[time-nuts] HP/Dymek DY-5842-- WARNING!

Sun Oct 3 17:46:04 UTC 2010

There is a large post office on Mt.Auburn Street within 1200 feet of the
place you worked for over a year of the time you had Chuck's manual.

There is a Post Office within 6 miles of your home, whether you go North,
South or East.

The manual will fit within a USPS Flat Rate box.

> Chuck and the list I apologize for holding on to your manual for so long
