assistant: i
I have a HP/Colorado T-1000 I'd be willing to part with
for a reasonable offer.  It is less than a year old and
only 4-5 hours use on it - full warranty also available.
The reason is I have outgrown the capacity. Have to re-
place it with at least a 3.4gb (T-3000).
BTW, I used to work as 2-stroke tuner at Laurel Motor-
Cycle Sales back in the late '60s.  Are  they still in
