hey thanks for that. Do you still attend radio
rallies, and if so are you still able to find
I've not been to one for a few years now. The last one I went to had only
slightly out-of-date PC parts, which really don't interest me at all.
Pity really, I got some very interesting toys at rallies over the years
-- the Intellec MCS8i, Xerox Daybreak (\pounds 10.00, the seller hadn't a
clue as to what it was. Nor had I, but it looked interesting, and I

to not at least keep yer eyes open for one. Or
advertise around. Yer know ;)
I will, of course take a look and keep my eyes open. Quite where I'd put
it is another matter...
