PC SWAP for Antenna Analyzer

Image by kc7fys
This Toshiba A15-S129 is available for swap. Details, if you are a ham radio person: I want to trade a Toshiba Satellite A15-S129 notebook computer for an antenna analyzer.

The Computer:
Celeron 2.4 GHz 400 MHz system bus clock speed
13 by 11.5 by 1.5 inches
6.3 pounds
40 GB hard disk
15-inch active-matrix display (1024×768 maximum resolution
DVD/CD-RW
two USB ports
integrated 56K modem
RJ-45 LAN network port
PCMCIA port (1)

The system fan buzzes when it starts up and after about 3-5 minutes quiets to normal and functions normally. There are about a dozen weird pixels where the screen has touched the touchpad over time all within a 1cm spot, and one 1-pixel-wide vertical line on the monitor. (Photographs show this.)
This would make an excellent PC for portable digital ops, and is a fine general-purpose second machine.
Photos:
I am looking for an MFJ antenna analyzer, or one of another type if you wish to suggest one.
Thanks,
KC7FYS

“Alaska Backpacker Extreme”

Image by AA7JC
I had to sell some ham radio equipment to afford this bugger.

.50 caliber revolver with some style! The CorBon 440 grain hardcast bullets are the size of an "AA" battery and with a velocity of over 1600FPS, It would be like getting hit with a bowling ball.

This is a special edition of the Smith&Wesson 500 with four inch barrel for my future backpacking trip in the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness (in Montana).

Those are reflections inside the cylinder, not bullets.

Oh, Dont get the wrong idea…
I am at peace with bears…
… as long as they don’t want a piece of me!

APR_Annie Russell_large

Image by Architectural Painting & Renovation Inc. (APR INC)
Website: aprinc.org
Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/aprinc.org

Architectural Painting and Renovation completed the restoration of beams and corbels in the 1932 historic Annie Russell Theatre of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. As the oldest performing arts theater in the state of Florida the beams were in need of a thorough cleaning, touch-up of stenciled areas and stenciling of areas that have been painted over in solid color through the years.

To keep the integrity of the Annie Russell Theatre stencils were fabricated by APR Inc. to match the historic designs. APR Inc. matched and created custom colors to replicate the aged tones of the designs and matched colors prior to glazing for the newly stenciled areas.

At evaluation after the initial start of the project it was determined that all areas, needed to be re-hand painted to brighten and freshen up the designs while still maintaining the integrity of the patina.
