Greetings, I sell computers NEW; and I'd like to mention I can BEAT 
GateWays Prices and depending on your needs, my systems come with
lifetime tech. support (800, of course!), or 2 years labor warranty [
the costly part]; as well as on-site service.  We also build the
computers WELL, and are certified Class B.  Another point to mention is that
we don't charge outrageous shipping charges for systems.

While Gateway is a good company, your friend should look into purchasing
a computer elsewhere; if not through me - one of th eother myriad of
computer companies prevelant throughout the industry. Its def. worth it.

If you'd like your friend to get a quote, or have us put together a system
for him, have him call M-F 9-5 EST. toll free, 1-800-769-3748 (1-800-
POWER-4-U); and ask for Marty [thats me].

Hope this info helps!

I am looking for several out-of-print books on flags.

I've scoured used book stores, written to public libraries,
placed ads in antiquarian book trade publications, and hired
book search services - all to no avail.

Four of the titles I am looking for are as follows:

Smith, Whitney
Flags and Arms Across the World
New-York, McGraw-Hill, 1980

Pedersen, C.F.
The International Flag Book in Colour
Blandford Press, 1970

Smith, Whitney
The Flag Book of the United States
William Morrow and Company, 1975

Barraclough, E.M.C.
Flags of the World
Frederick Warne, 1978

Does anyone have any of these books in their possession, or know of a
used bookstore where they can be found?  I'll pay the going rate
(currently $50-$60 a title) plus postage for any one of these titles.

These books are of little value to public libraries
now that they are outdated, so I hope I can catch
some of the libraries before they remove these flag books (and others)
from their collection and toss them out.  I'd hate to see a flag book
get thrown in the discard pile and sold for fifty cents.

I'll generally buy any book on flags that I don't already have in my
collection, providing it is of some value to me.

If you have any information on the titles listed above, or  any other
flag books, please send a message to me at the
e-mail address below.

Hi everyone:

I hope I've targeted the correct groups for this request, if not please 
accept my sincerest apologies.

Would anyone be able to tell me the CompuServe mailing address for 
'Practical Peripherals'?  This information shouldn't be too difficult to 
find out for a CompuServe user, PPI operates a support forum on 
CompuServe (I *think*, from memory, it might be 'GO PPIFORUM') and 
posting mail there would probably reveal their CompuServe User Number.

I need this information because I am having a miriad of problems with my 
9600SA manufactured by PPI.

Please reply via e-mail.  Thanks in advance!

You don't give us much to go on.  When you say the turbo is disconnected,
do you mean the wire between the button and the circuit board is broken
or just unplugged?

If it's just unplugged, then all you probably have to do is open up the
machine and locate the cable (it's usually fairly easy, just follow the wire 
from the button.)  Now, near the one side of your circuit board, there should
be a large collection of pins sticking up (usually with assorted cables 
connected to them), two of these empty pins will be the turbo connectors
(they might even be labelled if you're lucky.)  Plug in the cable and voila!

If the cable is broken, do the above, but attach a new cable instead of 
using the old one.

Is that what you wanted?

    Chris.

I have a Fujitsu Eagle (10" SMD) in *excellent* condition.  I would be
using it on my Sun 2/120, except for one thing: This drive was designed
for better cooling than I can provide in my limited space.  I also have
a 2/120 pedistal w/an 8" SMD disk in it that I *am* using - and the
pedistal has room for another 8" SMD drive.

Soooo, I'm looking to swap the Eagle for an 8" disk.  I'm willing to
accept a loss in capacity (the Fuji formats to 380 or so Megs, I'd
settle for 2-300M, or even a 160 in a pinch...) in exchange for a drive
that doesn't turn my computer room into a blast furnace.

Failing that, I'd trade for a SCSI drive in the 200-300M range.  I'd
prefer the SMD disk, tho.  (Yeah, I know, I'm a twisted SOB.)

Like I said, the disk is in *excellent* condition.  I've used it, and it
runs really fast.  It's also *really* heavy, which brings me to the one
major problem I have: This is a big mutha of a disk, and I'm not gonna
even *try* to ship it.  I'm located near Albany, NY, so I would imagine
the exchange (if any) would take place by hand.  If you're within 6-7
hours of Albany, I'd consider meeting you 1/2 way.

If you're interested, my work # is: (518) 877-8600, x528
If you are *really* interested, my home # is 518-377-9288

It may be that you need to change the setup.  This is what happens on my
system.  Yours may be different.  Read the doc that came with your system.

When my system boots, it tells me to hit <ESC>, IF I want to break out of
the boot sequence and enter the setup.

When I hit <ESC> I get kicked into the SETUP program.

My system has a SLOW/FAST setting for the TURBO.  If its set to FAST,
the system is always fast and the TURBO button has no effect.  If its
set to SLOW, then the TURBO button will switch the system between its
SLOW and FAST modes.

Hope this helps.
