The Industrial Technology Institute is getting rid of all their old Ann Arbor Ambassador terminals. These are the original tall black-case jobs with user-settable screen height and width (or rather, user-settable number of rows and columns). It's a portrait-size screen; we usually use them in 48 row by 80 column mode. A mounting bracket is included for "ergometric" used. Green screen. They're old, they're clunky, they've got an ugly case, but they work and they're incredibly cheap -- $20.00. Manuals are available (free), but there are probably not as many manuals as terminals. One manual per terminal bought. Heck, we'll even throw in a termcap entry that works pretty good (better than the default, we think). We have 30 or 40 of these suckers. You may test each terminal before taking it home, but you may *not* test them all and pick the one you think looks best. Buy two, they're cheap. Sale details: You must pick the terminal up at ITI -- we will not ship. Bring cash, certified check or money order made out to Industrial Technology Institute -- no personal checks. All sales final. No cables included (except keyboard cables). No packing available -- bring a box and/or whatever you think is appropriate. You must arrange your pickup in advance! Call or email to any of: Ron Dalton red@iti.org 313-769-4091 Bob Tait rt@iti.org 313-769-4149 Steve Simmons scs@iti.org 313-769-4086 Any unsold terminals will be turned in to the University of Michigan Property Disposition, where they will ask (ta-da) $20.00 for them. However, we have better hours than Property Distribution and PD will not let you test them adequately. Location: Industrial Technology Institute 2901 Hubbard Road Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Directions: ITI is at the corner of Hubbard and Huron Parkway in Ann Arbor. From the Plymouth Road exit of US-23 you go west two lights to Huron, then turn south. The first light is Hubbard. Turn left onto Hubbard. The first entrance on your left is the driveway. Plymouth Road exit is north of the 23/I-94 intersection, and south of the 23/M-14 intersection. If you come by I-94, go north on 23. If you come by M-14, go south on 23. -- "If life were fair, the acquisition of a large bosom or a massive inheritance would have no bearing on your ability to attract the opposite sex, and Dan Quayle would be making a living asking runny-nosed children, `Do you want fries with that?'" -- John Cleese, "Corporate Computing" magazine
