Jerome Fine replies:
Since my only contact with Shannon Hoskins in the
past has been as a COMMERCIAL reseller, I feel
that I should make this information known.
In general, I am not against having hardware given FREE
to a COMMERCIAL reseller providing no one else
wants the stuff. However, I feel that at the very least
hobby users SHOULD be given first crack at any such
stuff PLUS any COMMERCIAL reseller SHOULD make
it plain what they are, especially on a list of this type.
If Shannon Hoskins is no longer a COMMERCIAL reseller,
then I apologize for the mistake. Otherwise, at least she
might offer a reasonable sum for the hardware if there is
any worth - which in this case there would seem to be!
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
