The MicroShop at UT ( a member of the selected few ) has external drives
you can walk out of the door with.

The CompuShop chain is having a chain-wide sale of Maceverything

at 33% off list; MAC ($1995), printer ($392), external
drive ($328), carrying bag ($66), floppies ($33), Basic ($100), 
Multiplan ($128), as well as lots of Apple II stuff.

Locally, sale was "while quantities last", and sold out on the first day,
but I got on a waiting list on day 2, and received my drive and some
floppies 3 days later( but I was close to the head of the queue).
I just checked and they do not do business on a "remote" basis, and
the only item IN, right now, is 1 copy of MacMultiplan.

While I do recommend buying hardware locally, just in case of troubles,
(I think my second mouse is crapping out already), I may be able to help
A FEW of you to take advantage of the offers, other than printer and MAC
which I do not think should be subjected to a lot of unsupervised traveling.
My past experience with VECTREX-PEOPLE in helping each other out, has
been extremely positive (both ways), but I can not handle more than a few
requests, and that at a low priority.  Should I get swamped with requests,
I'll have to withdraw this offer REAL FAST, of course,

P.S.:	Anyone else ready to flame about MAC-OS and other software not
	being geared to take FULL advantage of the second drive ???
