Hello to all fellow classic computer enthusiasts!

I just heard about this mailing list last week. I'm glad to have found
such an active discussion group. My primary interest is the Apple ][ & ///
series. (I am a member of the venerable Washington Apple Pi.) I would be
happy to swap private email with like-minded folks on this mailing list. I
am always in search of Apple hardware for my collection, please send email
if you have such to unload. Suggestions of individuals and companies who
deal in old Apple hardware are also always welcome. I enjoy the old
machines, but have been driven nearly mad trying to find hardware that
people are actually willing to sell.

ATTENTION TRS COLLECTORS: last year I inherited an enormous quantity of
software and hardware from an old TRS business network. The console,
terminals, cards, and printer are gone. All that remains is available for
the cost of shipping, to good homes. I have five large boxes of 8 inch
disks, with multiple copies of Xenix, with manuals. Many other boxes of
system manuals and other sundries are also available. I also have an
external hard drive, "Tandy Thirtyfive Meg Disk System."

While I do not collect Tandy, I just can't bear the thought of all this
stuff going to a landfill. I know how I feel when I am occasionally
subjected to someone's story of how a friend of theirs had a "bunch of old
Apple stuff, but finally just threw it all away last year."

Anyone within driving distance of south-central Pennsylvania is welcome to
come and look at everything. It's all free. If you want it, just arrange
to come and pick it up.

Regards & Happy 4th,

Arthur Clark
