    Excuse me? I _never_ disputed such system setups exist, what
I did say was you will almost never find that setup for sale. The
key here is: Do they exist? Yes. Are they commonly for sale? No.

    Absolutely. If you wanted to sale your Apple IIgs with all those
items your currently using (17" monitor, laser printer, Zip drive,
1+ gig hardrive, etc) then it should be worth $300+. Though like I
said, you could replace the IIgs with a VIC 20 or a box of doughnuts
and the value isn't going to change.

    You turned the whole debate into whether a large collection of
modern PC/Mac hardware can be worth $300+. So, just like the MIDI
on the IIgs dicussion (and several others) you took the whole
debate off track and put it in a totally different direction.
Now that this debate is over, that reminds me, what happened to
that stereo audio waveform you were going to upload to Ground
to show me Oversampler can support true stereo playback? :)
