Arthur,

I'm heading out the door now. I think I need to clarify my last email.
I will take all the Tandy things you have available.

Thanks,

Bill Dawson

Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

-> 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,
->
