I have what was once(!) a supercharged computer.  It is an 8088 with
1024k of memory, a colour VGA monitor (maybe SVGA if you have such a
card, I'm not sure...) a 35MB HD, 2 floppy disk drives (360, and 720K)
a keyboard, a 2400 modem and a 9 pin Dot matrix printer- the Raven
PR-9101.  There are various useful programs on the computer such as
procomm plus for dialing up the library's catalog or other BBS's,
Norton Commander/PC tools for disk maintenance/ Word Perfect 5.1 for
word processing... I am selling everything for $200 (canadian) or $160
(US) + shipping.

I have been offered $100 (canadian) for the monitor only but I want to
sell all of the system together.  I know that this type of computer is
completely outdated but, judging from past replies to various post I
placed regarding the value of such a system, I think that it could
still be useful to someone looking for a basic system for word
processing, databases, record keeping etc or just as a hobby machine.
I would prefer to sell to someone in CANADA.  However, I will honor
the highest offer outside of Canada if you are willing to pay shipping
and if I receive the money/check before sending the system.  I will,
of course, leave you my address and home phone number so that we can
get in touch beforehand.  

e-mail me if interested,
Fabrice Grover (KARATE@DIRECT.CA)
