Paging Timo - K100

Is this your sort of thing?
I did a K100 streetfighter in the late 80's. It was sweet and folk
mostly loved it.
Obviously this one needs matt black paint.

eBay 180034616359

It still needs a little sorting so I'd put it at £1000 tops

 

hmmm. matey has it at a starting bid of 1500... 's a bit sow's ear from a
silk purse stylee - big list of new parts, and then he ends up with "it's
not fast and it doesn't handle esepcially well". Makes one wonder why he
bothered.

 

Your message picked up some litter on its way here.

Did you include "rtCurve.gif"?

 

Erm not here?

xv on solaris doesn't like it, tho' I cut-'n'-pasted the ASCII
so uudecode may have lost something. Doesn't look like an executable.

Hog was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Well, I'm not really into 'fighters but that doesn't look *too* bad.

Something like that.

I think his starting bid is off by an order of magnitude.

 

I quite like it, but I'd get a shiteoldK100 for v little dosh and strip off
the junk, rather than shell out for that.

 

Yup.

 

Thus spake Dr Ivan D. Reid () unto the assembled multitudes:

I see it with tin on Solaris. Looks far too small to be a uuencoded gif.

 

Thus spake () unto the assembled multitudes:

<anorak on> Actually, on uuedecoding and opening in Photoshop, it shows a
very tiny image (16x16 pixels, grey/white in a rough curve) but nothing that
makes any sense.<anorak off>

 

Well my system here is clean and nobody else has complained?

 

I hope that was Photoshop on solaris. I never try to open dodgy
..gif on a Windows machine, and preferably on the work Sun.

Speaking of .gifs...

I saw it using agent. It's you.

I haven't complained because I was not paying attention but I see it.

 

Thus spake Dr Ivan D. Reid () unto the assembled multitudes:

It was on Windoze XP and I had no problems, but I have good antivirus s/w
which is updated daily. In any case that gif file was so tiny I seriously
doubt that it could hold enough code to do any harm.

 

True. At best it could hold a dodgy URL if some means of
accessing it were implied. Tho', what's the smallest programme that could
completely wipe your hard disk? In any event, I mostly see these things
at work and we have Rules that govern how we should use computers. I
figger that if there's a chance something will screw up my desktop, then
I'll pass the risk on to the mainframe -- if it screws _that_ up then it's
