For sale****************


Fender Squier seris Precision Bass.  

I'ts red and in great shape!! 

Only things wrong are a couple of small chips
on the back that are basically not visible unless you pick up the guitar and
look at the back.  Since it is red you could fix them quite easily and well
with some glossy red fingernail polish.  I have not done this because I don't
have any red fingernail polish and I don't necessarily want to take my bass into
the local Revco to match the color


I bought it in June/july of '91 for a little over $300 (yes, I paid too much!)

Selling it because was looking for something different and got a Jazz Bass.

Asking around $150 but will consider any reasonable offer (PLEASE NOTE THE USE
						OF THE WORD REASONABLE!!!!)


Great learning guitar (Worked wonderfully for me) and just in time for Xmas.

Shipping is not a problem Because i still have the box my Jazz bass came in.



I also have a Crate B20XL amp that I may sell If i get a god enough offer for.
	It is a wonderful amp that is great for practicing but is not quite 
	loud enough for playing with a band.  I still have almost 4 years left
	on the extended warranty!!    $125.....firm.


Feel free to E-Mail with any questions you may have

Make me an offer!!!!!

I have a Mac SE 4/20 with 1.44M internal SuperDrive floppy
that I would like to swap for a PostScript laser printer. To
sweeten the deal I can include my Panasonic KX-P4450 laser printer.
The KX-P4450 is an 11ppm dual-tray non-PostScript laser printer
which emulates the HP LaserJet series printers. Since moving to
the Mac platform I find I need a PostScript laser printer.
The KX-P4450 comes with a Grappler IISP serial-to-parallel
interface which uses the Apple LQ ImageWriter printer driver.
Works fine except that it isn't PostScript.

Please send email if you have an a PS laser printer and would like
to swap for my Mac SE.

Thanks.

I would imagine that this might spawn some 'unfair practices' and such
discrimination type  law suits in the future, as well as some pretty
bad feelings abong truckers.

I know that the argument is that such vehicles are commercial and as
such have a variety of laws that pertain to them exclusively, anyway,
but I think that the ban may eventually be universal, or over turned
altogether.  Like whe women brought suit that it was infair to allow
men to go shirtless and not women, they just made a law to ban the
men.

We will see.

Not really considering that radar jammers (which are illegal in all
states) are quite prevalent among the over the road truck driving set.  I

This is very true.

Times change, attitudes change.  The one thing that hasn't changed in
American society is that that you and only your are responsible for
looking out for you and your family.

But for the benefit of all society we should look out for one another!

  Nobody is obligated to provide
for you.  Not your mother, not Uncle Sam, not Cineplex Odeon.  That's a
fact.
 
Sad, but also very true!

  Consequently, the unemployed are only victims of their own lack of
self-sufficiency; not victims of the big, heartless corporation (if you
plan to follow up to this, please keep the quote in context).

Sometimes they are victims of corporate idiocy. Poor planning. Lack of  
foresight. Piss poor management. Piss poor managers who are only looking  
out for their own interests. The list goes on. This kind of business makes 
a painful impression on the minds who also help to build the companies  
that turn and screw them. God is watching. He's very pissed. And the end  
of the U.S. is at hand. Remember Rome from your history books!! The very  
fabric of the nation is going to tear itself apart. And it will come from
within.

  Under a capitalist economy, growing dependent upon a non-guaranteed  
source of income is the first step toward failure whether you are an  
individual or a large corporation. 

This is a valid point. But business drives society today. It steers the  
average american to just that. Growing dependant. nothing in life is  
guaranteed that is for sure. Those folks are getting a bad break the  
really sucks. I also hate unions, it's a shame a third party has to step  
in and tie loose ends together but in some cases even today they are very  
necessary.

The big picture is not that Cineplex Odeon is displacing 300 families (a
drop in the bucket compared to the planned lay offs at General Motors),
but that capitalism has very little room to be concerned with the plight
of the workers, a fact that very few people seem to realize.

Capitalism is based on evil and greed. I'm not a communist or anything so  
you can be sure I'd screw you before you could screw me. However I'm not a  
greedy SOB so I'm always open for whatever communication necessary to see  
that we both have the things we need. Things you want should come from  
hard work and perserverance not fucking over the other guy. It'll  
definately come back to haunt you!!

I heard some program on the radio the other day where some guy was selling a
course that would improve your memory.  Of course on the radio it sounded
fantastic.  They say that they can improve your memory 500% within 30 days
or your money back.

Instead of using word association to remember things.  (Like if you want to
remember a person whose last name is Stork think of the bird.)  They have
some formula you learn that is supposed to increase the amount of things
you can remember.

I don't like to take radio serously and I wondered if any of you had ever
heard of the Mega Memory system.  They are based out of Portland Maine, and
their number is 1-800-862-MEGA.

They also have a 30 day money back guarantee.  Even if you never heard of the
Mega Memory system, what do you know about the guarantee?  Are these things
easy to get your money back on?  Or do they require stiff rules?

Radar detectors have been illegal in both Connecticut and Virginia for
as long as I've been driving.  It doesn't really matter in VA with 65
mph speed limits and few cops, but CT can be a real hassle with 55 mph
limits and many unmarked patrol cars.  I have a fiend who was pulled
over near New Haven by a minivan.  
It seems that bans on radar detectors are completely legal.

The only time I encountered the $25 fee, I was told it was for our credit
check and was indeed nonrefundable since it went to the credit agency, not
the landlord. Interestingly, though, if we were approved and moved in, it
would be credited towards our security deposit. We did and it was.

Later on I got to be on the landlord's side of the deal when my wife and I
swung a deal with them to show the vacant apartments in our building in
exchange for a break on our rent. We got a variety of internal memos for
building managers (ours had none, so we were temporarily filling the job),
and we got to see that, yes, the $25 did go straight to the credit outfit.
Mentioning the $25 to applicants seemed to do wonders for dissuading the
ones who weren't real sure whether they wanted the place or not and would
otherwise just file an application on a whim, thus effectively blocking us
from showing the place to others until the first party's application was
checked out and they got back to us to let us know if they deigned to move
in... not to mention the couple who showed up drunk...

My feeling was that it's a not-too-offensive way to identify the serious
applicants for the apartment. Class-conscious? I don't think so; we had
all flavors of nationality and social strata in our building.

Of course, such bans are illegal under federal law.  A bill passed
back in the 1930's affirmed citizens' rights to receive signals
throughout the electromagnetic spectrum.  Under one interpretation of
that bill, radar detectors are legal...regardless of what the various
states might say.

Of course, this hasn't been tried in court as far as I know.  ;)

I too refuse to give away $25.  If a landlord has 25 prospective renters,
he has a lot of money to deal with that he won't give back.  This shit
started on the southside some years ago when landlords decided they didn't
want to spend their own money for credit checks.  Most realtors are large
enough where they have an account with a credit bureau and the fee for
them is nominal.  Landlords with one or two buildings that don't change
tenancy except for every few years don't bother with a credit bureau
account.  At any rate, I refuse to look into an apartment that wants to
charge me to investigate me.

I did take the apartment I have now (3 years) and paid the fee, only
because I really, really wanted it.  Otherwise, think about it; if you look
at 5 apartments and each wants a $25 fee, that's $125, or expenses for the
truck you'll need to move.
