40 I have 5 SA400 drives left and they are indeed going for $10 each.
41 I also have some MPI drives in various states of disrepair.
42 Some one with the knowledge and skills in disk drive repair
43 could probably get a couple of them going from the parts. I'm offering
44 the MPI drives for $10 for the box of them (includes 4 MPI drives and
45 2 SA400 drives) As I said, these are *not* working, (the SA400's are
46 only good for parts what there is left of them.) There are three 
47 logic cards with the MPI drives, one old style, two new style.

61  So there i was standing in a drove of dwarves during rush hour in
62 downtown L.A. trying to flag a cab. Without success I headed up vine
63 fighting tooth and nail knee deep in the short folk, there was rummored
64 a pre dedwarven man lived there that might be able to make some sense
65 of this fable but was told i had a snowballs chance in hell. The only
66 color that i can use to discribe Dimlite's house is a Gray Poupon, 
67 fashonable for the era. He was a very tall man about 5'6" and the only
68 hair i saw on him was on the very tip of his snout. It looked as though
69 in actuality his personnel hygine had been dicarded let alone abandoned.
70 he claimed to have been a sandwhich maker[journeymen] for years and
71 we discussed the posibilites of Dimlite moving a few more feet away
72 from me so i would'nt be so offended by his odor, he agreed.
73  Dimlite offered a sandwhich to me, I declined, but was served anayway
74 promptly throwing small pices of mystery meat under the table to the
75 canine which he posessed. The canine's name was Cringe a name given
76 because of the facial expressions shown while eating Dimlite's cooking.

227 HOW CLEVER!
228 
229 Suddenly, the mysterious door began to glow!
230 
231 O\=<([V2V])>=/O
232 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
233 The first sensation I felt as I came to consciousness was the cold.  A wet,
234 clinging cold that totally surrounded me, penetrating to the bone and 
235 causing them to ache.
236 The second sensation I felt was... pressure.  My lungs seemed filled with
237 the air I had somehow gulped before landing into the river, but I knew that
238 it wouldn't last much longer.  I struggled to reach the surface of the
239 river, where ripples played about the rocks and water plants several feet
240 above me.
241 I felt myself being held down by some force, intangible but very real,
242 pressing me away from the life-giving air above.  I heard  a mental
243 voice-  #WHAT ARE YOU?#
244 I tried to answer.  #...I am Milchar, a human from Celene....please release
245 me, I need the air above...#
246 The Being responded instantly, but during that instant I felt myself get
247 weaker and the pain in my lungs increased.  #NOT RELEVANT.  WHAT ARE YOU?#
248 Concentration had grown exponentially harder.  #...a magician, a worker
249 of magic....#
250 The voice became slightly more powerful, cutting through the rising barrier
251 of pain my body built about my mind.  #NOT RELEVANT.  WHAT IS YOUR BEING?#
252 Fighting for every last bit of energy I could muster, I tried to answer-
253 #....uugh...release.....me........#
254 The next few moments were unlike anything I had ever experienced before or
255 since, and not something I can easily relate.  Yet I shall try.  My memories
256 forced themselves upon me, parading past rapidly, forcing the truth of my
257 past actions painfully into my mind, showing me THIS or THAT action which
258 was selfish, THIS action was wrong, THAT one was ill-considered... I reviewed
259 all of the minor evils I had committed during my life.  The pain in my lungs
260 dimmed compared to the pain this recollection stirred within me.
261 Yet not all of the actions I reviewed then were the bad ones- I saw also
262 the great joy I had somehow managed to produce in others from time to time,
263 the generous deeds accomplished... but somehow, the good actions  seemed
264 fewer than the bad.  Or else the bad stuck in my mind more firmly. It's
265 impossible to tell- but I hoped, just then, that the good outweighed the
266 evil I had done during my trek in this multiverse.
267 Abruptly, I felt myself rising quickly but gently.  I broke surface an
268 instant later, gasping for air and fighting exhaustion.  Exhaustion won.
269 I awoke upon the near riverbank, betwixt a bed of flowers and a large
270 patch of willows, upon a narrow, sandy area.  I laid there  for many minutes
271 before I felt well enough to consider what had happened to me.  I tried to
272 puzzle it out for a bit, then, after more minutes, tried to sit up.
273 I was dizzy, but nothing appeared broken.  My injuries seemed limited to
274 bruises, of which I had an abundance.
275 My posessions for the most part had survived the ordeal, also.  I saw
276 quicly that my wand was gone;  I would probably never see it again.
277 Having determined that I could get about if need be, I rose.  As I did, I
278 saw something that startled me so much I very nearly fell down again.
279 On my palm was inscribed a small silver pattern, almost like a tatto, which
280 faded even as I saw it.  Somehow I knew it remained, but knew not what it
281 signified.
282 I wasn't about to find out just standing there, though.
283 So I walked.  Rivers tend to be centers of civilization, at all levels:
284 when primitive, cities enjoy the easy water transport;  when advanced,
285 the people enjoy the natural beauty associated with water bodies.  So, in
286 hope of finding a suitable place to rest before attempting further magic,
287 I walked downstream.

313 ################################################################
314 I woke up with the sun in my eyes. It was probably what caused 
315 me to wake up. I felt sore in all of my joints. I had been laying 
316 there for far too long, things were starting to stiffen up. 
317 Soon my eyes adjusted and I looked around me. I was sitting under 
318 a tree in a meadow. How I got here I'm not too sure. As I looked 
319 further I saw the outlines of what appeared to be the glowing 
320 outlines of a door off to one side. Hmmm, interesting. I thought 
321 about getting up, but my soreness and the warming sun inhibited  
322 me from making a quick decision. There was time enough for 
323 exploration I was sure. The presence in my mind was quiet, no 
324 word, no response.  I wasn't even sure if he was even there for 
325 sure (assuming that you could even assign a sexual quality as he 
326 or she to such a being). Finally with some degree of effort I got 
327 up and stretched the worst of the kinks out of my bones. My first 
328 order of business was to take a look at the glowing lines of the 
329 assumed doorway. As I approached it the lines began to glow even 
330 more. It was almost as if they were bulging outward attempting to 
331 engulf me. To carry me off to yet another time and place. Another 
332 world where I did not know where I was. But I liked the flavor of 
333 this particular meadow as it currently was, so I backed away a 
334 bit, avoiding the clutching sucking feeling the door emitted. Off 
335 to the side was a little stream chuckling to itself and enjoying 
336 the warmth of the sunlight. Knealing down on its bank I took my 
337 fill the wonderfully sweet water that traveled in its course.
338 This seamed like such a wonderfully peaceful land, so unlike the 
339 noisey rabble I had left behind. I didn't really want to leave. 
340 And yet deep within there was something missing, an empty space 
341 filled with a longing undescribable. The emptyness within me once 
342 its existance had been found swelled and expanded outside, 
343 filling the world, the once bright warm sun dimmed and gray 
344 clouds quickly filled the sky. Suddenly I felt cold and alone. 
345 The streaked gray clouds began to emit a cold wind swept drizzle 
346 that soon had me wet and shivering. The tree I had been sleeping 
347 under offered no protection, the leaves that had once offered 
348 cool shade against the warmth of the sun were now gone. The stark 
349 bare limbs reached menicingly towards the gray clouds as if to 
350 draw them closer and capture them in its grasp. A flash of 
351 lightening broke the gloom. I was alone in this world no friends 
352 to great, no one to talk to, no one to share the warm of a fire 
353 and ward off the chill of this place.  The colour was gone, only 
354 varying shades of gray were visible now. The stark cold 
355 lonelyness began to sink in until it became an overwhelming 
356 thought driving out all others. I began to shake uncontrolled. 
357 Was it the cold, or was it the emotional distress I felt. I had 
358 to do something, I had to find a way out. The door! Quickly I got 
359 up out of the crouching position I had taken beneath the tree and 
360 looked across the now gloom filled clearing. There, through the 
361 mist I could see something glowing. Beckoning me towards it, 
362 Gathering my remaining emotional and physical strength I headed 
363 towards it. I only hoped that it would lead me out of this barren 
364 land to someplace more inviting. As I appraoched the glowing 
365 edges reached out through the mist drawing me closer inviting me 
366 into its grasp with what almost seemed like a self-rightous 
367 smugness. I paused for a moment in fear at the feelings I felt 
368 coming from it, but the cold and emptyness of this place gave me 
369 enough reason to continue on. Releasing all further doubt, I 
370 accepted what this new and unexpected twist would bring and 
371 stepped through. The darkness enclosed me in its arms, wrapping 
372 me in a blanket of warmth. My clothes were no longer wet, and my 
373 shivering subsided. Where I was I did not know, I didn't know if 
374 I was even anywhere. I felt like I was in limbo, stuck between 
375 one reality and another. I was no longer cold, but the empty 
376 feeling of lonelyness was still there. The warm enclosing arms of 
377 whereever I was could not dispell that feeling deep in my gut. I 
378 thrashed out, I screamed. No one came, no one heard. Was it only 
379 a second that I lay thus or was it a century? It seemd like it 
380 was forever. I felt a feeling feeling of concern and frustration 
381 surround me. An unseen force wanting to help but not knowing how. 
382 I thought back to times past, to a friend gone and yet always 
383 there. Slowly the emptyness subsided, and as the feeling went so 
384 did my thrashings and emotional outpourings. The darkness around 
385 me felt pleased. Some sort of balance had been achieved. Finally 
386 I drifted off into a fitful sleep in the dark confines of 
387 whereever I was.

417 one in the back and side.  The room was
418 empty.  Nobody   was there.  No one
419 was board.  After all it WAS spring

421 ful.  No one liked it that way.  It
422 was easyer to think.  Nobody sat in the

444 nobody was a borne dancer.  No one 
445 jumped up and started dancing...on the
446 wall.  Cloging...tap...soft shoe.  
447 But suddenly on one was breaking!!
448 Swipes! Backspin! Cenipeide and into 
449 a helicopter... But that got boring 
450 fast.  Nobody truned off the music.
451      LET'S PARTY!! no one yelled.
452 Nobody came and NO ONE had a good time.
453 It was great!  There was on one off 
454 getting drunk in the corner.  Nobody 
455 vomiting or making obnoxious fools of
456 f themselves.  There couldn't have abeen
457 a better party!  Besides, who knows 
458 what goes on in an empty room?
459      Jodi sArms saw Mr. (Ken) Staly as
460 he walking down the hall wihistieling to
461 himself.  He took his keys out of his
462 pocket and opened the door.  The room
463 was silent.
464      "How was your vacation?" he said
465 to no one in perticular.  There was no
466 answer.
467      "Oh, mine was wonderful" he said
468 "It's always nice to get away from the
469 daily grind for a week or so."
470      Jodi poked her head into the room.
471      "Hello Jodi!" Mr. Staly boomed.
472 her usual plesant voice.  "Who where 
473 you talking to?"
474      "Oh, nobody," he said with a :>.

480   [L.A. nightmare continued from ln 53 ]  Wondering if I should report
481 Dimlite to the humane society, I stood up from the table letting go a
482 harty belch which pleased Dimlite to no end, also giving Cringe enough
483 time to hide the sudo sandwich under the already swolen rug. 
484   Dimlite was certenly not the person i needed to contact let alone dine
485 with. Dimlite suggested i contact his first cousin removed Fester Puz-
486 bucket the soul founder of Doink Cola located in east Hollywood.
487   Actually Cornel Fester Puzbucket was in need of a new strong adverti- 
488 zing director, liason [go between] to kick Doink Cola into the post
489 neclear age without fear of a cola winter. 
490  In the back of my mind I can remember some of Doink's early stuff.
491 EENY, MEENY, MINEY, MOE, serve em' Doink and watch em' go. Round
492 and round until they drop. Doink's the lethal soda pop!

523 Ripple: Welcome back! I thought you had been taken away by destriers and held
524 captive in their castle keep. It is good to know that you are free again and
525 again able to communicate. I tried to call you several times, but these
526 modern appliances left nothing to the imagination - No phone and you don't
527 exist.  I have a few things of your. Musical in nature, pleasant to listen
528 to, enjoyable to ponder. They can be returned if you wish, I have had my
529 enlightenment. Please write some more, your past is well remembered by the
530 keepers of the archives, and we would all like to make some more memories.
531 Guardian: Another long lost soul, returning, if even for a brief moment, to
532 the fold. Months have passed since you last graced this place. I remember
533 so well the stories we told around the Inn's warm and crackling fire. The
534 tales we spun, some true, others wishing they were. If our pasts guide our
535 futures, then our store will never be bare. Friend, adventurer, Inngoer of
536 reknown, welcome home.
537 Emu: The countdown is now done. Finished last Thursday at 4:30pm. It is
538 strange how we journey long to reach a single point. At the start of our
539 journey, the point is barely visible. It is more of an idea than an actual
540 state of physical being. We move on, and with time and trouble, the point
541 gains definition. We begin to see outlines, then details. We know, looking
542 back midway through our travel, that the point is obtainable, is tangible,
543 and more than some lofty idea or unobtainable goal. It is real, and it can
544 be ours. We move onward, and as the time of reaching becomes close, the
545 journey drags. It feels like the beginning, so many years ago. Suddenly,
546 and without any warning, time flies in the winds of change, and the point
547 charges towards us. The countdowns, the last minute preparations. The
548 memory of what went before. The wonder of what will come after. The point
549 is so close, so large, and then.... It is upon us. We are one with that
550 point, the point is no longer a separate entity. The walk down the aisle.
551 The speeches. The awards. The handshake. The applause. The accolades of
552 fellows and friends. All make the journey worth it. They make the journey,
553 and the memory of it, part of the prize.
554 
555 Congratulations Emu, Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science.
