Heh!  Guess you realized that $2400 was a bit insane, eh?
And, you've *tried* it in a PC, but what were the results?  Did it work?
Did it fry the motherboard?  Did it work slowly, normally, like a bolt
of lightning?  Don't leave us hanging like this!  ;-)

We have a 135 gallon Oceanic fishtank drilled and set for an overflow filter 
(special order) with oak stand.  The stand is solid oak (beautiful piece of
furniture - very smooth finish not at all like most sold in the stores).  
The tank has never been used (except to hold my collection of coral). 
15 gallons of bioballs will be thrown in.  Delivery assistance possible in
the DFW area.

For the tank, stand, and bioballs, we are asking $900. If you want to negotiate,
give it a try. All either of us will lose is a little time.

  [ Fishtank Fishman thinks costs too much...]
 
  I may be wrong, but reading this, I suspect it's still not clear to
at least one person, possibly to others, exactly what this is.
 
  The tank contains a biological filter built into the stand, eliminating
the need for undergravel/outboard filtration. When I had a 135 gal. tank,
I needed both. And a canister filter large enough to do the job was NOT
cheap.  Well, at any rate, it's not just a tank. It's a tank PLUS filter,
and a filter of a type widely regarded as superiour to other technologies.
 
  "Overflow filter", it's called. OK?

The tank sounded cool until I read the price!!!! $900 bucks?!!!!
No filters, no lighting....... $900 bucks!!!!!!!! I think you have 
one zero too many there. A new 125 gallon tanks WITH full hood and
undergravel power filters costs less than 300 bucks. Unless this $900
tank fetches the paper too, i think you are asking for a fantastic amount of
money. 

If you inded made a typo on the price, hey, I'd be interested.. If not,
good luck.

Thanks to my involvement in Kidlink, I can advise that there are
currently problems with the .SU domain for the Soviet Union (or
what was). It is to do with splitting off the states of Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania.

Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 10:14:50 +0200

Yes, there have been massive changes in the SU subdomains
that last couple of days. Notably zone files have been set
up for every registered subdomain under .su, these zone
files do not reside on ns.EU.net (but on ns.fuug.fi), and
the SU zone file of course reflects all these changes.
Please note that the only reason why the primary server
for the .su domain and subdomains reside on the mentioned
hosts is that there is no IP connectivity to the x-USSR,
which is why they can't run their own nameserver. The zone
files are in fact not maintained by me, but by the naming
authority for the SU domain; I just put in the zone files
what I'm told to put in there by the naming authority.

Anyway, I've already contacted the authoritative people,
since there are problems with more .su subdomains.

    Seems like the LAPD and friends have managed to get the news media back
on side again aswell!  When is this crap going to end!?!

    I am not condoning what these three men did to the truck driver, I think
that they should pay for their crimes.  The reason why this is outrageous, is
that having a black judge would have helped relieve the racial tensions that
must be running high in Los Angeles!  Maybe people were scared that they would
get the same convictions as the LAPD officers that attacked Rodney King!

I dunno -- it was a pretty active group for a time, although the actual

But it _did_ get killed off by much the same "mogals" who introduced the

I thought it would have still passed even if you did remove James' seven

Irrelevant.  If you set the limit too high, groups that are of interest 
but aren't being pushed by someone with 80 loyal followers begging for extra
credit won't get created.

Cerebos Greggs used to make the Maltexo line of brewing malt. I used to be able
to get staff discount, but no more. Besides, Cerebos Greggs have actually sold
the malt side of things off to some other company. If you want, I could try to
find out who actually makes the Maltexo stuff these days. You may be able to get
wholesale prices direct from the company or something.

I remember seeing some 44 Gallon drums of Malt sitting outside my office one
time when I was there. I really wanted one of them.

I'm after a cheap source of either malt extract or malted grain.  

I have found a local health food shop selling 5 gallons of malt
extract at $17.50 which seems reasonable.  The local home brew shop
sells it at $4.50 per 0.75 litre ... way more expensive.

The homebrew shop sells malted grain (amber) at $4.50 per 0.5 kg which
