My Hyundai Accent GL 4 door with a 1.6 will do 110+ gripes a bit around 115 and won't get much over 120, but yes, thats on a flat, stock and in just under 2 miles.
UPS store seems to be a scam... I've price compared and its up to 25% more than UPS through office depot. Oh and the brown stores are brown run, OTOH, I shipped a monitor with brown, too big and heavy for USPS to even handle, and found out that for Electronics not in original packing, if they don't pack it they won't ship it, so it has to go brown store. THe local post office told me the basically the same, they won't ship electronics not in original packing.
UPS is likely cheaper, when I was price comparing for large/heavy UPS beat USPS by a substantial margin(25%) And I might be able/willing to think about that item...
Problem is my budget/wife's allowances is $5-50 each... so I do alot of thrift stores/garage/yard sales/junk stores/flea markets... I picked up a 5150 for $10 with OEM keyboard and wooden footies. I've got a GS waiting for me when I get back to San Antonio, but I could convince the wife to allow me to pay shipping for SOME working items.
Tandy still has those items on their official price list online, it might be worth calling them, there are other places I stumbled across that claimed to have Tandy/TRS parts, but it was more than I am/was prepared to pay, YMMV.
List it for a penny with weight and shipping clearly listed as actual, none of this $250 shipping for a classic mac that weighs 50lbs. List actual weight, office depot/max/staples ups outlets will let you weigh on a walkin and come back to ship it at a later date.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... if you are willing to accept shipping plus ebay costs SOMEONE will pay to get it to them... I sold a set of older Brittanicas taking up space for $100 shipping. Took me 3 boxes and cost me 98.50 to UPS, but they're shipped, and they aren't in a landfill.
On another side note if you have anything that works, put it on ebay or slashdot and you can find someone who will at least pay shipping to take it off your hands.
I've found lately that the 60Hz flicker of the tv makes it difficult to focus on my book even though I'm only near the TV because I'm spending time with my wife and the book and tv are largely peripheral.
MY PC(IBM 5150) has a 140W supply. I don't have an XT for comparison, but I believe it was the same... I assumed when you said PC-1 you were referencing IBM, if not, I apologise and stand corrected.
Unwanted bases in SA?? Unwanted by who?? the nationals making a fair wage, the government who invited us? or some other group??
If you believe you can't opt out of society, I have some Amish neighbors to introduce you to, they don't pay taxes, don't have electricity, and don't put up with the public school system.
Never attacked me personally or nationally, how about fired on legitimate patrol missions of the northern and southern no-fly zones? not once or twice, but daily for 12 years. Sounds like an attack to me.

I priced it out, and everyone says that, it was ~$.60 per lb UPS and almost $1.00 per lb usps media...

I'm not in Chicago... Thanks..
An IMAC/Emac?? or a pizza box/tower? An Imac would do nicely in my Shrine/computer room.

Donate it to a homeless person, they always need someplace warm and sheltered to sleep.

Its also a popular female name.
Why?? when has a gun properly safed and unloaded sitting in the corner shot and killed someone??
OR a gun being carried on a gun-rack jumped off and shot someone??
OR a broken shotgun locked its own breach and shot someone.
Guns are only scary to people who haven't been properly trained and exposed to them.
Well I'm sorry you have such a poor vocabulary and so little self control that you must stoop to using language that expresses your lack of education.
So CC complains about the bomb, accepts the dove, and then the Anti-war group complains that the dove was rejected too?
Too much he said she said.
