As someone who has been looking to buy a condo for over a year (and as
someone who bought and sold two units recently), I am appalled at the
junk available and the prices involved.  Also the real estate agents,
professionals that they try to be, either do not inspect their listed
properties very thoroughly or else if there are problems, they are
mentioned very briefly then glossed over.  I bought a unit in a
Kerrisdale strata bldg. that seemed very nice.  Right after I moved in I
heard from my downstairs neighbour that there had been severe water
damage to his suite from my bathroom.  Looking at the replaced tilework
in my bathroom I saw huge cracks in an improperly-sealed wall.  Also met
another neighbour who had been there since the building went up and he
went into great detail about how the builder had to redo the water pipes
and electrical wiring as everything had gone in upside down!! So I put
the place on the market and luckily found someone willing to take it off
my hands for what I paid for it (minus, of course, the agent's
commission).  If I had gone to Ed Witzke or another building inspector
and paid $300 I could have saved myself a lot of trouble.  So I would
recommend that to anyone looking to buy new or used!

IDE drives (obviously not what they are running, but will show what 100mb 
drives are) <$300 wholesale in Vancouver (bought one last week).

And higher up the hard disk drive price range, $3650 will buy you a *fast*
2GB SCSI drive and might leave you some change.

Of course you still have to add in controllers, raid hardware and overhead,
systems integration, systems operation, backup, maintenance, etc. And markup.

Capital costs for a beast like this should be amortized over about three years.

Now that I have trimmed down my cartoon collection to only the very best
and out-of-print, I would like to share them with manga fans of the world.
By sending me ONE DOLLAR, you get a 10-page sample (with English subtitles!)
of cartoons by Maruo Suehiro, a man of profound artistic inspirations.
If watching movies like Akira gave you an amphetamine-high, why, these
will instantly rocket you into crack heaven.  You won't be disappointed.
If you are interested, send cash or money order with a self-addressed,
stamped envelope to:

Henry Robertson
2206 Durant Ave. #5
Berkeley, CA 94704

One dollar is not a very big risk to take, folks.  If you would like a 
complete catalog to get an idea of the selection, feel free to e-mail me.
I'll be here over winter break.

I look forward to hearing from you....

Just so you know, Liana, resellers DO PAY Bell Canada contribution
charges to subsidize the cost of local service with long distance
revenues, and that is why the CRTC has ruled that there is no reason for
Bell to "up" its local service rates because they are still receiving
subsidies, and, by using a reseller, you sill use Bell for your local
service...if you could not dial a long distance number with your
reseller, you can always dial regularly through Bell (minus the
discount, of course!), and Bell still has to service your line if there
is a problem with your phone lines!

Just so you know Sean , resellers DO have to pay contribution charges to
Bell Canada based on the volume of long distance calls they process to
subsidize local calling!  And, they also pay Bell an interconnection
charge as well.  That is why the crtc believes there is no reason for
local rates to go up!

Can anyone recommend a CD rental outlet in Metro Toronto?

I've already been to the place near the ROM (can't remember the name),
but wasn't too impressed, as about half the disks ("World's Largest
Selection" my arse!) available were by Elton John, or so it seemed.  I
also know about the "CD Bar".

My tastes lean to Canadian alternative music, but I'd be interested in
outlets with any non-mainstream selections.

Thanks.

It's true!  It was working at 16:00 on Christmas Day.  After returning 
from a great dinner, my 286 no-name, not even the deputy prime minister's
choice, was cooked like Mrs. Prothero's Christmas dinner (1).

Anyway, my aged and noble 16 bit MFM HD/FD controller card has passed
on.  Santa sneaked down the chimney and BLAM - ESD from rubbing down
all that creosote.

I really need one.  New ones are $65.  I figure the dusty one on your
shelf next to your Quadra manuals is worth $25 or so.  I know you paid
$150 for it - like, too bad, eh? - Wanna trade even for a printer?

I'll even drive to far away places like Etobicoke and Scarberia to pick
it up.  And if I you get this message after 92.12.28 12:00 - too late.
I'll have left to go fatten the purses of the Golden Shopping Centre (2)
on Queen St west.
