Well, I just acquired some VT100's, albiet without keyboards. So, now I'm looking
for some VT100 keyboards - even broken or damaged ones.
Also, I _just_ missed a Zenith Z29 terminal (newer than the Z19, with detachable
keyboard), on eBay, simply because I forgot to bid before I left the house. Augh! So,
I'm looking for one of those too - does anyone have one that is looking for a home?
Also, while I'm looking for stuff, anyone have a Qbus Pertec tape drive controller
that'll work in a Vax?
Thanks guys!

Back in the day, the Z29 was probably the last discrete terminal I used on a daily basis.
It
was connected to a VAX11/750 running BSD Unix (which I administrated for the Physics
department
at Purdue University). The one I used had orange/amber phosphor and in my opinion, out of
all
of the terminals I used over the years, was the best terminal that I ever used, period.

How about a Heathkit H29 terminal? I have one that needs a home.

Whoops. That wasn't supposed to go to the list. I've been having all kinds of
problems with Yahoo lately. If it hangs when sending a message, hitting 'Back'
clears any changes you've made to the 'To:' field. I've also had issues
with it hanging, then going through, resulting in sending out duplicate messages. I've
even called Yahoo about it, and they are of no help. The sad thing is, that I'm
actually _paying_ for Yahoo Premium email! (Yes, I know, better alternatives exist now,
but ten years ago...)

You're not the only one having fun with Yahoo. Yahoo Groups keeps
insisting on bouncing my mail.
I see that they are providing evidence to Microsoft that they are
properly pigheaded so the merger can proceed properly.
