I thank everyone responding to my query on memory upgrades for my friend's
286 machine. (For the moment I can't locate him so I can give him the info).
Due to some fluke in the system, my posting was blown all over the known
universe, including Alaska and France. I also received about 40 reports
from various postmasters and forwarding nodes, telling me that my message
was undeliverable because (a) there is no such userid (b) the node doesn't
exist and (c) I don't exist. Is anything wrong with posting to
heath-people@mc.lcs.mit.edu ?
A chap from France responded and we started exchanging messages. He wants
to know why this group is called heath-people rather than zenith-people.
Any ideas?
Peter

Heath Kit Company used to market computer kits, the Zenith purchased Heath and marketed assemmbled Heath computers under the Zenith label. Bull of France purchased Zenith computer factories which included Heath Kit Co. The asseembled computers are marketed as Zenith and the kits are Heath Kit Co. So, the name Heath never died out with the kit assemblers, thus the Heath name is still used...... -- internet: rocco@nstar.rn.com -or- rocco%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!rocco -or- ..!uunet!nstar!rocco NSTAR Public Access 219-289-0287 - 1190 newsgroups - 1500 megabytes - 7 lines
