 any of it.
 Needless to say, he feels a little nauseous right now.
 I'll bet there are many similar woeful stories. 
<groan>  Yes.  We gave a mint Lisa 1 (w/10MB ProFile) to one of our
employees after selling off a business in the early 90's.  Had all the
docs, Lisa Office, you name it.  Worked fine.  Cost about $10k when it was
purchased new (~1983).
We thought he was doing us a favor by taking it <g>.
