I have a cousin in Colorado that will do anything for a buck. Email me if you are interested. BTW, he's a licensed Bond agent and travels to pick up humans all over the country (florida, washington, DC, etc.), so he will pile a bunch of manuals in a rental van and drive them to you, probably for the same amount as if it were a human. Not cheap, but would get you your paper. (suv rental + his time, gas, food, probably ~$450) thanks Jim On 6/24/2016 12:24 PM, Jay West wrote:

It is just that he is independently employeed, and makes these trips maybe every one or two months to recover someone, frequently for another agent in one of the 5 or so counties he covers. It is hard to find people that can just drop things and go, but in his business, others out of his office can cover his reportees, and if someone skips the process of going out to knock is done by someone he works with if he is away. So he is a unique resource in that regard, and because he is a bonded person for his work, I feel that is a plus so you can rely on something showing up, rather than a pig in a poke (and just have Jim's word that his cousin is a good dude). Anyway, if someone wants that, or for that matter in the future if something shows up, he and his friends could round up and drive a load for you at cost+ basis. My current Kansas City friend who is reliable is currently swamped with A/C business, which as you might guess has his feet glued to the KC area. So if something in that area was needed, wait till the weather cools off and he might be available. might be useful to have a thread with people who know relatives, friends or the like to do rescues to look back at when you see the odd large load that you'd like but in the wrong zip code. thanks Jim On 6/24/2016 3:31 PM, Mark J.

Mark, I may have a couple of the Version 5 paperback books that can send you, one is a user's manual and the other AFAIR system manager's manual. I am slowly emptying my office at work so they could move to your office. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "...underneath those Athabasca University : tuques we wear, our Athabasca, Alberta Canada : heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black
