Re: goodwill store brag

[Wrangler <>]

I've had good luck at the two local Goodwill stores.  I've never paid
over $17, most at $3.63 and such prices and 1/2 the crayon-marked
prices on "1/2 all electrical" days.

I have a iic and pwr supply, matching 5 1/4, 2 color apple composite
monitors, 1 b/w, a Mac Plus, Mac SE,  Mac LC II, and an ImageWriter.

My latest big acquisiiton was the LC @ $18.21 / 2.

Oh yes, and it all works, except the b/w composite monitor is a little
weak.

My only other Apple is the iic that I paid about $2,100 for in 1983,
and it still works!
