    DS> Ed,   
   Howdy Daryl,   
      
    EV>While I was looking through some books and papers about computers I   
    EV>found a advertisement for Your Model 100 pc.   
      
    EV>I thought about You when I saw it.   
      
    DS>    How thoughtful. :)   
   -snip-   
    EV>I suppose since Radio Shack closed its stores this advertisement is now   
    EV>a "Collectable".   
      
    DS>   No kidding. I still have the BBS software I ran on the Model   
    DS> 100 in the files area over here.   
      
    EV>Hmmm, I wonder how much the plastic bags the stores used would be worth   
    EV>10 years from now???? ??        
      
    DS>   Not sure.   
      
   Before I started writing this Reply I thought to see if Radio Shack   
   still had a web page, and Yes they do.   
      
    comingsoon.radioshack.com  is the address of the page shown in Firefox.   
      
   At the top of the page it says:   
      
   "RADIOSHACK.COM'S ONLINE STORE IS COMING BACK SOON! in the meantime,   
   visit us at over 1,700 locations >"   
      
   So my statement about saving collectible plastic bags doesn't hold   
   water, does it?   
      
   I looked on their web site and there are two stores in Your area.   
   One in Little Rock and the other in North Little Rock.   
      
   Would You want me to scan that Model 100 Advertisement and Attach it to   
   a Email to You anyway?
