Here I am in the heart of Silicon Valley and people act like my machine is from another planet! "Is that a 6300?" "I've never seen one of those." "Uh, we could look at it but we'll have to order any parts, why don't you call AT&T?" etc... How DO you go about getting a 3b1 fixed? Ed and I discussed his problem today by phone, and I invited him to the next meeting (next week, 28-Feb-1990) of the AT&T Users' Group, South Bay UNIX (meeting in the AT&T site at 1090 E. Duane Avenue in Sunnyvale at 7PM; there should also be an announcement in the San Jose Mercury News' COMPUTING CALENDAR this Sunday; forget the announcement in COMPUTER SHOPPER ... that one is all screwed up). An announcement will soon be made publically for "A Small Computer Repair Co." whose charter is to fix and repair AT&T 6300, 7300, 3B1, UNIXPC, and like computers. The AT&T San Leandro (CA) site is being closed down, so if you used to send your computers there for repair you'll want to keep an eye out for the ``ASCRC'' announcement; that San Leandro site is(was) the world-wide AT&T repair center for 6300, 7300, 3B1, UNIXPC, and like computers.
