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.
Before I give in to the temptation to e*** this critter, anyone know
anything interesting about it or care to make me an interesting offer
(sell/trade/etc.) on it?

I'd love to go to VCF west, but my budget won't allow it...
Anyway, I'm located in Framingham, about 15 miles west of boston.
Most of my collection is in storage, but you'd be welcome to see

I remember something similar named 'pitfall' in which you descended
through a pit which varied in width, with targets all over the place
which you tried to hit without being hit, and without hitting the
walls...

Never heard of that, though I'm sure I would have remembered the game if
I saw that scenario!
Can you remember if it was a commercial stand-alone game or one from a
tape or type-in magazine (like from Cursor)?

Which monitor are you running? Also, what version? If running the RT11SJ or
RT11FB monitor, try RT11XM. Keep in mind that RT-11 is basically limited to
64k (IIRC), and has to do tricks to use more than that.

Hi everybody,
I'm going to be in Boston for a few days next week and in western
Massachusetts (on the way to Tanglewood) next weekend. Is anyone
in either of those areas? 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. :)

BTW, in case anyone has been having trouble contacting me over the past

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.

Probably not much longer, but yeah, I've got a couple

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)

Hi
All of this about prior use may not help. Trademarks are different
than patents. 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.
( Just my opinion and not a legal statement )

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.

Sorry, no suggestions for the fault you're seeing beyond what you're
doing. Wanted to say I've recently acquired one as well, in working
condition. If you'd like me to examine some part of it or snap a
quick picture, let me know.
I could use a new print head for it, in case anybody's sitting on
some, or could recommend a reasonable source. I also need to find a
tensioning spring for the right side tractor... Time to find/visit
the local typewriter/sewing machine repair shop, I guess.
