Allison famous in Singapore!

She found her a working HP ScanJet for free, a copy of the software was also free and then scrounged for an interface card which fit an IBM PS/2 machine (a 286). Her net cost so far has been only US$10. She uses Laplink to transfer the images to a 486 for OCR and editing. The resources available decided the configuration she would use. " I KNOW this is the same Allison! I just hope she remembers where she "scrounged" this stuff and maybe I'll start selling old machines in Singapore <g>. All kidding aside, she is a model for women that wnat to show others that they can do whatever they put their minds to, despite stereotypes. They didn't mention that Allison also does just about anything else she puts he mind to. It may also show the world that she's just cheap (hehe) I have a feeling that there is starting to become more than a nostalgic revival for the older equipment. I've had tons of inquiries into the PS/2's I have, for use rather than collecting, and even more in machines that I've previously had problems selling or trading. I sold a ton of Commodores lately, from Vic's to Amigas and I don't have a single unit left in sight. Maybe the average Joe and JoAnne are getting sick and tired of $2500 every 3 yrs just to keep up with the Jones'??? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Blakeman RB Custom Services / Rt. 1 Box 62E / Harned, KY USA 40144 Phone: (502) 756-1749 Data/Fax:(502) 756-6991 Email: rhblake(a)bbtel.com or rhblake(a)bigfoot.com Website: http://members.tripod.com/~RHBLAKE/ ICQ UIN #1714857 AOL Instant Messenger "RHBLAKEMAN" * Parts/Service/Upgrades and more for MOST Computers* --------------------------------------------------------------------
