Re: GS ROM 0 problem

Where else can we look for cheap GS's.

You mentioned the "idiots" on Ebay.  What do you mean?  If you mean that
there is a collection of people willing to pay $100.00+ for a GS or 80.00+
for a focus hard drive that retails for $69.00 new,  just because they feel
anything on Ebay must be a deal. . . .I completely agree with you.  I
thought I was the only one.
