I know what you mean, I like the real thing better, it's just the 
experience (I have a Platinum).

If I had the money (I don't do eBay.  Maybe I might see about buying 
personally from someone, Feb. is the only month for awhile that I might 
even have money to throw around because I'm going to try importing the 
live-action Sailor Moon DVDs from Japan starting in March) I might like to 
buy an older machine, like a 6502 //e (the old old ones!) or a Vader ][ 
(damn I miss having one of those!), or something else to help me get my 
fix of retrologia. :P  Then again I have to get one of those suckers 
connected to my serial port, on my Linux box, and find a Linux-compatible 
ADT or whatever, or I have barely any software.  (I have some software for 
the ][, but most of it's images.)

I'm dreaming. T_T
