From mjb at autox.team.net Sun Jul 29 21:07:38 2007 From: mjb at autox.team.net (Mark J. Bradakis) Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 21:07:38 -0600 (MDT) Subject: [Roadsters] List changes Message-ID: <20070730030738.75C90187ACC@autox.team.net> In case you are wondering about that odd email welcoming you to a list you already receive, I've switched datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net from majordomo to mailman list management software. Some things will be different, some will be the same. As before, if you want to send mail to datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net you send mail to datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net - you'd be surprised at how many folks can NOT figure that one out! With Mailman, managing your subscription should be more web friendly. You can go to the web pages listed in the messages and muck about with your settings. One major change is that there is now just the one list datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net, the list datsun-roadsters-digest at autox.team.net no longer exists. But this doesn't mean there is no digest format, it just means that one doesn't need to unsubscribe from one list and subscribe to the other just to switch formats. Go to the list pages, log in, and select digest or non-digest as you desire. Another handy option is the 'nomail' feature. If you are going to be away from your email for a while, you can set your membership to nomail, and then back to regular delivery upon your return. A bit easier than having to unsubscribe and then subscribe again. A useful way to make use of the nomail feature is to enable submissions from multiple addresses. For example, one might want to subscribe a-student at diploma.mill.edu as your main address. But sometimes you send mail from work, so you can subscribe busybee at monolith.com and set the second address to nomail. So messages you send from either address will pass the membership test, but you won't get multiple copies of each list message. RealSoonNow I'll have a web page that covers some more of the various differences and features. mjb.

I recognize those beautiful eyes a mile away. She was red in color , convertible, the top was down and it was a gentleman and his wife. O one more thing Lester from Vista came to pick up his new 64 3 seater roadster that I sold him today. I helped him put it in his trailer and had a good time talking to him. Good luck Lester, I'll be down in Vista to see how the project is going.

My understanding is that speakers can easily be added to non-speakered seats. There was a URL for installing speakers, but I lost my bookmarks when I left my last job. I just Googled and found http://forum.miata.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-119366.html, where they talk about putting speakers into headrests, including which years can be done and which can't. Another URL recommended infinity kappa 3.5" speakers at $50/pair. I have no hands on experience, nor do I gain anything from recommending these, jsut what popped up on Google searches.
