Orlando hamfest last weekend - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

14 Feb 2002

Hey Mike --

Thanks for stopping by the shop.  It was really good chatting with you
again (even if Joe and I tend to get involved in our usual gripe sessions
;>)

  From: Mike &lt;dogas(a)bellsouth.net&gt;

  First, I knew that Joe's CC reentry was being
fueled by a *few* cool Intel
...
  MDS-800 systems so I brought down an Intel MDS 235 for
him (that was
 originally his to begin with) to add to his growing 'Intel Gravatational
 Field' 
Yes, we junkies always encourage the return of "lost sheep" by giving them
a couple of free fixes ;>)

...

 Joe and I started early Friday and Saturday and I scored all this real
 cheap: 
[list detailing tons of cool classic stuff snipped]

Nice work!  Is there usually *this* much good stuff at hamfests?  Not that
I've been to one lately (being a slave to the shop) but ones I've attended
in the past had little in the way of computer-related goodies.

...
  There were also several classiccmps not picked up
because of high prices
 like:

     Several TRS-80 100 portables and one with the portable floppy and a
 Model 4
     SGI Indy
     Timex ZX81 
Okay, was that a Timex Sinclair TS1000 or a Sinclair ZX81?  What was the
condition and what else was included (manuals, box, ps)?  And what was the
asking price?

Anyway, I'm glad you had fun in O-Town.  Next time you're heading this way
drop me a line.

Glen
