Hi all...
  I've just upgraded my PowerBook up to the gills and I don't need the 2MB
RAM expansion card that came with it initially.  I would like to sell it for
$100 (or best offer) shipping included.  Please mail me if you are interested.

this is really a follow-up of my previous posting;
the tv and blender are both sold. i am selling the
following items _very_ cheap - else i'll get round
to giving them to goodwill. make an offer, take em
home. please dont ask me about these beyond next 4
days since by sunday, i'll just give these away...

(1) procter-silex pop-up toaster - 2 slices - this
	is about 3 months old, hardly used at all,
	and its box is also with me (if you want).

(2) kenmore iron with steam options etc. - this is
	a few years old - again, this must've been
	used at most six times.

(3) ironing board - essentially new - 3ft by 1ft -
	approximately.

(4) weights & bench - made by "challenger", almost
	unused (which is why i am trying to sell),
	weights are plastic covered, the condition
	is ok - it is not absolutely new, and what
	little it has suffered is due to disuse.

first offers above: $10 for (1), $10 for (2), $4 for (3)
	and $20 for (4) gets them. but mind, you need to
	cart them away (especially the weights & bench!).

... a lot cut, but you get the picture. actually, i tend not to include myself
as part of the "cultural left" - another nice phrase. what i was getting at
was more attitude and motivation behind using such labels, which is revealed
aplenty by you. by using cheap measures of what i mean, such as race, to sup-
posedly cut down what i was saying, i think the discussion is being badly short-
changed. i think the main shortcoming of labels such as "pc" is that they
are a way for people not to address the real issues underlying the talk. if
you wanted to actually address any particular issue, that would be great.

I am looking for housing in Downtown Vancouver area (or preferably close

I am looking for a spacious place with access to a kitchen, phone,

Please feel free to contact me through email.  If you know of someone who

Isn't English funny? That little slipping in of the word "other" modifies the
the sentence to mean you associate left-wing views etc. with ridiculous

another topic for lengthy flame/discussion wars. Really. As if the (economic)
activism of other's labour and intellectual property doesn't filter down 
and cause change in society (ie jobs, prosperity). But maybe changing the 
word "chairman" to "chair" will have the same effect. (NOT!)

Organization: The Old Frog's Almanac, Vancouver Island, Canada

It is my understanding that the Nanaimo Association for Community Living, a
non-profit association which provides care for the mentally handicapped, has
approximately $3,000,000.00 in assets and cash, including about $400,000.00
in term deposits, and a $54,000.00 surplus from the year's training
accounts... this in an organization that refuses to reimburse employees who
take mandatory first aid training at a cost of $25.00, and which constantly
hassles employees over expense items which are clearly documented and within
the realm of normal administrative functions.

Is this _normal_ for a non-profit organization which is chartered to provide
care and services for handicapped citizens?

This is, after all, public funding this bunch is accumulating, which is why
it seems so strange...

for a 16550:
many computer stores will carry this, so call a few places.

But if you want a reputable source that will have them:
try Electrosonic or Hamilton-Avnetjust to name a couple of electronics
places; even Active Components should have them.

I'm not sure how common a 486 heat sink is (are they mass produced, or are
they minor leauge: only a few thousand at a time?)

As long as it fits the PGA style package of the 486, then it will do.
(How they keep it from falling off, I don't know.)

Do you *need* a heat sink? The 486, 386 etc are in a big ceramic PGA package
that's designed to dissipate that kind of heat, as long as you have enough
air cooling. If you have problems you think are heat related, maybe something's
blocking the air flow in your computer, like a card. If you use rated clock
speed, cooling etc. you don't need a heat sink.
