Eight-inch

I visited a shop in "Siberia" which I hadn't visited in a long time today. they had redecorated, and in the inner-most room, they had a "50% off" shelf. They had several sealed packs of eight-inch floppies, BASF-made. Their price? Five crowns! And then fifty percent off that, that's 2,50, or 25 US cents. I got two to begin with (I only had some change, and wans't aware that the discount was referring to the 5 kr merchandise. I also got some Token Ring NICs, a TR cable and a sealed case of 5?" DD floppies at the same price. Some things I did't get: A lot of WANG things; several ISA cards with BNC and TNC connectors, printer adaptors (boxes with BNC and Centronics connectors), baluns. Original Novell NE2000 cards. Bad cards, but nice to some collectors, I suppose, and useful for programmers. Odd PhoneNet concentrators. -- En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.

When they show anime it's even cooler... Geoff Cowie
