[] 13 Sep 89: Tad asked for new checks to replace the old ones, [] which were incorrectly addressed to HMCMUG. it was at this point that i backed out of that deal. tad assured me that he would destroy the check. i backed out because i got a better offer, however, i've been wondering if i should have just sent tad a SASE asking that the check be returned to me. i figured that there were 50 or so names (some prominent) on the list and so a "scam" would only involve ~ $8,500, not worth the trouble. perhaps a recall is in order since PMMU's can be had commercially for $169.00 from, for example, Tercom: 1-800-544-9543 or 1-800-669-7555 6920 Roosevelt Way NE Suite #193 Seattle WA 98115 and they accept charge cards, etc... is there _anyone_ from HMCMUG or HMC who can shed light on this? -dave- hairston@henry.ece.cmu.edu
