Fiat 1979 Sports Coupe, 2000cc engine - this car is in very
good running condition.  The engine/tranny have 87K on them,
but they accelerate and mesh strongly, with the superb handling
you would expect from a REAL sports car.

The car has been well-maintained by a mechanic friend.  It
has an AM/FM cassette, is silver with blue interior.  The top 
is 2 years old.

The tires are OK but probably need replacing w/in a year +-,
and the vinyl seats are beginning to tear (I have fake sheepskin
covers - silver).  The car's paint is five years old.

I am asking $2500 obo.  The name is Greg Plant; 408-737-7370.

	Well, it's time for a tune-up and smog certification for my

so I don't know where to go. I mean, Fast Eddie isn't going to come all
the way up from San Diego, you know? 
	I'd like some referrals from all you bug aficianados out there. I
live in north El Cerrito (almost Richmond) and work in Berkeley. So, any 
place near those two locations, or close to the BART (I have a bike...)
would be great. I'm also a starving student, so not charging outrageous
prices is a plus. 

	On another note: I'm looking for seats for my trusty steed. Is
re-upholstering a better idea than total replacement? All the stuffing
(the wierd lint stuff and horsehair) is coming out and there are metal
pieces sticking out, so they're almost a total loss. Structurally sound, 
though. Referalls appreciated on interior work, too.

Local Mountain Character (i.e. two stories, lofts, open ceilings, natural

Complaining to the station doing the blocking won't do any good either.
They aren't about to help lose viewers for themselves ... the problem
is with the FCC ruling ... 

What it really is is a blind to allow the cable company to cry a poor,
helpless victim's role. It allows them to say, "Look, we're just doing
what the FCC has mandated ... and if you feel screwed, well ... it's
not OUR fault. Go cry to someone who won't really give a flying ..."

It's another case of our government (in this case the FCC) only regulating
when it is a detriment to the populace. Good ole FCC's attitude seems
to be, "To hell with the citizenry ... we have to protect these poor,
poor television companies. After all, we work for them .. don't we?"

We citizens have to complain, en masse, to the FCC, and the people
who allow TCI its monopoly status. We have to put pressure on the
proper congresspeople ... those that will fight for markets everywhere.
And we have to complain to the people who advertize ... boycott their
products. Let them know that that the way to get our business is not by
making us a captive audience for their commercials .. 

If our local stations, and I don't for a minute consider channel 46 and
the others local stations -- but that's what is alleged, can't hold on to an 
audience except as can be provided by these draconian methods, maybe they 
ought to have their licenses revoked. These licenses could then be given to
individuals who would remember that their place is to serve, not dictate
to, the public.

Unfortunately, it isn't TCI's doing - the FCC allows the management of
geographically nearer stations to require cable companies to block out
geographically more distant stations that carry the same network programming.

This is a royal pain, since it means that we give up getting some programs
in MTS because some of the "more distant" stations are stereo, but the nearer
ones are mono.

Complaining to TCI won't do any good - they are required to do this by law.

However, it would be effective to contact the station making the blocking
request, and complain to them. Maybe they will listen to you...

Has anyone else noticed that our newly named cable company TCI 
( which used to be United Artists) has dropped prime time transmission
of channel 5?  This means, that while most of California, including 
Sacramento, the entire Sierra Nevada and L.A. see prime time on ABC, CBS and 
NBC an hour earlier. Show like Northern Exposure which used to come on at 
9:00pm now come on at 10:00.  Until two weeks ago, TCI gave us channel 5 at 
prime time, now they block it out with their FCC disclaimer. We've had 
channel 4 blocked out for months, but I didn't think they'd block out
channel 5 too!

I'm not that big of a TV watcher, but I do like some of the 9:00pm 
shows to come on at 9:00 on 5 instead of 10:00 on 46.

After posting, I read an article in today's (Tuesday, 1/5) Mercury News in
the "Santa Cruz/Montery" section explaining what happened with channel 46,
and why.

Sorry, I was nowhere near a computer when I was reading this, so I can't
type it in.
