Disk sleeves: I think the only workaround would be to add even more conditions and modifiers to the MobyScale. It's just too abridged to convey this kind of detail. Nothing can replace a short, insightful description.
I could actually live with a MobyScale that is imperfect in this respect. It was tailored to accurately grade and describe packages that are more or less complete, not single materials. I agree that the MMC note is negligible in case important components are missing. I would leave it to the seller though if they want to include this or not. /Alexander -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 7:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Greetings At first I agreed that MO is a good idea, but it doesn't clear up the entire issue. What if you have a floppy and its disk sleeve? What if you have a floppy and manual only (but not the map). These would still be vaild uses of IM/IM, with a note as to what you have or what is missing. I still prefer this to MO. I like the first suggestion of allowing IM to be a condition, but this would require an update to MobyScale. IM would be a condition and (MMC) would be a modifier. So examples would be: IM/IM IM/VG (MMC) F/IM But you would never need: IM/IM (MMC) or F/IM (MMC). In other words, (MMC) should never be used in conjunction with an IM used to describe contents.
