They don't seem to be blocking the worst offenders (cyberpromo and

phone and messages to support(a)crl.com, and even did things for
their users. Things are not as good now.
Sam I've been trying to send message to you
for over a week. I get yours but
can't reply. Here is a sample of what I get.
The problem is that CRL (Sam's and My provider) has arbitrarily decided to
cut off incoming mail from various providers. Juno, Earthlink, probably
others. They claim it's because they want to stop spam, but not only do I
still get 10+ spams a day, but I get it with From: addresses that they've
supposedly blocked.
Meanwhile, my sister. friends, and clients cannot send me e-mail. Sam can
be reached at <vcf(a)siconic.com> and I can be reached at
<sinasohn(a)ricochet.net>et>. I dunno if Paul Coad has another e-mail address or
not (He's on CRL too.)
I can be reached at pcoad(a)teknowledge.com as well. October will likely
be my last month with CRL. If I unsubscribe at CRL and then resubscribe
at my new ISP will I loose my "third guy on the list" status?
Classic computer stuff:
It looks like I'll be getting a DG Nova 3 soon. My first mini!
Any advice on moving a Nova other than bring some friends?
I know that it has a fixed/removable hard disk. I do not know
the model. Is there a way to lock the heads? Do they need to
be locked?
The guy I'm getting it from also is interested in selling his Apple IIe.
It has:
Waldo board (sound card) working vut one of sensors has been damaged
CP/M board with Digital Research CP/M
2 floppies,
Trinitron monitor
misc software (flight planning and project management)
The system is working. A quick look at the apple II marketplace
newsgroup showed that the parts are possibly worth $50. But then
again I saw a complete IIe system with monitor and two drives for
$15 at a thrift store recently. How much are IIe's going for
these days?
Thanks,
