Amen, Sam. Enrico, please use discretion in these issues. Personal issues should stay between individuals, not aired on the list. Tell us about your classic computer collection. I'm eager to hear about it.

TI 99/4a

by maxeskin＠hotmail.com

I am pretty sure that the TI itself works. I plugged in a commodore 5-pin monitor cable. The video pinouts differ, I guess, but the audio worked. It beeped when I turned it on, and booped whenever I pressed a key. I checked the modulator box cable, and it's fine. Also, the box is getting power. Still, the little led on it does not light up, and ISDN (It Still Does Nothing). ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re.: How about a weekly FS/T list? (was Sale postings

by Marty＠itgonline.com

I love the ads, anytime. I don't care how classic equipment is offered up just as long as it is being made available. I don't have any problem with commercialism either.

Even if everyone could agree on this it would last for about 1 week and then go back to status quo. I really don't mind the ads. They are not excessive, they are reaching a good market where there is a win-win (the seller gets some money and space back and the buyer gets first crack at cool stuff), and they are more on topic than the drivel that has been plaguing us for the last four weeks or so.

Thoughts about a Classiccmp private newsgroup

by rcini＠email.msn.com

Scanning today''s messages gave me an idea. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I don't remember it being discussed. It's sometimes hard to follow the list with all of the quoted-replies; maybe tracking deep-threaded messages is just not my strong suit :-) Anyway, as part of my Microsoft beta testing, I belong to a small group of "elite" testers. Called ClubWin!, we have a private administrative newsgroup that requires a login name and password. Having a ClassicCmp newsgroup would provide a threaded conversation capability. We could also hang an e-mail gateway off of the news server to provide e-mail messages for those who can't or want to use a newsgroup.

So what does it cost to send a standard shipping container from London to San Francisco on a slow boat? With a container a month, you could stock an esoteric used computer store, bi-directionally. - John Jefferson Computer Museum <http://www.threedee.com/jcm>

Burroughs B27?

by jfoust＠threedee.com

Ten-plus years ago, I was given an opportunity to scrap a Burroughs machine of some kind. I don't think it was still running, and it was the size of a small refrigerator. I pulled the interesting chips and disassembled the open-air hard disk unit. It was covered in a clear sheet plastic frame, sealed with snaps or Velcro, and the 14" platters spun in the air like a turntable. I still have the two platters on the wall. - John Jefferson Computer Museum <http://www.threedee.com/jcm>

eBay transactions

At 06:29 PM 4/8/98 -0400, you wrote: >> That might depend on whether you're selling or buying, Kai :-). A *very* valid comment. >> More seriously, has anyone here actually conducted a transaction >> through Ebay? Did the highest bidder actually make payment in >> a timely manner, if you were selling? I have both bought and sold (mostly bought, though) through eBay. Mostly Classic Computers, Donald Duck stuff, and Miniature Land Rovers. Had one problem once, when the guy ignored me for a while, then eventually claimed to have previously sold the stuff I bid on. Never had a problem with a payment. Generally, stuff is well packaged, though one time, I bought a TI99/4A in the original box, and it arrived -- in the original box, covered with duct tape. I was heartbroken. I explained to the guy that I had been interested in the box as much as the computer, and he offered to refund my money. (I didn't take him up on the offer, just wanted to prevent it from happening to someone else.) For comparison, I once ordered a Donald Duck nutcracker (new) from the Disney catalog. The 6"x6"x12" nutcracker box came in a 2'x1'x3' box, with a few sheets of tissue paper, neatly folded on the bottom of the box. I was *not* happy. The feedback system on ebay seems to work pretty well, I think. I feel pretty comfortable buying and selling there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
