Funny, I looked at that listing and saw no bid history and in fact no way
to bid other than "Buy It Now" (which I almost did, until I thought about
mortgage payments and utilitiy bills...)

What I find rather interesting is that the Lisa almost seems to be
included as an incentive to buy the CF adaptor board... or vice versa...
either way, it seems like a pretty attractive deal.

Although you might be tarred and feathered for discussing Macs here,
Lisa-related topics seem to be tolerated for the most part.
