This must be thrown out very soon.
Anybody that wants this please contact me to arrange shipping or picking up
from London, UK.
Very big and heavy item.
It seems to be OK mechanically, but rubbish comes up on LCD screen. Maybe a
faulty chip. Anyone know which chip this is and have a spare to possibly
get this back in full working order?
Otherwise, it gets thrown in the skip!
No, I don't have anywhere to put it. Nor do I know what the electronics are
like. But...
Yes please, I (probably) want it. I'll come and fetch it some time soon - how
long can it wait? (my next definite London trip is end October).
But, what size paper does it use?
Philip.

New subject: Binary packrats converge on VCF
Binary packrats have two states;
No room, brought something home anyway, making more storage space.
Room, just finished making more storage space, now making the rounds...
............ I wish I could make it to VCF, I have a little shelf space...

Or just exploring the Alternate Reality of 6 marbles in a 5 marble
pipe.

How do you contain the pressure of the Stuff already there? Mine
rushes in to fill any low-pressure-area, let alone a vacuum caused
by Making More Space.

VCF Arrival and Attendance Scenarios for Mike Ford:
Try driving up Sunday... not that far, 6 hours. Shuttle planes
are cheap, splurge a little. Drive up Saturday, find fleabag motel
in which to crash, have nice drive back Sunday. Take new Mercedes
520 out for a *real* test drive. Sign up for private pilot
'Discovery' flight and distract the instructor till you get to San
Jose. (Offer to buy lunch as compensation). Hitchike, accepting
rides only from persons driving Ferraris or Corvettes. (See Mercedes
entry above). Invent and perfect Teleportation device. [hurry; only
two days left].
And your excuses now are... ?
C'mon, Mike... if *I* can make it, I'll bet you can too....

As was demonstrated last night, when after cleaning my entire office to
the point that I could actually see desktop and more than 20% of the books
were vertical...an entire HP3000/37 system, in pieces, with two huge 7914
drives *and* the 7974 9-track drive (which is now talking hp-ib, thanks
John and Bruce Lane), was suddenly sucked into the vaccuum...
C'mon, Mike... if *I* can make it, I'll bet
you can too....
I think I can safely say, "If *I* can make it..."
See everyone there,
Aaron
