 10 ==========================Justin the Blue============================
 11  Right now, I'm looking for used software.  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!"

146 On the next disk change there will be a new room added to the system.
147 It will be called the "Blue" room. The room is restricted access.
148 You must state that you are 21 or older to gain access to the room.
149 The room is intended for 'blue' subject matter, thus the reason for 
150 the limited access. If you wish to have access to the room, send

256 Well, after a lot of work, I think the system is stable again.
257 The link files were screwed up from the last crash a few months
258 back during the storm. 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.

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
