I will second that, since my layoff last year I have to cut back deeply. I
too hope 2003 is a better year.

Subject: Hard year
I was just wondering if any of you have had to
drastically cut back on
your
collecting this year. I collected 20+ Apple II clones
in 2001. So far this
year, I think that I've picked up maybe six. Collecting old computers is a
luxury, of course and this year has been hard on my wallet. I've watched
several choice systems go by on ebay, and I never used to let any of them
go
by -even the crappy ones.
Things are getting better for me but I'll sure be damned glad when this
lousy year is over. People talk about Black '87 but as far as I'm
concerned,
'02 has been my "black" year.
