Thank you for the offer! About two days ago, I was lucky to clean out a
guy's house of Apple II-related stuff at no cost. I obtained a number
of gems, including the original 16-sector Apple stickers (the red
ones), a working Apple II+ that I'm able to use as spare parts, and
some old Apple-published brochures.

The way I found out about this guy was via a referral by a member of my
Apple user group. The guy found our club's web site, then used the
contact information to pin down our membership chairman. The MC then
contacted me because Ryan Suenaga and I are the only Apple II
enthusiets in Hawaii (Ryan's currently attending KansasFest so he
couldn't take advantage). So getting the word out about me looking for
Apple II stuff is paying off. I highly recommend everyone who's hunting
for Apple II stuff to join the Macintosh user groups in their area so
they can use it as a resource.
