new browser
connection, but the fact that it's every time you go back to the main
page is really annoying...
tripod could be worse though; at least their pop-out windows don't
contain a huge amount of graphics, so you can close the window almost as
soon as it pops up.
I came across one site once that used external windows that you couldn't
close until you killed the browser session - very nice! :-(
cheers
