Hey Joseph- I'm not sure my mail was transmitting today. Just send me  
what you think would be an acceptable price, and if I can meet it, you  
have a sale. I cannot believe how much I like this little machine.  
(*sigh*)

I've been working on him, and got it up to the point where it will say  
"Canont find ENTRY_INIT" - unfortunately, that is also true of the  
tape drive.

I feel like someone took away my Christmas. :)

Yours,
-Paul
