Friday and Saturday Finds - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

27 Oct 1997

Can you do me a favor, and when you get the info on the NeXT cubes (I'd
kill for one of those.), and a Sun , which I don't know to much about, but
I really want to learn.  
Ciao,

PS- Info on Bulliten Board Services (BBS).  Remember, before the WWW caught
on, that's what we'd log onto and post messages, etc.  I want to know about
some old BBS software for DOS and earlier versions of Windows, and server
software.  (Get what I'm trying to say here?)

As soon as the call comes in I will be driving down to get the items and
will sell or trade all the excess items. Keep computing !!

 Do you want to sell these things?  Because if so,
I'm really interested. 
Where I live (In Bahrain, in the Mid-East), everyone has gotten rid of
anything 5+ years old.  (But not to many people have anything much newer :)
...
 !)  I might have a lead on an Apple I, and other of the
older models of
Apples, but that's with a friend in the US, but if I do get some, I'll let
everyone know.  I REALLY want a NeXT cube, and a Sun, if you find enough.
