  Hello Collecting friends.

  I am currently on 'inactive' status as far as classic computer
collecting goes, so my participation on the List has been mostly in R/O
mode.

  My old (+7 years!) ISP has seen fit to discontinue all it's Unix Shell
accounts effective Sept 30 of this year. I have therefore signed up with
another old-line ISP, panix.com in New York.

  Should any of you on the list be considering changing your ISP for any
reason, especially if you are primarily a telnet user.. I can highly
recomend them. Their customer service has been a) excellent and
b) proactive; a state of affairs unheard-of in my years on the Net.


  Since I am now living and working in Southern India, I have bestowed my
collection en masse to a couple of Listmembers and will not be actively
pursuing the hobby for a year or two. Getting a full-blown 11/44 system
thru checked baggage is one thing, but dealing with Indian customs.....

                ;)


  I would like to take this small opportunity to publicly thank each and
everyone of you one the List who help to preserve these old beasts, and
also I would like to thank Allison, Megan, Tim, Sellam, Bruce, Marvin,
Tony Duell, Eric, Don Maslin, Hans Franke, Eliot Moore, and all the rest
who took time and effort to help me unravel DEC as it was meant to be.

  I have unsubbed the netcom account and subscribed at the panix addrr,
and I'll continue to monitor the list, although it is doubtful I'll be
posting much. I have found one cache of more-than-ten-year-old stuff,
mostly Commie and Atari. I'll post more when I have a chance to check it
out. Don't get too excited. Buyer pays shipping...


  Cheers

John
