When you look at the page you will find on the left side a column called "Homeowner's page". Press enter. The next page (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.loc.uk) !!

(...) First I assume you are talking about the blue 1x2x2 classic windows. I really hope people wern't buying them for $10 a pop. If I thought I could get that much I would have been buying up all the Dacta 9291's they had at TCS. (URL) set has 4 of (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.promo, lugnet.loc.uk)
