FW: mp3 on IPX (was [SunRescue] BSD Questions)

Tue Oct 17 11:55:10 CDT 2000

Mike,
    Out of curiousity, do you have any online lists of what you offer/have
for sale? I am always suprised by the things you have...

    I am about to bid on some SS5 RAM (32 Meg, $57/each + S/H) - can you
beat that price?
Thanks,

Ken
(Who simply doesn't have a need for an SBUS PCMCIA adapter...)
