Having just gotten one of the DOS machines that can support a hard drive
up and going, I should finally be able to get a letter together and mail
it out to let people know about the new phone number for this system.  

In the meantime, if you know somebody who's using PDaXs or techbook and
you think there's a chance that they don't know the new data number
(220-0636) or voice number (223-4245) PLEASE tell them.

(I had all the data backed up on another machine.  No worries, right?
Well, the backup machine blew a power supply and finding a replacement
has not been easy (as in no luck so far).  Buy Compaq, spend a zillion
on replacement parts ...  So, then the power supply blows on the other
machine.  OK, we'll just throw a new power supply in.  But as long as
we're doing that, let's upgrade the disk system ...  You can probably
write the rest of this as well as I can.  Somebody sometime must have
formulated the fundamental law of computers: change one (1) variable 
at a time.  Anybody know whose law this is?

Then there's the fun with the XT that was stored in the garage.  Bring
it in, clean it up a little, fire it up.  Works great.  OK, clean it up
some more, throw some hardware in it, fire it up.  Doesn't work.  Sigh.
Pull out hardware, fire it up.  Doesn't work.  Sigh.  Haul out claw
hammer and wave threateningly at system.  Doesn't work.  Hit self on
head with claw hammer several times.  System still doesn't work, but 
somehow it doesn't matter so much now ...)
