dr-That would be Radio Control boats. Also good for holding light
dr-doors open, throwing at your neighbor when he's drunk, and
dr-disassembling for stepper motors and opto-electronics for robots.
dr-Not good for booting XT's, that's what steel toe boots are for.

I agree that it is "unusual" to be _selling_ something which is
usually free, but you must realize that there are many people who
still use XT's.
I do a lot of computing and most of my really useful programs
will fit on a couple of 360's. You don't need more space to do
e-mail, usenet, word processing, and data communication over
telephone lines. To me, it would be a _real_ joke if someone
was using a pentium with a "gigadrive" to do these things!
XT's with their 360's are well suited to these tasks.
I guess we all laugh at different things. <g>
Cheers,
Ole Juul
