I suspect the amount you would pay at the animal shelter would PALE next to what you are going to pay for vet bills, spaying/neutering (usually done around 6 mos as I recall), food, etc. So despite your comment, I'll plug these guys: http://www.worcester-arl.org/catsAdoption.html But for another source, people are giving away kittens all the time on Worcester freecycle.

non-Linux: Looking for a free kitten locally

by Tatsh

I know I have not ever sent an email, but I've been on the mailing list for some time. Been extremely interested in going to meetings but just have not done so yet. If you are local, and have healthy kittens to give away or know anyone who does locally (I live in Lancaster, about 20 minutes away from Worcester), please respond. Looking to just get one, at maximum 5 months old. I have been scouring the web and craigslist and have not found much. I do not really want to drop the amount they want at the local animal shelter. Any help appreciated. Thanks Andrew 978-870-5908

SCSI and laptop

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

I bought a new laptop but have an old umax scanner. Previously I used a PCMCIA SCSI card to hookup that scanner. My new laptop has expresscard. What is the easiest way to hookup the old scanner? I tried to used the old laptop the other day until I had time to look into how to do it with the new laptop and found it no longer boots. Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com
