I've recently joined, but if this message is a request for parts, a friend of mine has some ASR33's. I think he has original maintenance books too. Let me know and I'll forward him your request.

Bell & Howell on EPay

by lgwalker＠mts.net

Some people on the list were declaiming how valueless the Bell and Howells and Apples in general were. Check out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2044128294 At $400 with still time to go for the snipers, and in a slow market. And the Lisa 1 twiggy was relisted and is at $6200 with 4 days to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2044987754 Lawrence lgwalker(a)mts.net bigwalk_ca(a)yahoo.com

This will be a nice opportunity for me because I haven't been to VCF East yet and you New Englanders don't seem to want to come to VCF West. :) -- Derek

Trouble contacting me?

by foo＠siconic.com

BTW, in case anyone has been having trouble contacting me over the past couple of days, I am suffering from DNS woes (i.e. the DNS servers that used to point requests to my server are no longer). I am working on getting new DNS servers up and running and hope to have this fixed by Monday. ACCRC/UsedTech/Aftermath Technologies is also affected, for those of you trying to contact them.

Microsoft vs Lindows

by mythtech＠mac.com

>Do you know of any rulings that said the owner of a trademark >shouldn't have had the right to it in the first place? I don't know of any, but if I'm not mistaken, the first judge that has seen this case specifically questioned if MS should have been granted a trademark for such a common term. Some case always has to be a first case... maybe they will get lucky and this will be it (wouldn't that be great... the "Windows" trademark gets revoked and a million fly by night companies pop up with 3rd rate OS knock offs called Windows, all in the hopes of catching some of the "idiot" market that doesn't realize it isn't MS Windows) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

There is also precedence that similar sounding trade names with similar product can be considered a violation of trademarks. ( McDonald's has won a few of these ). If they had the name before M$ then they might have a case, otherwise, I doubt they will get vary far. If the court feels that they chose the name to sound alike, they will not win, regardless of prior usage. It is too bad, I'd like to see M$ take a hit on this one.

Old Sun Equipment Available

by bill＠cs.scranton.edu

I have some old Sun Sparc systems that need to find a new home (preferably not the dumpster in the parking lot). Is there any one here who might be interested. I have SparcStation 1's I have SparcServer 330's and even a Sun4/something that was in a 7' high rack and includes a 9 track tape drive (which worked quite well the last time I used it.) A SparcPrinter (sometimes it has a problem picking up paper, but this is usually just dirty rollers. I have a spare toner cartridge and drum for this.) All of this stuff is at the University of Scranton and would need to be picked up. It's free, although I wouldn't turn down some PDP or VAX trinkets (expcept async boards :-) in exchange. Please reply directly to me. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n. Three wolves bill(a)cs.scranton.edu | and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
