I am looking for information about a guy named Manuel Casao.  He lives in
Stockton, California, and was recently doing business as Classic Computing,
1176 Rosemarie Lane, #96.  He ran a BBS under that name also.
I recently sent him $40 for software, listed in the AmigaSale echo, and have
gotten nothing.  The check has cleared, and now his BBS is out of the
nodelist, and the phone number is disconnected.
Does anyone know anything about him?
Thanks,
John Snow

All they have to is request it from the BBS that they are axcessing Fido

For some reason when I poll my Boss node and then have Pointmanager import
the mail the two echos are seperate but if I delete one message base then it
deletes the files in the other base but leaves some of the other messages
alone so as I'm not reading double messages. The other thing is if I happen
to read Jon's echo first and delete his echo then the other forsale echo is
gone also.....

assistant: Greets,
I'm looking for a magnetic card reader/writer for the Amiga.
(& any relevant software). I understand Datel _used_ to make
a _reader_ but not anymore. I'm not sure if an IBM/Mac version can be
hooked up or not (Let me know if I'm wrong).
Thanks.
