[GreenKeys] Hello, new here

[Chris Fandt]

Welcome to our nice little List Maximus!

Where are you located? That will be very important for us to learn if we 
can help you if anybody has a machine to offer. 33s are real hard to 
ship with an expectation they'll arrive in the same condx they left the 
previous owner :-) So, probably some sort of hand-off shuttle, or local 
sourcing, or something.

I have three or four around here in varying states of condition (mostly 
kinda lousy condx), but I know I have to eventually get most of them 
outta here since I'm getting to danged old and have to clear stuff out 
over the next few years. Need to keep the best one of the lot to use 
with my 1973 Data General Nova 1200 once I get to restoring that 
computer in the next year or so.

I'm totally NOT impressed with what some folks try to get out of 33s on 
that ePay or elsewhere. What are they thinking?? (or not)  There are 
probably still a lot to be found stashed here 'n' there around the 
country; I suspect more so than probably 28s or even 15s/19s. Mine all 
came out of the local telephone company back in the early 80s when 
customers went to electronic terminals or whatever replacement scheme 
they chose for their comm needs.

Best regards,
    -Chris F.
