Until you're prepared to show me that my observations made over the past few
weeks are incorrect, i.e. that no diskette damage occurs, (this happens with
APPLE][+ drives AND with the APPLE-][e)

What I wrote was that I'm tossing the things once I get the FOCAL source and
DOCUMENTATION into a form that can be distributed conveniently. Just to P*SS
you off, I may put 'em on eBay, though. There aren't any parts worth salvaging,
though most are socketed.

Yes, Sellam, but you've clearly had your head wedged where the sun doesn't shine
for much of that time and haven't a clue what you've really observed, if
anything, else you'd know better than making an inane statement like that. I
don't doubt you're experienced "highly" as we're all acquainted with your
attitude about recreational chemicals. It doesn't, you may be assured,
contribute to the credibility of your claims.
