Good News Guy’s Good News!
Don’t miss the news item in today’s Daily News about the Used Computers on Page 18. It’s my good news. I wrote the book on how to run a used computer brokerage business back in 1983 and the businesses discussed in the news story are owned by people who read my book. Well, I’m not in that business anymore, I am here taking care of your good news, instead of trading computer hardware. And frankly, your good news is a lot more fun that trading computer hardware. 03/11/97 9:43 AM
Don’t Miss Hale-Bopp
The Comet Hale Bopp is a wonderful sight in the early morning dawn. If you live on the north side or where you get a clear view to the north east, go out between about 5:30 and 6Am and look into the northeast sky. The comet looks like a smudge, rather than a star and its tail is easily visible with the naked eye. Its worth getting up to see. 03/11/97 7:44 AM
