Being unable ( medically ) to work for others is not fun or
anything positive.  However I am trying to keep active and to
teach myself as much electronics as possible.  I enjoying
tinkering and building and designing things even if not practical
or if not working then I learned.
I also do not have a car to use every time I wish to leave these
confines of this room of mine.  If I had a job then I would love
to earn a car.  I haven't heard of anyone yet wanting to get rid
of a car that runs.  But I pray. But being practical and
realistic I can wish. If anyone wishes to get rid of a car PLEASE!
I would love to have a job putting together things but have no
clue to arrange that.
I would do anything to be back on the air as a DJ or an on camera
Mc.  I really miss that.  Even as a off air Tech.  At least in a
field that I dearly love.
If you can help please     E-Mail me at DOCP@CALIFORNIA.COM

Write your reply.

assistant: Howdy All!
I have a BRAND NEW full page greyscale scanner for sale for $85.  It is
still packed in the original box and comes with everything needed including
the cable.  This item is heavy and shipping would be around $10-$15.
Also I have a BRAND NEW Best Data 33,600 Voice Data Fax External Modem with
Speakerphone included that IS upgradeable to the new 56k x2 technology.  It
is PNP but can be operated under Win 3.1 and DOS.  It's an External so no
need to have an empty slot.  Comes with software on CD and diskette, a
microphone is included for the speakerphone.  All you'll need is a Serial
cable and a set of speakers.  Will sell this for $130.  Again it is heavy
and shipping will be around $10-$15.
If you are even interested in either of these items make a counter offer.
I have dropped the price to rock bottom already but maybe we could work out
a trade.  I am looking for an External US Robotics Courier 28,800 for a
friend of mine and would consider a trade for a NEC 7-disk changer.  I'm
also looking for a CHEAP system with at least a 486 dx2 66 mhz motherboard,
4meg, 500meg+ hard drive, 3 1/2" drive, video card, and 28,800 internal
modem.  With a color monitor and keyboard.  Mouse not really needed.  I
would be willing to trade the above towards system and pay difference.
