Subject: Fwd: Data General Eclipse in East Aurora, NY being scrapped
Hey Sellam!
Sorry I can't talk much at the moment, but I would like to ask you to pass
this on to the ClassicCmp list. I cannot take the gear but it should
_definitely_ be rescued. Wish I had the space (and time too! This is short
notice for me.). Guess the fella found my email address through the Rescue
List or maybe a web search, or ?
East Aurora is a suburb of Buffalo, it's about five to ten miles southeast
of the city and about ten or so miles "inland" from Interstate 90.
Best regards to everyone. I promise to write to you, Sellam, later in the
Fall to see what's been happenin' lately.

NNNN
