assistant: Hello there...For a number of weeks now I've been trying to coorispond with
various patrons of this echo. Alas, I've had little or no success in getting
responses from people who would seemingly appear to be selling hardware!?
This is my desperate plea...
If you are selling any of the following items for an AMIGA 1200, then I'm
more than willing to buy it from you! NO HASSLES! I'm willing to buy the
following items A.S.A.P.!!!
               1) IDE HD (make and model not important!) 120 megs or greater!
               2) 1942 CBM multi-synch monitor (or any simular substitute!)
               3) 28.8 modem (or greater!)
               4) CDROM (model and speed not a big deal)
If you are selling any of these items then contact me via this echo
A.S.A.P.!!!
All purchases will be made by means of a MONEY ORDER in your curency. All
shipping charges will be added to the MONEY ORDER prior to myself mailing it!
Thank you for your time. :)

  I bought one of those "electronics mats" that you "usually" place under a
VCR "or similar electronic equipment" cut it in half, and I had two nice BIG
Rat-pads...costs about the same, but when you chop it in half, then you've
got TWO mouse pads...and there's more than enough surface area on both to
last quite a while...they're big enough so that when one is partly worn out,
you can just rotate it and use the other side of it...and when that's worn,
replace it with the other half that you tossed into a drawer/the closet... =)
