	Now is the time to clean out the computer room cupboards and 
	send all your old floppies off to the NOP SIG Library. We are
	looking for any old RX01, RX02, RX180, RX31, RX33 and RX50 
	floppies to help complete the DECUS collection of DEC Software. 
	We want any system - any version. Documentation is also wanted.

	All old floppies can be recycled, even if they are only old 
	document or data floppies (they can be erased or reformatted to
	provide working copies of Library Software for home users).

	Dont think that your floppies are useless if you do not have a 
	complete set, we already have lots of partial sets of floppies 
	and the more we get the better.   
					 Please send parcels to:    
	W. Faets, Digital Centre, 35 Sydenham Road,  Brookvale NSW  2100,

	or call Cameron on 872 4728, or John on 764 4855 to arrange for
	a pick-up. Dont forget the matching manuals and documentation.
	Popular third-party products are also very welcome.
