	Well... tought I had this thing sold but the kid couldn't come up with the
	cash, so here it is once again, price reduced in the interest of a quick
	sale:
 		  	
	1987 Hyundai Exel 2 door, dark blue 75,000 miles. Runs well but needs a new
	clutch (it slips when you go up steep hills and such) and has a couple of 
	dent's from parking in Boston. Overall the car is in pretty good shape. it 
	has very little rust and a few new parts (front brakes). It always starts
	without a problem. It has the stock Panasonic AM/FM cassette deck. If your
	interested email me or call me @ 508-670-0607. The car is in Billerica, Ma
	and can be seen any time of the day parked in front of 1 Handel Road. (Corner
	of Allen Rd. and Handel Rd.). 
	
	I'm selling it because I have recently inherited a car and have one to many!
	I have to sell it ASAP since my landlord is getting bent about all the cars
	in the driveway, so all offers will be considered.

    I have a 1990 (new) Martin D-16M for sale.  It's a long story,
    but the ending is that I have to let it go.  I've only played
    it ~10 times since I bought it two years ago.  Perfect condition,
    plays real easy with medium strings.  Sounds beautiful with a
    mellow treble and a rich bass.  Comes with a Fishman Thinline
    pickup and hard shell case (and a new set of strings).

    $999.00

  -- mouse and pad
  -- carry case and the power cord
  -- 110/220 volt auto switchable power supply
  The computer is 1 year old and we are asking $1700 which could
be negotiable.

If anybody is interested for any of the two let me know by e-mail.

Cheers,

Or you could go through the UUCP maps and call the sysadmins of sites

Right.  In fact, the Germans refer to beer as "liquid bread"

 Tomato glop.. at Royal East? What the heck are you ordering? I've eaten 
there probably 50 times.. and I can say, I've never have gotten any part
of a tomato there... Perhaps if you order Sweet and Sour pork.. or
some chicken with peanuts dish.. you will be disappointed.. but order
Shreded pork with pepper and onion.. or roast duck with eight delights..
or the whole fish..or the lobster.. (why anyone would consider a lobster
steamed to be better than one that is chopped into easy to eat pieces
and wonderfully seasoned.. I don't know..), and you will always be
satisfied.. IMHO Royal East is 10x better than MC... don't want
to start that boring flame war again..

Yea.. but it is dozens of different vegies/spices/meats in hundreds of
permutations.. not beef/noodles/tomatoes/basil in everything..

 Don't mean to cause too much of a controversy.. but how many 
people feel like me? When I go to an Itallian restaurant.. I'm 
always disappointed.. no matter how wonderful the atmosphere..
the food is mediocre..

Ok.. I'll look into these places.. I'd love to find out what
people like about Italian restaurants.. As long as entrees 
are below $10 I'll try it.. I'm alway looking for places 
I can get to from MIT via foot or the T... Any suggestions
to 'educate' me into the wonders of spaghetti topological
conformations?
