I thought why would
 DEC quibble over 80/20p and not round the price?
 Understand that all the price lists would be a lot of info, but aren't
 there
 a few choice pages which would cover at least some of the items below,
 particularly the items that would have been in a DECdirect catalogue? If
 you
 have this material, perhaps you could lend it to me instead of scanning a
 load of stuff? Is that something you would consider? Hopefully it would not
 need to be all 2ft worth!
 Thanks
 Rob

 oops missed a decimal point
 ?347.80
 as for scanning, and reference
 2 ft of shelf space in thin paper is a lot of work
