Re: More eBay madness

George,

You are one lucky guy!  I just did a massive swap with a guy near Niagara
falls.  A bunch of old compact macs for a bunch of Apple II stuff (including
2 IIgs's, 3 IIc's, 2 IIe's, and a II+, plus tons of cards and things.
Including a Transwarp GS, RamFast SCSI Card (Revision D!  Woohoo), GSRam
Plus, FingerPrint GSi, ComputerEyes GS, and SonicBlaster, and 300 3.5"
floppies.  There is no way I could have ever dug that stuff up myself.

So, George, I think your problem is simple - you need to buy a bigger
house!!  :)  What school is this, exactly, anyway?  Do they always have
their sale the same time every year?  Might be worth the drive.

Cheers
Tim
