   A friend of mine recently bought out the remaining stock
  of an out of business Public Address System manufacturer.
  He has available for immediate sale:

       3 - 40 watt 5 channel mixer/amplifiers

       1 - 100 watt 5 channel mixer/amplifier


  Features:

      - bridging input and output circuits
      - RF bypassing throughout
      - load line output limiting
      - short circuit transient proof
      - 4 and 8ohm transformerless output

The Neo Geo is EXPENSIVE (something like $600 for the system, and
maybe $100 for each game?), but it IS an arcade game -- the only
difference between home and arcade Neo Geos is that the arcade ones
have coin slots.  In fact, you can buy a "game card" for the Neo Geo
on which you can save your progress on certain games, and use the card
in either the home system or the arcade game.

The Super Nintendo (SNES) and Sega Genesis are practically equal in
power and price, although I think the SNES has better color than the
Genesis.  Your decision on which to get should be based on what games
you like better.  I have a SNES with Super Mario World and Zelda III,
and it can't be beat! :)

I don't know much about the TG16.

One benefit of the Genesis is that you can buy a Sega Game Gear
handheld unit that'll play all Genesis games.  Nintendo's Game Boy is
laughable and not worth serious attention; for ten dollars more, you
can get an Atari Lynx -- I have one, and it's *great* fun.  :)  Very
hugh quality!

    * Attorney General quits in the wake of public criticism

        Mr G.Ramaswamy, the attorney general, resigned following intense public
    criticism of his role in the Rs35bn securities scam. According to his
    aids, he cited ill health as the reason for the resignation. But it was
    widely believed in New Delhi last night that he quit because of his
    connections with Standard Chartered Bank, the British owned bank which
    has suffered heavey losses in the scandal. Mr Ramaswamy is the third
    public figure to resign over the affair. Earlier Mr P.Chidambaram, the
    former commerce minister and Mr V.Krishna Murthy, a former member of the 
    planning commission quit from their posts. Mr. Ramaswamy handled sensitive
    political cases including the assasination of Mrs Indira Gandhi. His
    involvement in the scam started with revelations that he was granted a 
    Rs 150,000 unsecured overdraft facility by the Standard Chartered. 
    Accusations followed that he had given legal advice to the bank about the
    scandal. Mr Ramaswamy admits he had a visit from Mr Barry Northop, the 
    bank's special representative for India, but says it was a "courtesy call".
    Eventhough he denies any connections with the bank, some of Ramswamy's
    fellow lawyers are unconvinced and the Delhi High Court Bar Association
    has started action to end his membership. (FT)

Kathmandu - Himalayan Helicopters has begun a helicopter sightseeing and 
charter business following the Nepal government's decision to liberalize 
its domestic airline policy.

The small privately owned company began operations with a single Bell
LongRanger 206L3 last month, according to Sunil Bhattarai, company
administration officer. The 7-place aircraft is the first commercial
helicopter in Nepal and it already has performed several sightseeing
flights and a lengthy charter.
    Rental rates for tourist and charter are priced at $1,000 an hour,
flights are scheduled on demand.
	Although business is just spooling up, Himalayan is receiving
many charter inquiries, Bhattarai said. The company is studying
acquisition of a second helicopter, a new Bell 206L4 LongRanger, which
would be delivered in early 1993.
	Each aircraft could average up to five sightseeing flights a
day in a peak tourist season, which generally runs from September
through May. The aircrafts are available to operate throughout Nepal,
except in geographically restricted areas.
	It employs five management staff at its Kathmandu base, and
contracts with the Nepali army for its seven pilots and three aircraft
mechanics. Some of the pilots have 23 years of flying in Nepal's
rugged terrain, Bhattarai said.

Amritsar - The most wanted Sikh militant in Punjab was killed on November 15 
in the latest major success against the separatist campaign in India's
northwestern state.

Front, was killed after a two hour gun battle in the village of Ginder near
Firozpur.
	Makhu was the most wanted of the Sikh separatists who have been
fighting for Khalistan.
	Police said Makhu was responsible for some 500 of the thousands of
killings in a separatist campaign in which the majority of the victims have
been Sikhs.
	They said that acting on a tip of, Police surrounded a house in Ginder
early on Nov 15 but people inside opened fire. When the shooting stopped

    blocked at a dozen places in New Delhi. At Moradabad, a National Student

    * India rejects rapid tariff cuts

        India ruled out drastic import tariff cuts as part of its program 
    of economic reform. Mr Ashok Desai, the finance ministry's chief 
    economic adviser, said tariffs had been but by 10% since the reforms 
    started last year and would continue to come down at about the same
    rate. "The average tariff can't fall at more than a certain rate which
    is fairly now", Mr Desai told a businessmen's conference. Mr Desai's
    comments dashed the hoped of foreign companies, but reassured many Indian
    industrialists who had expressed concern that they had not been given
    sufficient time to prepare for the rigors of international competition.
    Mr Desai's comments came amidst a stream of signals from the government
    that the pace of deregulation will be slower than expected. A policy paper
    adopted by the cabinet said the govrnment would continue to play a 
    central role in guaranteeing "remunarative prices for the forming 
    community".
        The IMF and World Bank expressed satisfaction so far with India's
    progress. World Bank president, Mr Lewis Preston has praised the reforms
    and urged India to press ahead rapidly with further deregulation. He
    said that maintaining the momentum was essential, but, a safety net was
    important to ease the shock of moving into a more market-orinted
    economy. (FT Nov 16)
