Entirely off the shelf? Good to know. I'm hopefully getting hold of a
rotten ][ I had in the next week or so. My initial intent was just to grab
it to take its mockingboard for my //e platinum. But then I started to
think I may fix it up a little and use it for a bbs or some kind of
esoteric online content.
And sorry, it is one thing I won't part with easily if you were wondering.
