I am interested in old ATARI computer equipment. And I am willing
to pay a decent price for the following....
800XL or 130XE computers
1050 disk drives, xf551 disk drives, 1020 plotter, cassette drives
any and all software for the atari 8-bit computer.
Thank you.

Subject: Switching from ISP BACK to CServe
Can anyone out there convince me to stay with my UNIX based ISP
instead of going BACK to CompuServe?
CServe has a rate similar to my ISP (for 15 hours of CServe use).
The problem is that I cannot get the hang of sending and receiving
binary files. When I send attachments to myself from work, I have to
save it to a dir on my ISP rather than downloading that email directly
to my computer.
These are added steps I would like to do without.
On CServe, all I have to do is go to my mailbox and download any of
the messages I want directly to my C64 (attachment and all).
For example, I sent several text files to my ISP. I received them
successfully. Then I had to save them all to a dir at my ISP. I then
exit "elm" and do a "sz [filename]" ("filename" being the name of the
file I saved all of my texfiles to).
I d/l this file (containing all of the text files) and then tried to
uudecode it. Well, it uudecoded the first file successfully, but it
got "stuck" on the second one. It just sat there with the drive
lights on for about 10 minutes (it should have only taken, at the
most, 3 minutes).
WHEREAS with CServe, I could have d/l each file individually,
uudecoded them individually, and been just fine! :-)
The only problem with going back w/ CServe is that the telnet
connection for surfing won't let me d/l anything, or even set up a
bookmark file. Those problems are what is keeping me with the ISP.
Can anyone help? Possibly give me a lead on a more user friendly ISP?
Maybe that is all that is available for UNIX users, I don't know.
Thanks for you help!

Subject: tech support in Spain
I received an e-mail message asking me if there was technical support in
Spain for the Commodore. I've searched and looked but have found nothing
so I'm posing the question here. Is there any?
