The screen on my UNIX(r) PC is starting to get squeezed on the extreme right side. Anybody seen this symptom before? What components are about to go west and can I head it off at the pass? Thanks in advance. -- ========================================================================= Bob Schreibmaier K2PH | UUCP: att!oblivion!k2ph or k2ph@oblivion.att.com AT&T Bell Laboratories | ARPA: k2ph%oblivion@att.arpa Lincroft, N.J. 07738 | ICBM: 40o21'N, 74o8'W

Maybe Thad can tell us if they're still in business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Thad's address is now "thad@public.btr.com". >From: thad@cup.portal.com (Thad P Floryan) Newsgroups: unix-pc.general,comp.sys.att Subject: New repair co. for 6300,6300+,7300,3B1,UNIXPC (Commercial Msg) Message-ID: <27397@cup.portal.com> Date: 28 Feb 90 10:43:47 GMT Organization: The Portal System (TM) WARNING: Commercial message. If you think this is an inapproprate posting (I don't) then flame me privately via email. If you can suggest ANY other way to publicize this necessary info, I'd like to hear about it as there are MANY people owning/using AT&T computers who need this info. By the time you read this, the AT&T San Leandro (California) repair site will have closed its doors (Wednesday, 28-Feb-1990). As many of you know, that site was the world-wide repair center for AT&T's 6300, 6300+, 7300, 3B1 and UNIXPC computers. The business of that repair center has been assumed by a new venture named ``A Small Computer Repair Company'' (ASCRC) and the repair work will be continued by the guy who was doing it at AT&T, Ben Wollberg. Several others (myself included) will help with startup financing and locating parts and supplies and doing other errands since we don't want people left in the lurch. The previous pricing structure will be maintained and all types of repairs AND upgrades will be available. Among the types of services provided by ASCRC are monitor repairs, HD repairs and/or exchanges, etc. Most (if not all) the existing parts inventory has been acquired by ASCRC, and services for everything up to and including complete motherboard replacements for any of the above listed systems are available. Everyone involved with ASCRC has full-time "day" jobs; ASCRC's activities are evening- and weekend-based. ASCRC's charter is to help people maintain and upgrade their systems properly; in one sense, this is a larger continuation of what we do for others in the user group meetings (as those who've seen my hardware demos will attest). ASCRC's goal is to also turn a "modest" profit to compensate for parts, time and expertise, hence my prefixing this posting with the comment "Commercial message." For more information and/or to arrange servicing, contact: A Small Computer Repair Company 5762 Dichondra Place Newark, CA 94560 or call either: (415) 430-9226, or (415) 793-6980 If you need further assistance, contact me via email.

Getting this far with no instructions is success. Good luck to ASCRC referred to in the article. But, for an alternative in case it is needed, AT&T still operates a computer repair center covering all of the computers mentioned (6300, 6300+, 7300/3b1) at: AT&T Computer Repair Center 12802 NE 125th Way Kirkland, WA 98034 206/821-0641 Before the "unbundling", it was a Teletype Corp Repr Cntr.
