Sniing was Re: Microdata "Microprogramming Handbook"

Having been an avid thrift-store visitor for years, I can say that I'm finding much more in the way of interesting classic computer items on eBay than I ever have locally. One gets tired of finding mostly Commodore and Apple II stuff after a while and little else. In fact, most of the items I've been given for nothing or very little were due to people finding my web page and contacting me. On the other hand, some items, such as the Amiga prototypes that Dave Haynie recently put up for auction, couldn't be had any other way regardless of how much you looked. The fact is, eBay has it's uses and each individual must determine on their own how to use it best for what they want. You're correct though that if a person doesn't agree with it's use, then they shouldn't do so. There are other avenues.
