I too, have been gathering parts for some years
now in order to upgrade my computers so activity
on the interenet, like mailing lists, won't be such
a chore - fighting to keep the minimum disk space
necessary to sort and filter incoming, and it's
reeeeal frustrating to expect various pieces
of hardware to arrive, that never show up ;)

I suppose the general concensus is that upgrading
of computer hardware is secondary for most of you,
as you PROBABLY have bought fairly recent systems,
but some of us are still trying to keep our 386's
in operation...

Glad you found those tubes, I'd be happy with a
couple 4CX250R's or maybe some 350's, or EVEN a
couple SK-620 Air Sockets so I can begin using
the 4X150A's and D's I've been able to get my
hands on, and upgrade to the 250R's later on.
