John: I think my area of the country (Salem Oregon) is lucky in that we are a
fairly poor area of a not too rich state and the APpels are just NOW being
disposed of by the backwoods schools and we are in the only metro area nearby
where Goodwill does bizz, hence, they are showing up. The other thing is I
may just be the only Apple ][ nut in this area and therefore....When I show up
at the thrifts I do run into some guys grabbing the 386s but an old 2? forget
it!
btw I will mention it: THat ROM 3 I bought this weekend? 3 dollars.'
