I live just
north of Fort Worth, and the big Radio Shack "Outlet Store".
They have a lot of discontinued things, and a lot of components. I assume
they'll always have them.
I've noticed that even the 'bargain bin' area that used to be
tucked back in one corner of most stores seems to be gone as well.
Used to be able to get some cool older discontinued stuff from that
section, including Model 2000 stuff. Unfortunately I also passed on
a portable disk drive in the same area at one point.

The portable hard drive? I've got one of those, I really
do need to get my 2000 out and play with it for Christmas...

I think he was talking about the PDD for a Model 100.
BTW, I have a almost complete M100 set I'm putting up on ebay during
Thanksgiving. It is a 32k M100, PDD-1, two printer cables, two bar code
readers, two cassette cables, the blue nylon soft case, acoustic cups,
direct modem cable, all manuals, a couple of other books, two AC
adapters, and a complete brown binder set of all M100 software published
by Rat Shack for the M100. I've had the M100 since new in 1984. I just
don't have room or time tp play with all of my toys, so I've decided to
concentrate on my Indy, my Sparcs and my NeXT machines. My Dimension
cube is fully outfitted and on the 'net. The only piece of NeXT
hardware that I need is a
second NeXT color printer for the slab and a Turbo motherboard for the
cube...unless Santa wants to drop a Nitro or Pyro board in my stocking!

You have a Dimension Cube and you still want more??! Some
people are never happy! <g> I switched my LAN at home from the trial
of Surfdoubler to the registered IPNetRouter and am having a blast
with my NeXT slab on the 'net, especially since adding the second NIC
to the G3.

Yeah, me too.
Somenoe on the list a while back found a whole load of
them but I
never heard back from the guy and I don't remember who that was,
That was Curt Vendel. He was going to distribute the slabs for $35 plus
shipping. I asked him several times how much my shipping would be and
where to send the money, but I never received an answer. His last message
to the list on the subject is here:

All right Curt, if you're still with us, you're on the spot! Whatever
happened to our slabs?

Actually I have a Turbo Color ADB slab, a '040 cube and the Dimension
Cube. Both of the color systems are equipted with 21" NeXT/Hitachi
(N4005) monitors and the slab has a spare NeXT/Trinitron (N4006)
monitor. I have three NeXT lasers, one color printer and three NeXT
N3010 CD-ROMS. All of the cables are geniune NeXT down to the power
cords and the SCSI cables. My internet access is through a ISDN router
until shortly after the first of the year. I'm getting ADSL 384/1.5mb
with 5 fixed public ip's.
The guy who found the sh*tload of NeXT's found himself over his head
trying to inventory and test them all, so he sold them to Rob at
http://www.blackholeinc.com . Rob is one of the two best places to get
NeXT equipment around. The other place is Randy at
http://www.channelu.com . Of course there is always evilbay. There is
a nice Turbo Color slab sitting at $73.00 right now.

I'd still like to get my hands on *a* NeXT. Does someone have some
extras stockpiled somewhere they might be willing to do a deal with?

never heard back from the guy and I don't remember who that was, if
you're still out there and still have some and you read sentences this
awkward. :-)

That's a different story than I got.....after months, I finally got a
reply (I was on the original list and had money in hand...)
He told me he gave them to some school or something. Guess he
didn't want us to know he sold them to a dealer.
Just wish I had heard from him sooner....I passed on a couple of
deals because I still thought I had a couple coming from him.
Oh, well. They made more. I'll get one someday, and then it'll sit
next (or is that NeXT) to my Lisa 2....

Now that's a machine that I really want. I have a lead on a couple of
Lisa 2's if the guy ever gets them out of his storage building.
