Back to you...

 > Thanks for the copies of the faxes.

No problem!  THANK YOU SIR!!!  I've been receiving post cards and letters as
well for the past few weeks.  Gee!  I guess radio works, huh?

 > Did you also hear from a guy in Arizona?  I did a Sunday show there.

Do you mean D. Ryder Houston in Scottsdale?  If yes, then yes.  I sent him a
catalog.

 > Did you get my note about posting an article on laptops being too
 > expensive here?  Then I could give out this # and have listeners
 > download it.

Yes but you must remember we're dealing with a dynamic over time not isolated
cases, i.e. laptops through history is far different than a time-slice about
laptops.

Folks coming into the marketplace today DO NOT bring the understanding of the
past ... even the recent past.  This is a really, really, really big deal.  We
are fortunate to have lived the laptop golden age.  Trying to explane the
differences is like trying to explane a Ford Model T to an 18 year old who only
knows the Maszda RX series.  The knowledge gap is hugh.  Another example would
be trying to explane the basics of music theory to folks needing to play a
concert the weekend or be fired!  It's amazing but completely human.

Yeah, they are pretty cool.  As you know, you got (I think) the last of the
fully-capable Booster Pacs.  I have a bunch of Just-RAM BP's for Model 102s
available.  I am thinking about letting these go for $25 each.  Again, these
are for Model 102, only.  For a Model 100 I would have to adapt the case and
build a cable.

If you're going to help push Model "T's" for the club I suggest focusing on the
Model 100 only.  Not the Model 102 or 200.

Thanks again.  I really appreciate the help.

Your friend ... -Rick-
