Re: Hey check out this auction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

["JPFinch" <steven.wong@ibm.net>]

Based on 2 earlier auctions this person held, it appears that they may
indeed have the stipulated item.

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=125985859

Best way to determine this is to ask this buyer about the pictures and
copies that they received

Unless you're going to use this item for historical value, then it would
be a complete waste otherwise.  This item should really be priceless
and stored in a museum; as this marks the beginnings of the PC era
which I believe has done more for the world than the prior generation
of large scale mainframes/minicomputers.

Wouldn't it be funny (maybe tragic) if someone just had extra money
(perhaps from day-trading bounties) and just decided to play around
with the machine and tossed it aside?  Almost like finding a missing
copy of the Declaration Of Independance and scribbling notes on it.
