I NEED someone to buy me two Micron PowerStation Plus computers, each with 100 MHZ Pentium microprocessor, 64 MB RAM, two 4 GB SCSI hard drives, one 4 GB SCSI tape drive, one 4X SCSI CD-ROM drive, one Matrox Impression Plus SVGA card with 4 MB VRAM, one Sound Blaster 16 card, one 14,400 baud fax/modem card, and one network card, Autodesk AutoSurf, Autodesk Designer, and Autodesk Animator Pro programs VERY badly. I am dying of a very rare disease and the only cure is to buy me new computers and programs. Jeffrey.

Would a Commodore 128 do you any good untill the necessary treatment becomes available?

I've got a Tandy 1110 HD that I'm using to do messages at night. Perhaps a little bitty portable 8080 2400bps will keep the bed bugs out until real help arrives.

I suppose I could lend out my trusty Sinclair ZX-81. It's got the 16 KB RAM expansion, so it's pretty hot! Jim

I've got a Osborne 1, Z80 with a womping 64k Ram, 6 of which is used for the video display. Got two 320k drives and an itty bitty monitor all built into a slightly larger than briefcase sized carrier. Comes with a full compliment of CP/M software. Handles all but those super power apps now available in DOS. <g> If you find someone who'se willing to trade you're all set. 🙂 (P.S. yeah, I know, we're all a bunch of comedians but its all in good fun so please don't take offense!)

There is an ancient mainframe in a basement in Tucson. It runs on Cobal, prints out reams of code and we used it back in the 60s to plot how a Teradactyl might be able to fly. Nightly reading and corrections of the printouts was very soothing, which might help what ails you. Jeffrey Also
