Forsale HP Desk Jet 500C, Wanted some books.

Unfortunately, this can be had new at TriState Computers for $380,
according to the 30 December post of prices for popular items (unless the
500C is different than the 500).

Also, could the author please post his or her email address (if this was

This is a really neat software package that allows users to use
high-speed centralized database services on an OS/2 server.  I will

The set includes two boxes, both never opened (still have the original

reasonable offer.  Keep in mind, this is more than just the basic OS/2 2.0
extended services...  This has a very powerful database server package.

This sort of ad is explicitly OK according to the  NSFnet guidelines, IMHO.
The main rule of thumb is the "one-end" rule which says that one end
of the transaction must be for educational or research use or benefit.
This rule allows commercial companies to respond to requests for
information, allows head-hunters to post help wanted ads, and IMHO
allows a commercial software company to *give away* software to
students for the cost of shipping and handling, which seems to be what
Lotus is doing here.
  A s'ware company plugging a 5% student discount would not be
appropriate, but this looks fine. 
  Betsy
PS It strikes me that you will probably draw some heat because of the
(unintentionally? ) inflammatory way you posted your message. Shouting
"THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL even though some sysadmins say so" will get
everyone on edge. Posting "software giveaway to students " might have
passed with less notice.

  I've had this drive for about 2.5 years and haven't had any problems.
  I'll throw in the RLL controller(WD, 1:1 interleave, controls 2HD, 2 floppys)

  PRICE: 200$ + shipping.


  ---------------------------------------
  IBM pc/xt EXPANSION CASE with power supply
  The id tags say: IBM personal computer expansion unit, model 5161
  I only bought it for the case and power supply.
  I have tested both power supply cables coming from the power supply
  and they work(at least the power a 65MB hard disk).
  There is also a backplane board that has 8 slots in it. I guess
  they are 8 bit slots, because they are the same size as the 8 bit slots
  in my PC. There are also 2 cards labeled "receiver" and "transmitter"
  which fit into these slots(so i guess both are 8 bit cards). I assume one of
  these cards sit into this backplane and the other sits in the backplane of
  another machine, then you can use slots in this machine to plug cards into.
  These cards are connected by a cable which didn't come iwth the machine.
  I didn't really expect the backplane and cards to come with the case,
  so you can have em if you buy the case.
  I bought this used but decided i didn't need it.
  PRICE: 35$ + shipping

Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA
Date: Fri, 8 Jan 1993 18:22:41 GMT

I have the following car stereo equipment.  This equipment has been
installed once and was just recenlty removed when I purchased a
new car.

----------------------------------------

Sentrek SCR-990 Stereo
        It is my understanding that Sentrek is made by Pioneer

Auto-reverse cassette
18 FM / 6 AM presets
Seek / Scan tuning
Cassette Music Search
Dolby
Auto Metal-Tape sensor

The display is amber in color.  I do not know the "type" of radio
it is, but it has two posts (one on each side of the cassette). 
Please verify that you will be able to mount it before your
purchase.  I believe that there are adaptors for most vehicles,
though. 

The only problem with this unit is that when using the cassette
music search, sometimes the light doesn't light up (but the search
works great) so you aren't sure if it is searching or not.

Also, there are no instructions, unfortunately.  I can't find them
anywhere.

I bought this stereo about a year and a half ago for $225.  I'd
like to get about $75 or so.

----------------------------------------------------------

Pioneer TS-X3 Speakers

60 Watt
Wedge style

Purchased 2 years ago for $150.  I'd like to get $40.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sentrek SR-518 Speakers

60 Watt
5" Door speakers w/ grille

Purchased a year and a half ago for $65.  I'd like to get $30.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sentrek SPA-185W Amp

160 Watt Amp (80w+80w)

There are some scratches in the casing, but it functions
excellent.  It really adds some "thump" to your bass.

I purchased this unit a year and a half ago for $120.  I'd like to
get about $50 if possible.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kraco CCB-4007 CB Radio

40 channels + PA-out jack

$10

-----------------------------------------------------------

All prices are considered "or best offer" and do not reflect
shipping, which will depend on what is being ordered (we can hash
that part out).

Boy, I've gotten enough remarks about this I thought I'd post a quick blurp
on it... :-) 

The Samsung chips were in the machine when I bought it... I didn't buy
them direct.

Check the cash only box on the UPS COD tag again.  It reads

cashiers check, certified check, money order or similar instrument.  All
payments are collected at shipper's risk'

This is right from the tag.
