Sigh. I fear the time has come to part with another old friend. I moved out of my tiny little basement hobbit hole of the past many years, sold my 1969 BMW 2002 after 200,000 miles and now my trusty old Rainbow 100 (version 1.01.11a, it says upon bootup) sits forlorn and unused since my wife brought home her shiny new Mac II... It's the basic original, purchased in early 83, performed flawlessly since then albeit only as a remote terminal and platform for some assembler hacking. Hard to imagine in this day and age but it's got: 64k RAM, no hard disk, no graphics card, just the basic CPU, monitor, keyboard and cables. Now, as you all know, it's a fine machine from a stupid corporation. I would give it away to some needy nonprofit 'cept for the nonstandard architecture. I'm not interested in haggling and really don't have a clue about the true value of this bundle but maybe you folks could clue me in. Anybody out there willing to give this fine old nag a good home? What would be a fair and honest price? sincerely, robin

i sent this out before but it seems not to have reached many sites (and the news system sent me a weird message about system overflow) so i'll try again. Anyway, the time has come to part with my trusty ol' Rainbow (now lonely and unused next to the MacII) which has been my steadfast home terminal since early 83 and never had any problems. Believe It Or Not, it's got: 64k RAM! No hard disk! No graphics card! No Software (cept kermit)! just cpu, monitor, keyboard and cables. Anybody willing to provide a good home? How much am i offered for my Rosinante? thanx, robin

This is in response to John D. Proctor's posting about Rainbow he had for sale. My mail to him kept bouncing so I need to post mail here. John: I know someone who might be interested in your Rainbow stuff. Here's his name and computer address: Tom Murphy Murphy@vaxr.UWO.CA His telephone number is 519-679-2756 (London, Ontario). He was going to try to contact you, but he wasn't sure if his mailer was working properly. -- Bill Martin --
