Yes, it appears to be the full game, but it does have a sticker on one
end that says "does not include free tech support".  It is in a complete
retail, unopened box, still shrink-wrapped.  The original price sticker
is still on the box and it said around $25.
I'm going to the store tomorrow and will pick it up.
Please let me know immediately if you do not want it so I can return it.
You did not say where you are so I cannot find out the exact cost of
shipping.  If you are in the US, I can send it for $3 Priority Mail or
I can probably get away with $2.40 book rate if you are not too far
away ... The game is $4.95 plus $0.30 tax = $5.25.

assistant: Anyone out there have an old Pentium motherboard that supports both 30
pin and 72 pin SIMMS? I know they were made for a very short time when
486s were at their peak and the Pentiums were just coming onto the
market. If it has at least (4) 30pin slots and (2) 72 pin slots (four
would be better)and supports the P100 chip (i.e. at least a 33Mhz bus
with clock 3x) and is baby AT form factor, then drop me a line here or
at lapurta@home.msen.com if you have internet access. A couple of things
that would be nice but non-essential would be the docs, VLB, built in
I/O, or 256k of cache. I'd be willing to pay up to $60 for a board in
prime condition with all the goodies and negotiate down from there.

Hi Folks!...
Have a Seagate 1.275 Gb EIDE hard drive for sale. Less than 3 months old. No
errors reported anytime I have run scandisk. Dismissed from service as too
small for my needs. Looking for a good home.
Based on local advertised prices asking CDN$110.00 or best offer.
Shipping is extra if you're not local to me.
Sorry, but I consider a private sale final unless I'm standing there watching
you intall it in your machine. The only thing that I will warrant is that it
was working fine when I gently and carefully slipped it out of the machine
and directly into an anti-static bag.
Call me at +1 (613) 829-0609 or use netmail or email.
