	My *old* machine?  He could make use of an Altair 680b?  That is one
atypical preacher.

	I guess that he couldn't, then. :-)


	Now -- since this is asking for a computer for a church in Missouri
(USA for you Aussies and Argentinians on the newsgroup list), I have to
wonder at the list of newsgroups.
  --------------------------------------------------
alt.folklore.computers -- 	Talk about computers too old to run any 
				Microsoft OS, especially the Windows that
				you request. (Except for the cross-posted
				relgious wars.)

alt.religion.computers --	Where people fight over which computer type
				or editor or whatever is the best ( known as
				"Religious Wars")
				
aol.commerce.computers.forsale	This and the next two might make some sense,
				but can you get to them from tyrell.net?
aol.commerce.computers.wanted
aol.computers

ar.supercomputers --		Is this Argentina?  Hardly local to Missouri
				-- and you should problably include a Spanish
				translation. :-)

asu.announce.micro.computers	??? Where is this ???  Some university?

aus.ads.forsale.computers --	From here on, it is sure that the cost of
aus.computers			shipping the computer would be more than
aus.computers.ai		it is worth.
aus.computers.cdrom
  --------------------------------------------------

	I find myself wondering just how widely spammed this may be.  Is it
*just* these groups, or is this just a tiny sample?  Or did you just follow
up to an existing article and not look at the Newsgroups: header?

	Followups set to alt.folklore.computers.  I'm sure the rest have no
interest in this, and it should die out here fast enough.
