Re: expecting 2e, newbie questions

["John King" <joki@eskimo.com>]

Thanks for the reply. Wanna here a "funny" account of my bid? Well ... the
2e cost $34 on ebay but it looks like it's an older one :-( (oh well), but
shipping .... shipping cost $68!! Woah.

It gets worse ....
There was a guy up in Seattle whose similar (maybe better??) 2e went for
$3.50 or so. I could have just gone up and got it. I saw this bid AFTER I
locked in my bid -- live and learn.

Anyway, old or new, it will be fun to play around with.

Thanks for your help.
