----- Original Message ----- Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:32:25 -0700 From: "Rick Bensene" <rickb at bensene.com> Arggghhh! This is total sacrilege to an old calculator enthusiast such as myself. It hurts to see a machine like this gutted out and sold as a trinket. It hurts even more because the Compet 361 is a machine I've been looking to find for the museum for a very long time. I agree...many people do suck!

Are any other parts still available as well? --- Her reply: I wish there was I would have sold it whole it was sitting for so many year rust got to alot of it and it was the only board that was very nice and clean. - nancytemple202020 So, does she deserve to be insulted for not realizing that a nasty, rusty piece of junk is worth more to some people than the only nice and clean board out of it, or should we be grateful that she at least saved that board and made it available?

S**t happens, life is full of disappointments and people don't always do what we want them to; get used to it! Sheesh!
