 I need several components to turn a lifeless old AT into a useful living
piece of equipment. The following are on my shopping list.

	VGA card ...... doesn't need to be fancy, just dependable
	VGA monitor ...   Mono is ok, I like the IBM 8513
	Keyboard ......   Would like tactile click, but I'm not picky
			  A "true" IBM AT keyboard would be GREAT since
			  this is an original IBM AT machine. 
	Stacker .......   Software version, upgradeable would be great
	RLL controller.   16 bit, 1/1 unit

If you have any of these parts, or know of someplace which would have all
or any of them I'd surely appreciate an e-mail

Subject: Free kitty

A fluffy black kitty to anyone willing to come and pick it up.  He
is a real sweet cat and appears to be less than one year old.  We
found him starving to death in the basement of our house in the
mountains, so we brought him home, gave him a bath (he doesn't scratch),
and have been trying to find a home for him.  He's very sweet and
snuggly.

However, he either isn't litter trained, or doesn't like sharing the
litter box with the cat we already have...I'm not sure what, but
my husband is at wit's end with him and is going to take him to the
pound this afternoon.  So, I thought I'd make a post and see if
anybody is willing to give it a try.

If anybody is interested, give me a call at (202) 885-2553.

I've got no room for two saws in my workshop.  I'd like to get

It's an oldish Sears model, VERY heavy-duty, with a very sturdy
radial arm (unlike the ones they make today).

I'd like to sell it (~$150), or trade it for another woodworking
tool or tools, especially a heavy-duty router (1/2" collet diameter).
Will consider almost any trade, as long as the quality's reasonably
good.

I am re-posting this on behalf of a friend -- do NOT respond to me.
He claims he "WILL SELL WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THIS POST" no matter how
much money is offered.
His internet address is mentioned at the end of this posting.

*****

ITEM:  Diamond Stealth VRAM Hi-Color VGA Video Card with 1 MegaByte VRAM

CONDITION:  Absolutely brand new.  My friend used it for about 20 minutes
            in his machine before deciding that it didn't do anything for
            him.  The Diamond Stealth does wonders for windows, but my
            friend purchased it with hopes of bettering a DOS application.
            No such luck.

COST:  He paid $219 (the week of Nov. 30) plus shipping and handling from
       a vendor.  The vendor does not accept returns, thus he must sell
       it on his own.

ASKING: $175 or best offer, plus shipping and handling.  (Although I
        forgot to verify this with him, I'm sure he would prefer either
        a money order or a C.O.D. transaction.)

DISCLAIMER #1  I am representing this board to you exactly as he represented
               it to me.  I have not physically seen the board nor can I
               personally vouch for its condition.

DISCLAIMER #2  Should multiple offers be received, my friend reserves the
               right to take whichever deal suits him best, including any
               offers which may be higher than the asking price.

I've decided that my collection of software that I'm likely to never
use again should be trimmed down some.  (A bookshelf collapsed on me :-(  )
I've weeded those old versions whose licenses lapsed when I upgraded them
out, so I the following, while no longer carrying registration cards,
should be fully valid copies with all the manuals, disks, keyboard
templates, etc.  While some of them should be useful for upgrading to
the current version (for example, I believe that either of the Windows
v2 copies should entitle you to an upgrade at any store carrying the
v3.1 upgrade version (but please check first if that's what you want
to do)), others are quite useful still.  Then there are a few quaint
historical artifacts available for real cheap.

You must add postage to the following prices, or pick the stuff up
in Reston, VA.  You can send me a check or get it by USPS (Post Office)
C.O.D.  I'll tell you the cost of postage if you want to pre-pay.

1) Microsoft Windows v1.01 & v1.03 (i.e., v1.01 disks, manuals, v1.03
disks and upgrade supplement to manuals)  $2

2) Microsoft Windows/286 v2.0 & v2.1 (never upgraded)    $10

3) Microsoft Windows/386 v2.0 & v2.1 (never upgraded)    $10

4) Microsoft QuickBASIC compiler v2 $10

5) Fifth Generation FastBack Plus v1.0 & v1.01 (backup to floppies
only                                        $5

6) Microrim R:Base System V v1.0 & v1.1 (relational database) $20

7) Central Point Backup v7.2 for Windows & DOS (I believe that
this is still the current version for Windows, though there is a
DOS v8 just out---this is still shrink wrapped and supports floppies,
QIC-40, QIC-80, and Irwin tape drives)        $35

8) Qualitas 386Max Professional v1? (from 1990)       $3

9) Borland Quattro Pro v1       $25

10) Borland Quattro v1          $5   [assuming I can find the disks]

11) Datastorm Procomm+ v1.0 & v1.1A      $15

Feeling differently about a living room lined with mirrors than the previous

end), together with almost enough mounting brackets to put them all up.

They're free to somebody who wants to pick them up in Alexandria (off of
Telegraph about 2m south of 495/95).  You'll need a pickup, van or equivalent,
as if you don't carry them flat you'll get interesting cracking noises.  :-)

Go to the netmail area (area two on this system). Enter a message addressed 
to "UUCP" (without the quotes). When it asks what address, enter the 
address of our local zonegate (1:373/12). In later versions of the software 
(that I haven't gotten around to installing yet) it will enter the address 
for you, and also the internet address if the message is a reply or is 
addressed to someone in the lookup table. After entering the subject and 
answering one or two other questions, you get to enter the actual text of 
the message body. Very important, the first line must contain "To:" 
followed by their internet address. I use this all the time, and it works 
well going both directions. It will obviously work better when the software 
fills in a lot of those answers for you, but I've been lazy about 
installing the new software.

That is indeed the case. Unfortunately, mailing to anyone in fidonet or 
internet for that matter is just as easy. In fact, since the arsenal has 
such brain dead routers, it's considerably easier to send mail for me from 
the fidonet side, rather than use my account out on the arsenal.

Not so far as I know, but I don't support any Amigas, and so don't
try to keep up with their viruses.

I hope you also told Waldensoft about it; they'd probably want to
pull the rest of it off their shelves.

The only systems I'm fairly sure haven't been hit by virus attacks
are supercomputers. It's hard to fit a Cray into the bedroom....  :-)
