Sorry I can't talk much at the moment, but I would like to ask you to pass this on to the ClassicCmp list. I cannot take the gear but it should _definitely_ be rescued. Wish I had the space (and time too! This is short notice for me.). Guess the fella found my email address through the Rescue List or maybe a web search, or ? East Aurora is a suburb of Buffalo, it's about five to ten miles southeast of the city and about ten or so miles "inland" from Interstate 90. Best regards to everyone. I promise to write to you, Sellam, later in the Fall to see what's been happenin' lately. -Chris NNNN -- -- >From: "Eric Kotz" <eric(a)erickotz.com> >To: <cfandt(a)netsync.net> >Subject: Data General Eclipse in East Aurora, NY being scrapped >Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 09:50:54 -0500 >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106 >X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=5.0 > tests=none > version=2.31 >X-Spam-Level: > >Hello, > I saw you are interested in many Data General systems.
