Hi all,

With great regret and sadness, I decided to leave Prime/Computervision
at the beginning of  the year.  It has been very hard to say goodbye
to the place that I called home for almost 10 years.   It  is even harder
for me to stop working with PI and PI/open  on a full time basis as this
is something that I have been doing since 1980.

I would like to thank all of you for the chance to work with and meet
many of you over the years.  This has been a very positive and rewarding
part of my life.

I wish you the best in the coming years.


Regards,

Lance

I have a very extensive collection of EPS clip art.  It includes:

        1. The entire C.A.R. Graphics library.
        2. The entire Totem Graphics library.
        3. The (almost) entire 3G Graphics library (doesn't include
           their recent "Accents & Borders 2" package).
        4. Most of T/Maker's clip art.
        5. Packages from several other clip art companies.

My wife used to do graphic design work on the NeXT while I was at work.
She no longer does that (we have 3 kids, and 1 on the way), but the result
was this massive clip art library.

If you are interested in the clip art, send me email and we'll discuss it.
There's about $5000 worth, and I'll probably want to let it all go as a
package for around $1500.

I am looking for 4MB SIMMS for my NeXTstation Color (25MHz).
If you have not yet sold the machine and are willing to
yank some SIMMs, I'm able to pay ~$70/SIMM plus COD UPS
ground.  (They are $115 new.)  The SIMMs must be 80ns or faster,
and I need a total of four (16MB) but will buy pairs.

Thank you for your consideration,

Jim

The thread about NeXT campus prices and NeXT being of particular interest
to students reminds me (not that I have forgotten really) to ask, in
general and to any one at NeXT specifically... why is it that We here in
Texas (and at UT, Austin particularly) do not have a NeXT representative?
Its been something like a year since there was a NeXT Campus Consultant at
UT, Austin and since our Area Rep (district rep, whatever) left we don't
seem to have any kind of NeXT support. I can't even get spec sheets of the
new products, I haven't even seen the ADB keyboard, and every single thing
I know about NeXT systems I either learned from doing or read on the net
or in NeXTworld. I only have documentation for NS1.0 and our store had to
buy a copy of NS3.0 and wait months for it. I feel like I am trying to
climb a glass wall to sell these machines. Maybe when you guys get through
playing musical chairs at corporate could you sort of give us guys in the
field a hand? People would buy your stuff if you'd just give them a chance.



Be assured that these are my opinions and not those of my employer or the
University of Texas.

Those prices have got to be without displays!

NTSC NeXT Dimension board with 20MB RAM (four 4MB SIMMS, four 1MB SIMMS).
With 17" Sony Trinitron monitor.  If you followed the NeXT monitor story,
then you know that the Trinitron monitor, when hooked to an ND system,
results in a slightly smaller visible display than normal.  However, in
my opinion, it is still much preferable to the old Fimi monitors.
This monitor also has a light, 1" long scratch in the paint on the top

Subject: tape backup rentals

Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 16:50:14 GMT


I would like to rent a large tape backup device, a SCSI 525M system for  
instance, but I haven't found any computer rental companies that rent  
them.

I don't want to buy one, because they are somewhere around $2K.  Also, I  
really just want to backup the applications, NeXTStep, etc. (not user  
data) on my drive.  The idea is that I backup the system now, and if I  
lose everything on my hard drive, I can recover with another rental.

It seems to me that there may be a market for this.  I wonder just how  
many people would be interested in renting a unit like this for, say $70 a  
day.  Probably two people could split this cost and each backup their  
systems in one day.  At this rate, it would take around 30 rentals to  
recover the full amount of the backup device.

Send me some email if you think this is a good idea, and also if you might  
be interested in renting one as well (Chicago area only).

If you don't know, then I guess 'Bzzt.  Wrong.' is the incorrect response? 
Check, then insult.

Ah.  now I see the word complete in your sentence.  I didn't say that was a 
complete system.  I said "The mono is with soundbox & misc, the color is 
without."

well, at least we agree on something.

I think that it is safe to say that computers can be defined as the opposite
of the term 'investment'.  Since it seems fairly possible that next will be
getting out of the hardware market, I'm willing to wait until prices drop back
to what they were last summer (btw, I saved posts from then if people are
curious).  I like next.  But, then again, I like osborne too.  Anyone wanna
buy a couple? :).

I have an OD for NeXTCube for sale. It is in very good shape and low
milage since it is only used as a backup device serveral time before I
have a tape drive. It comes with a filter and 3OD, one of them never
used.

I would like to have about $680 as a package or the best offer takes
it.

Let me know,
Andy
