Hi Joel,

I know where you can get an AS400 for the taking.  Then you can really
hack away like old times.  Maybe you can find a card reader for it?

So, on Tuesday's, when I'm in my hardcore trailing edge mood, I should 
use use Perl4.

Sounds like a good excuse for another machine. ;-) I've got an old 68k 
box or two, is there a MacPerl4? Or should I download a really old 
version of netBSD?

(Heh. Wish I really did have time to get netBSD up on my old performa 
550 and 630.)
