These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various

brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the

cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of

the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long

time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually

486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account

(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway).

Febraury 2003 Issue 256

Editor's Comment

There is a derogatory statement regarding the ability of certain individuals to organise

a very enjoyable party in an establishment that brews beer.

This inability is something which can be found in a wide range of individuals and is

not limited to any particular type. it can be considered cute in certain types of the

human species but is never respected.

And it is something that cannot be tolerated in business, the difference in business.

of course. is that people pay you money to come to your party. And running a

business is the process of arranging these very enjoyable parties on a regular basis

usually with insufficient resources and if they aren't enjoyed you don't get the chance

to arrange them any more, because people stop coming and they don't pay.

But it can be worse than that, sometimes in business you get an organiser who is

really keen on putting these parties together: and perhaps they know plenty of people

who want to come. people who are very willing and tolerant. who want to have a good

time and will even put up with not having a good time occasionally.

But for some reason the organiser has someone on the crew who isn't a team

player. Someone who, for one reason or another, while seeming totally credible and

perhaps even seemingly helpful is forever stabbing them in the back. Forgetting

important things. not sending the invitations, undercooking the prawns for the salad, or

whatever.

And so a would-be organiser works his little cotton socks off. and gets nowhere. In

fact goes backwards. works themselves almost into the grave, wondering all the while,

why isn't it working? Why do things seem to be getting worse. Never realising the

truth. It can be a sad world.

There are other difficulties in the party organisation game. there are the ones who

are always preparing for that really really great party, but spend so much time

perfecting that it never happens. The ones who think they have a great idea for a party

but never check to see if any potential guests are interested.

The ability to organise an enjoyable party is far more than just that. It involves

teamwork and the ability to actually see where and when the party should take place.

Then getting the show on the road and actually doing it. There are so many ways it

can go wrong.

But get it right and everyone can have a really great time.
