Looking for a good used Washer and Dryer.  
If you have a washer and dryer and are looking for an excuse to
get rid of it and get a brand new one, I am the man to take your old
washer and dryer.  I will pay a fair used price for a good-working
washer and dryer.  If you know of such washer and dryer, please
e-mail me at travis@cs.utexas.edu.
 
Thanks in advance.

Price has been lowered.

This is a full-feature word processor; comes with tutorial, screen previewer, 
save as formatted doc or text file option, spell checker, mail merge program, 
email program (for use with MCImail, CompuServe, etc), hard disk file
organizer and displayer, and a program to do outlines.  All these work 
with/within WordStar.  This comes on 3.5" floppies (but if you give me the 
5.25 ones, I can copy) and I have all the docs and manuals.

I'm upgrading to a newer version.  First $30 takes it.

Please e-mail if interested.  Thanks.

I am selling two beautiful female Rottweiler dogs on behalf of a relative
who can no longer keep them.  These two dogs are extremely gentle and
loving, and are one and one half years old.  As pets, they have been well
cared for, and AKC papers and current health documents are included.
Our concern is that these two dogs find good homes, and if you can provide
such an environment, please call and we'll introduce you to them.  One
is spayed, and the price for her is $200, and her sister is not spayed,
and her price is $300.

Call 835-6362 for more information, or send email to msc@holonet.
thanks,
Matt

Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX


I have a complete Apple //e system for sale, which includes all of the 
following:

   128K unenhanced //e CPU
   2 5.25" disk drives & controller
   Monochrome monitor 
   Star Micronics' Gemini-10 parallel printer and parallel interface card
   Wooden printer stand
   Prometheus Promodem 1200A internal 1200 baud modem
   Joystick
   Some software, including Columns //e.

This is a great system to get you going in word processing, telecommunications,
and whatever else you might want.  It'd make a great Christmas present too!
Remember, the Apple II is used in more schools than any other computer, and
has more educational software available than any other!  You can have all of
this still powerful hardware for the low price of $350.  (Original retail 
value of well over $2500!)

The only reason I'm selling it is because I already have two complete systems
that I use regularly and over the years I've accumulated enough spare parts 
to assemble another complete system!  I'm not trying to make a buck here, but
just looking to find this system a good home where it can be put to use.  Thus
the low price for this loaded system (vs. prices seen in the Statesman of over
$600 for 64K CPU, 1 drive, and a monitor!)  So, if you're interested, or know 
someone who might be, please let them know, and then let me know!

I don't quite understand your statement.  Do you mean that we

with you.

How can you amortize the cost of repairs?  (Or snow removal, for
that matter.)  Also, I was unaware that the lifespan of roads is
20 years - it seems that they resurface about every 10 years or
less.  I agree with you regarding bridges - they don't seem to
require much upkeep.  I see the year of constuction stamped on
most of them, and many were built in the '50s.

Do you mean that 100 million is a good estimate for the revenue
that could be raised through tolls, or do you mean that 100
million is a good estimate for the highways budget for the
province?

> So obviously "I sincerely doubt you can afford it." is false.

It's not obvious to me, but it certainly is interesting, isn't it?
I wonder if anyone out there can tell us what the highways budget
is for BC, and/or what the road budget is for municipalities?

If the gas was at a lower pressure (than atmospheric) nothing would ever flow
out of the exhaust pipe. Your argument seems to be based on the Bernoulli
equation, which does not apply to compressible gas flow.

This does seem to reduce the effectiveness of the testing from a
global perspective.  The environmental cost of producing a new car
vs. using an older one for a little longer is quite high.  One new
car means a lot of smoke coming out of Detroit or Japan.  It is
effective, however, in cleaning up the local air - at least
temporarily.

See above...

Right!  Too wasteful.
