REVISED.

This is a serious bid.  I represent a Washington DC computer camp that
seeks to get 30 computers in the next few days.  We are working on a
very limited budget.  We will buy competitive offers of 4+ computers.
Large sales of equipment under 2 years old highly preferred.  We are
undecided at this point whether we can afford to buy new.

				PC LIST
18 486sx 25/33MHz 4mb/200mb non-tower
	3.5inch floppy drives [6 CPU's must ALSO have 5.25 inch drives]
	color sVGA 14inch [fine dot pitch not required]
	DOS 6.2
6 486sx 25/33MHz 8mb/200mb non-tower
	3.5inch floppy drives [2 CPU's must ALSO hlave 5.25 inch drives]
	color sVGA 14inch [fine dot pitch not required]
	DOS 6.2, Windows 3.1, Mouse [leading brand]
1 dot-matrix printer [leaning: Panasonic KXP-1123]
1 Microsoft VisualBASIC [most recent version of non-programmer version]
1 Q&A Plus [diagnostics software]

				MAC LIST
4 Mac Quadra 605's 4mb/160mb
	3 of which have 14inch color screen
	1 of which has 19inch black&white screen
1 4ppm Mac laserprinter [leaning: Laserwriter LS 320]
1 dot-matrix for mac [faster, less incremental costs than StyleWriter II]

We would like to hook 6 Macs to our [current] Imagewriter II printer using:
7 PhoneNet [AppleShare compatible] connectors 
	4 25ft modular phone cables
	3 10ft modular phone cables

(All necessary cables)

Please pass this to a friend or business acquaintance who might/can make
a full quote on a significant portion of such equipment.  Quality-used
or bargain-basement new equipment.  We intend to take advantage of a
volume discount -- paying approx $1000 per CPU -- preferably much less
-- gaging the responses we get from multiple DC area sources by late
Wednesday (15th).  We expect to settle (possibly with several parties)
very soon after this time.  This is a last-minute inquiry and we would
need most if not all of the systems by this weekend ABSOLUTELY (Sunday
June 19th).  We can pick up.  Delays of a few days are only possible for
a minority of the systems.  The amount of such delays would have to be
agreed upon in writing.

Messages can be left on the home answering machine listed below --
however email will allow a much more precise description of any offers.
I will not be able to respond to fax quotes quite as fast as email (it
may take a day).  Once again, we will buy all competitive offers of 4+
computers -- pronto.  Just send a descriptive quote.

I understand the non-commercial character of the internet.  However, as
a financially frail childrens' camp, we have to find computers for a
good price.  We prefer not to publicize our name but will do so to
serious sellers.

Thank you,

Adam Holt
