Don't you hate going to garage sales with your wife?  She's looking at
kids' clothes, old dishes, and Tupperware(TM) lids, and you're trying
to pretend that this rusty electric shaver is interesting because it
has a _plug_, so it's kinda _electronic_ in a way, right?

Well.

We're having a garage sale THIS SATURDAY -- that's July 27 -- and you
can _both_ enjoy this one.  I bet even Dilbert would love it, except I
happen to know he's giving another tech-support seminar in Elbonia and
won't be able to make it.


I'm finally getting rid of all (well, OK -- I'm keeping _some_ :-) of
this electronical stuffage that's clogging my basement.  Here are some
examples:

Tube O' Chips:  $1 to $5 a tube.  DRAMs, logic ICs, microcontrollers,
                UARTS, etc.  Pick a tube.  Want some empty tubes?  Well,
                I've got those, too.

LCD displays:  Maybe a dozen or so graphic LCDs in various resolutions
               up to 640 X 200.  A couple of LCD controller boards.
               Probably 30 or 50 (who counts?) 16X1 text-only displays.

Some PC parts; mostly XT class stuff.  Some old hard drives.  A couple
of newer ones.  A Hayes Smartmodem 300, for you history buffs.  A
couple of voice/FAX/data modems.

I threw all my random cable chunks in a box and marked it five bucks.

Anybody remember the "WildCard 88"?  It's an XT on a credit card; the
system bus is a bunch of SIMM sockets.  I'm unloading an eval kit;
8088 processor card, CGA, SCSI, all the ports, etc.  Also a Teknor
286-PC-on-a-card.  Everything except video on a half-length ISA card.
Even includes solid-state disks.  (These are _not_ desktop PCs; they're
more for robotics or stuffing in your dashboard.)

Some weird 900MHz RF stuff.  A few PCBs full of parts.  Power
supplies.  Software.  A few handyman printers.

And, of course, a garage sale staple:  Cordless phones with dead
handset batteries.


And, please _do_ bring the spousal unit along!  We've also got the
regular array of "normal" garage sale stuff:  A ping-pong table, 
bicycles, kids' clothes, old dishes, Tupperware(TM) lids, and so on.


Oh, yeah -- the address:

102 East Adams in Villa Park, IL
Hours are 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. or until we run out of stuff.

(I restricted distribution of this post to "chi", but most news
servers seem to ignore the "Distribution" line so my apologies to
those of you in Finland and Australia who can't get airline tickets on
such short notice.)
