I re-foamed a set of Boston Acoustics 741s (car speakers) about ten years ago. The replacement foam is still good today.
This is though ten years of Iowa summers and winters (range +105F to -20F), lots of thumping bass, two different vehicles, never garaged. They still sound excellent
If I remembered where I purchased the kit from I 'd post it, it came from an ad in the back of Stereo Review (Now known as Sound and Vision)
I'd advise attempting this only if you have steady hands. The supplied adhesive is extremely sticky, so you only get one shot. Also, larger drivers are probably more difficult to repair, these are a 4" midrange, so it wasn't too tough.
Long ago, Ma Bell pressurized the long distance cabling with air to keep the conductors dry. What would they have to do with these, pressurize them with seawater?
Which doesn't make sense anyway, as 220 AC is just two 110v wires that are 180 out out phase to each other. Short of grabbing one wire of each phase, you'd never get 220.
I have one of these at work and one at home. The Phaser 740 is a color laser, not one of the wax printers.
It probably wouldn't do for photo proofing. We use ours for proofing layouts for publishing. The colors are fairly accurate when set up properly, but photos tend to look a little "raster" like. You can see what looks like scan lines in photos.
This model was made before Tektronix was assimilated by Xerox, and are very durable and reliable. Consumables seem expensive, but the price per page is quite low.
Probably like the record companies do. They use American Express Gift Cheques to pay the radio stations their payola.
Not traceable or taxable.

Dont' bet on it, they came close to filing for bankruptcy a couple of years ago.
Xerox is currently on shaky ground financially. Sales and profits have been declining for the past four years. They also are in trouble for using Enron/Worldcom style accounting, overstating earnings by billions in that time period.
We just purchased a used piano for our daughter to learn on. In the small amount of research I did before we purchased, I found that there is some consensus that any piano over about 50 years old is not worth anything. This is due to the large amount of moving parts to wear, and the fact that the wood becomes dried out and brittle (as the piano in the story).
Our 35-year old studio console cost only $1000 from a reputable dealer, including cleaning and tuning.
Something like this would certainly have made more sense take into the Amazon than a decrepit old grand that was probably donated to keep from having to pay to have it removed! (easier to move too-only about 400 pounds)
MAD magazine did a bit called "Typewri-Toons" back in the early 60's. I don't remember if they did the smiley, but they did come up with a lot of pictorial representations using only a typewriter.
Slashdot Mirror
That's the author's legal name, like Prince or Madonna?
He's really 31337 haxor. Next you know he'll just have a symbol for a name.
Maybe it will be useful for high speed channel changing.
ICN Sale information
Since Iowa's legislative leaders have decided that eduction doesn't pay (no lobbyists like the agriculture industry), the ICN is being dismantled and sold piecemeal.

Here's where Microsoft's "Technology Festival" will be held...
1.make a quality product
2.at a reasonable price
than conduct all this bullshit?
Apparently people want to see non-stock photos so badly that Rackspace is slashdotted?
Better free up some "rackspace" for additional web servers!

Were they also using bamboo computers and fax machines to send out scam letters?

Especially the ROLEX variety.

I hope one of those comes through my roof

One of the group objects on our Netware server is for employees in sales and marketing.
It was called S&M by whoever set it up. Always good for a laugh when we get a new employee.
