    I tried to send this via E-mail but it did not recognize 'ritcv' as

    last warning to hit 'n'.

  Hi,
 
   I am one of those you mentioned trying to get rid of my Rainbow in
   order to get a IBM PC-type machine.  It's in great working order,
   actually hardly ever been touched.  I got it from my sister who
   bought it solely because there was some whiz bang software program
   which would interface into her court reporting job but the company
   went defunct and she had no use for it.  I got it from her to use
   it as a dumb terminal to hook up with a VAX at work.  Very soon
   after I got a VT240 loaner from work and since then the Rainbow
   'has been gathering dust'.  Anyway, I recently decided to test the
   market for someone who would buy or trade for it.  

   Anyway, this is what I have available:

            * DEC Rainbow 100+ with Winchester Hard Disk
              and monochrome monitor.

            * All original Documentation and software including
                 - CP/M 86/80  Version 2.0
                 - MS DOS  Version 2.05

            * Micro Pro WORDSTAR  version 3.3 

            * DEC LA50 printer with 6 Replacement Ribbons

            * 50 DEC RX50 compatible Mini Diskettes

            * Misc. Court Reporting Software including:
                 - The CAT  version 2.1  (2 disks)
                 - The CAT  version 1.210  (2 disks)
                 - VERTICAT  version 2.2  (2 disks)
                 - VERTICAT  version 2.102  (2 disks)

      That's the list.  I have a pending offer from one company
      who's interested in the hardware only for $700.  I trying
      to work out a deal with another company (also interested
      only in the hardware) for a trade for a TURBO-XT compati-
      ble.  When you talk about 'offering some $$$$' is this about
      the range you're talking about?  If not, and I can work out
      a deal with one of these companies, would you be interested
      in any of the software and/or blank diskettes??

      thanx for your time.
