Hi Philip!  I see you're a world customer.  Give my regards to Barry,

I think that any reasonably priced SCSI drive should do you fine..
I'm still waiting for Phil to wake up and tell me how to serial
download mine into shape, so maybe we'll both figure it out! :-)

Why none other than beautiful Clyde CA!  Yep, from Munich to Dublin
to...  Clyde!  I wasn't a seasoned world traveller before, but now
that I've been to Clyde I can truly say that I've been everywhere! :-)

P.S.  The population of Clyde is about 140 or so and has only one very
LARGE neighbor, the Concord Naval Weapons Station..  I can't exactly
see the bunkers where they keep the nukes from my backyard, but if I
could manage a good 5000 yard sprint, avoiding the gun towers,
elecronic sentries, 200 trained dobermans and M-16 toting military
police, why, I imagine I could probably get as close as 500 yards or
so before being reduced to a reddish stain on the ground! :-)
