Good Finds ?

Well, I'd like to add a subset to Larry's addition to Rax's theorom (or was that law?). I've been out of commision with a monster cold the last umpteen days so I've not been able to scour the thrift shops as I usually do. A reprieve from having to find space for new additions ? not likely. While in bed my father calls from his cell phone at different times and says that he's spotted an old IBM luggable, a Kaypro, and an IBM 3274 server ("its cheap, should I pick it up for you?). The damn things follow me. Its more than just one part causing the rest of the system to show up (actually theres a term in psychoanalytic theory for this but I've forgotten it -8 years of university psychology down the drain), its them starting to become artifically intelligent and taking over ones life. Them starting to "collect themselves". I'm actually becoming irrelevant to their cause. As I said, I've been sick, so ignore this to your advantage. Anyone have info on the IBM 3274 beastie? I've written IBM but have heard nothing yet. TIA Colan
