Hey Mike --

Thanks for stopping by the shop. It was really good chatting with you
again (even if Joe and I tend to get involved in our usual gripe sessions
;>)

Yes, we junkies always encourage the return of "lost sheep" by giving them

Nice work! Is there usually *this* much good stuff at hamfests? Not that
I've been to one lately (being a slave to the shop) but ones I've attended
in the past had little in the way of computer-related goodies.

Okay, was that a Timex Sinclair TS1000 or a Sinclair ZX81? What was the
condition and what else was included (manuals, box, ps)? And what was the
asking price?

Anyway, I'm glad you had fun in O-Town. Next time you're heading this way
drop me a line.
