Trust me Ian, I don't need this thing either, just don't want to see it
scrapped. If there is any way to not have to take it I'll be happy. I'm
estimating at least $600 to get it back here. So if you have any
possibility of getting it, that's the best solution.

I was looking at these again this morning. I would really hate
that these get scrapped - I have the guys number and I am
planning to call him in a bit to see what's going on.
Unfortunately, there is no way I can go out there Friday - unless
I take the day off from work. I'm also not that close, it's over
a 3 hour drive. And while I love the Printronix P-600 as well
(I'm still maintaining two of 'em for a customer!), and I find
the concept of another, different mini very cool, I'm not sure I
_need_ either one.
I'm a bit short on space, and I still have to go pick up a big TI
system sometime in th near future...
But still - anyone out there willing to rescue thes guys? I'll
call the guy in a couple hours and see if he's had any inquiries,
and see if it's possible to pick it up on the weekend, but only
if nobody else wants it. It's one of those things "yeah, I kinda
want it, but I don't need it, and I really don't want to go out
there to get it... but I don't want it to get scrapped either".
