oi if the person picking up that stuff doesn't want
the Otrona, I'll sure give it a good home. It would
have to be shipped though.
Memory sounds nice too, but whoever picks it up I'm
sure could make ample use of it.

I responded to them directly expressing interest in the Osborne Exec (my first
computer!) and the RAM, and maybe some of the other bits (cables, boards,
etc.) There's no way I could deal with the whole thing either, but if
somebody does snag that stuff I'd be interested in those bits.

Has anyone received a reply from the person with this equipment? I
wrote to him last night, about 30 minutes after the original post hit
the list, but have not heard from him. I'm quite close to him, and
willing to redistribute what gear I can't use (probably at least half
of it.)
3:47 p.m.
OK - scratch that....I just called and his voicemail announces that
all the gear is gone :( Anyone local get it? I was mainly
interested in the TRS-80s.

dude, the most direct means would be by phone. Just a
suggestion.

OK
that makes sense

Well, Allison is a woman, but I'd be scared to call her a "chicky-poo",
since she definitely does NOT seem weaker.

A lot of it is because a significant part of the motivation for this hobby
is memories of bygone days, and there were very few women involved with
computers in those days.
In my company, people chose their own job titles. When my VP (self
inflicted title) hired a woman to work in our Comdex booths, she gave
herself the job title of "bait"

Define *involved*? There certainly have been plenty
of chicky-poos working in graphic design and all (real
dudes didn't use Macs, did they? LOL LOL LOL).
Generally they aren't all that inclined to wax
nostalgic over an old puter though.

Ahahaha. I like that. I like it loads. LOL LOL LOL
Remember Kiki Stockhammer? Worked for Newtek first I
think, then moved over to the Snappy folks (were they
related in anyway?). I mean what's more *baiting* then
a woman named Kiki?
We all should think what could be done to get more
chickys involved in this hobby though...
