Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1992 17:25:36 GMT

The much-delayed computer book catalogue is back from the printers.
It's free, it lists about 3500 computer book titles (either current
or forthcoming) ranging from PC applications to technical & theoretical
CS stuff.  Buncha UNIX books.  

The September rush of students buying textbooks is about to begin, so
I don't want to lure anybody down here.  (And ftp.cs.toronto.edu has
graciously made the text of the catalogue, in bib format, available
for anonymous ftp, as /pub/ecat92.shar.Z).

Hi,
 
	I've been checking the forsale groups, but thought I'd submit
an article of my own.  

	Does anyone out there (particularly in western ontario region) 
have a used PC system they want to get rid of?  Ideally the following
would be needed as it would be used by my cousin mostly for word 
processing, etc. (simple stuff).

Ideal:
  	CPU	286
	mem	640k +
	drive	40-80 Meg
	disk	3.5" &/or 5.25"
	screen	B&W or Color - whatever.
	... etc. ...

Thanks for any response,
Jason Uberig.

   Sounds like a job for a lesser machine.  Even a 386-40 with an Adaptec 
1542b would classify as overkill.

> these things really move.  can't wait for the 50 Mhz doubler to come out.

   I would expect the P5 to be out (at 50 MHz or so) soon, and I'm not holding 
my breath on '100 MHz' DX2 chips.

I would suggest Foodworks on Bloor St. just east of Bathurst.  They have
a good selection of desserts, as well as food.  On the weekends at
least, they are open 'til at least midnight.

=======================================================================
 Radio and (mostly) TV tubes.

 Approximately 43,000 (forty-three thousand).

 These are New, unused, in their original cartons.

 The part-number/quantities list is 18 pages long ...

 - If you're local to Toronto, I will FAX the list to you. BBS/Email
   your fax number to me, or call (416) 531-3344 and leave a message
   (please wait a few seconds after the beep, then speak slowly!)

   or...

 - Send me a BBS/Email message, asking me about specific part numbers
   that you're interested in.  I'll check the list and let you know by
   return message.  (I am _not_ familiar with tube technology.)

   or...

 - By mail: It could cost me as much as 25-cents per page to copy
   the list, so if you want the entire list mailed, you must send $5
   (cheque,cash,or stamps) to cover my photocopy and mailing costs.


 Once you've studied the list, you'll know if they are what you need,
 and will be able to make an appropriate offer.

 What's the "fine print?" ...

 - I will *not* sell off bits and pieces.  The buyer must take all
   43000 of them - lock, stock, and barrel.

 - They must be picked up: You'll need a van, or make multiple trips
   in roomy car.  I *might* be willing to pack them up and send them
   collect C.O.D, F.O.B Toronto.  Talk to me.

 - These *are* new, but are offered "as is," without warranty (I'm
   not in the tube/radio/tv/repair business).

 * most of these are old TV tubes, so I don't expect much.

 I inherited these via a death in the family, from a relative who was
 in the TV/Radio repair business for many years (Century TV).  These
 tubes are of no use to me, so I wish to liquidate them ASAP, without
 incurring any expense in doing so.

 Some of these may be rare or hard-to-find items.  If you know anyone
 in the Radio/TV repair business, please pass this note along to them.

I'd prefer something less than a year old, and ideally in warranty still,

I am looking for a Nintendo PowerGlove and Sega 3-D glasses.  We are
involved in creating a VR interface to one of our products, and
will try the Sega glasses and the glove as a beta interface, then progress
to the expensive hardware!
I can't find any downtown , Nintendo's stopped manufacturing them and I
believe likewise with Sega -  does anyone know where I can still find
any of these ?  I haven't seen any advertised in the papers as well.

If any VR gurus are reading this, has anyone tried interfacing the
glove to a UNIX machine ?  Is a lot of bit banging involved ?  Any
