That might have been me! I bought up a bunch of Burroughs mainframes for £150 each in the mid-90s, then parted them out to various defense contractors for a HUGE profit. I think I made about £30,000 from that. Those were the days.... Dave _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
