Great listings on online auction sites are often “Local Pickup Only”. It would help to have a friend who lives there who can ship it to you. If you don’t, then, fortunately, you can hire one.
I haven’t tried it yet, but sites like TaskRabbit seem to be the way to get stuff picked up and delivered to you.
I wish I knew about this when that perfect Macintosh SE/30 got listed in Los Angeles!
Here is the new RSS feed.

Here is a High Performance Computing (HPC) system with sevente Apple II motherboards: one controller and sixteen nodes.
It is probably as great as you imagine.
Here is a hand-held mobile computer running Python.
It does GRAPHING pretty well too!
How hard can it be?
I just tagged Org2Blog v1.1.11. It’s got a few nice changes for easier blogging. It got a lot of changes to make it easier to contribute and report issues. After this, all of the work will bring it up to the current version of Emacs and Org mode. That work will begin in the v1.2.0 branch. For the sake of simplicity, consider it unstable (no matter how unlikely, that is where issues could show up). When it is ready, I’ll post it for people who want to test it out.
Happy Blogging!
Here is the change summary:

Open Script Editor and paste each block into a new script for you to use.
var systemEvents = Application("System Events");
var systemPreferences = Application("System Preferences");
systemPreferences.activate();
systemPreferences.panes.byId(
"com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
).anchors.byName("Seeing_Display").reveal();
chkInvert = systemEvents.applicationProcesses.byName(
"System Preferences"
).windows.byName("Accessibility").checkboxes.
byName("Invert colors");
systemEvents.click(chkInvert);
systemPreferences.quit();
var systemEvents = Application("System Events");
var systemPreferences = Application("System Preferences");
systemPreferences.activate();
systemPreferences.panes.byId(
"com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
).anchors.byName("Seeing_Display").reveal();
chkInvert = systemEvents.applicationProcesses.byName(
"System Preferences"
).windows.byName("Accessibility").checkboxes.
byName("Use grayscale");
systemEvents.click(chkInvert);
systemPreferences.quit();
Yes. You can do it with server-eval-at instead of emacsclient.
It took days too long for me to understand the solution.
In honor of that effort, in case someone out there can benefit, I wrote down all of my notes here.
Happy Hacking!
