Talk about great deal. A couple of years ago I went to an auction (in
Albuquerque) and there was the Amiga 4000 tower, pick it all up, Monitors,
printers, hard drives etc, all for $60.00 Sold the tower a month later for
$2500.00! Now, that was a bargain. But, I still yearn to find a bargain
basement Newton 2100 gawd that's was great find!
