I don't have any $ right 12 now to buy, but I am looking for what I might expect to pay for soe 13 of the following: 14 Used, with manuals: MSDOS 5, AutoCAD 10, GenericCADD latest (I 15 think the last release is 6 or somesuch) 16 Why MSDOS 5? With the (among others) dblspace problem, I don't 17 trust the product (DOS 6, that is). DOS 5 works for me. 18 Why AutoCAD 10? Priced 12 lately? You get an expen$$ive system 19 and the price of the program is actually comparable! Maybe someone 20 has 10 laying around and taking up space, and would let it go for a 21 song. Here's hoping. 22 Why Generic? It always was a good low cost engine. Not too log 23 ago, Generic was acquired by Autodesk, makers of...you know 24 what. As a CAD program, it's still at a fairly low cost, and with 25 Autodesk supporting it, I understand it's gotten even better. 26 27 I'm trying to put together a home drafting business on my 386. I 28 have the system, I'm getting together the hardware, and I need good 29 able and legitimate software to go with. If there's no good deals to 30 be had, I'd at least like to know what prices are staring me in the 31 face. 32 (Sally Struthers mask goes on) "Please help!" 33 =====================Still Justin after all these years============== 003=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 09/27/93 23:47 Msg:7935 Call:45389 Lines:2 34@this was a test by me to see if anything enters. 35@and this was a reply, yep finally an entry ? 004=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 10/03/93 05:57 Msg:7942 Call:45441 Lines:7 36 this will be the 2nd test at entering line 34 the first 34 was DE>l 37@ 38@? 39@ 40@ 41@/s 42 this will be a response to 36 above? where all went ok except forget ^C 005=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 10/05/93 11:55 Msg:7948 Call:45461 Lines:8 43 ok I GUESS if I delete a line that line numbers gone so no more de. 44 ************************************************************ 45 ok well a few lines here about line 820 ->840 of drive A 46 So someone who watches City Hall must have Cable TV... 47 I once upon a time listened on KBOO but think they dropped it. 48 And as for Legacy I can watch there parking lot out the 49 window and so see they have a nicer class of cars than I, but 50@ 50 ok ok my stated policy... read (pr) Mall befor DA 006=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 10/07/93 12:41 Msg:7957 Call:45488 Lines:7 51 12-2 ha ha hat 52 12-4 K-T-B 53 12-6 K-quake 54 54 55 55 56 56 57 57 007=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 10/13/93 09:32 Msg:7968 Call:45569 Lines:1 58@ 58 008=Usr:97 Manley Hubbell 10/15/93 23:13 Msg:7974 Call:45592 Lines:14 59@0 60 . 61 so a 5.4 K-Falls quake 62 . 63 well it brings up the quake prep 64 . 65 I'll vote - enoughs enough 66 . 67 just take the loss when its due. 68 . 69 That alias has been used up till recently by a fairly annoying, and rumour 70 has it, none to hounest individual.

I rewrote the link handlers to deal with 259 mislinked data so that It souldn't happen again. This should fix 260 the problem with drive A and B not accepting data after line 992 261 (it is supposed to be 999). and the problem with the other rooms 262 (like mail) which weren't accepting data even though there was lots 263 of room. Now if we could just deal with the problem user, things 264 could get back to normal around here. 265 ************************** CM ************************************* 098=Usr:316 scott wirth 03/29/94 06:55 Msg:8116 Call:46644 Lines:10 266 ........................................................................ 267 Well, I'm not sure whether this area is for computer stuff only or not, 268 but here goes: I have a 82 year old upright grand piano for sale. It is in 269 fair condition, needs a few ivories for the keys, restrung, and tuned. One key 270 need to be repaired, as the hammer is broken. Other than that, it is in pretty 271 good condition. If you are interested, please leave me mail here ( I will 272 check a couple of times a day).
