Last month when I picked up the MacIIci for $5, I

for $25 because it had no Ethernet and was only a 25Mhz 68040. I figured I
already had that much and there was no reason to clutter up with one more
box. I think, eventually, when the University surpluses something faster,
I'll upgrade, but for now, the Amiga reigns supreme amongst my Mac collection.
There's a guy at TRW sometimes with MacII's for $5...as-is, obviously.
I'd be happy to pick one up for you, if you're interested at all. I
grabbed one a few months ago that had an 8*24GC card and an Asante NIC in
it. All said and done, $20 landed me a IIfx (40mhz/68030) that does
1280x1024 in 16bit mode. I got mine to play with A/UX, but I did load
system 7.5.5 on it and it's really a very useable machine.
Great anecdote, by the way. You should forward your last email to the
maintainer of the mac clone site...
Cheers,
