Re: IIGS for sale

["Jason Whorton" <jason@microxl.com>]

Please allow me to chime in with... for that price, one could buy a slow
Pentium PC with fairly modern everything that would be much more capable of
doing modern computing tasks.  If it had rare hardware or software, it might
be worth that, but I didn't see mention of it.  If anyone cares, ask me
about my theory on what I call "the gold plated Pinto".

Thank you,
