  Mike,

   You left out the boxed RS cassette drive.

  Where were you Sunday? I never saw you. You must have missing the HTI
68030 emulator/development setup and the two Dec 3000s. The same guy has
FIVE SGIs that he wants to get rid of. I'M working on that!

   The guy that I told you about that has the paper tape reader and punch
was there. I would have introduced you if I had seen you.

   You also forgot to stop and get that PDP out of my truck.

   I got a big set of National Semiconductor data books today. Including
the ones for the 2900 bit slice CPUs. Also found ANOTHER HP 3468 HP-IL
digital multimeter and a very strange Faber Castell slide rule.
