A1200? I have a A4000 and a A500 (gathering dust), before that a A1000... Is the A1200 an actual machine? I don't remember that...?

It's been gone since November 2003, on Don Plesky's own request. He was the only node left and didn't see a point in continue to poll...

He is however still listed in de fido-nodelist, so he might even be connected here? Don? ;)
