$40 for the power supply? Gee, I got one I pulled in '88 when I got my
Vulcan and packed it in the box the hard drive came in... and it's still
there. You mean people actually would pay me for this thing?

On a totally unrelated subject, my original battery is still keeping time
for a machine bought at the beginning of 87. Strange. World record perhaps?
My mac's lasted less than 2 years.
