I hope his fish died from the PCB chemicals.
Oops. Thought that reply would be private. Sorry if I offended the
virgin ears.
I thought it was a very appropriate reaction seeing the post. Not even
taking the pair of Lisa's into consideration, he's got a couple of Mac's I
wouldn't mind having had before he destroyed them! One would hope that
they were parts machines prior to this, but I doubt it. Having said that I
have considered doing this with one of my Mac Pluses that IS a parts
machine (and most parts are now gone out of it).
If it makes you feel any better, my own Lisa 2 has a Widget and a 512K
memory board which I got from him for the price of postage.
As I recall, he was using "parts" systems for his aquariums, getting the
parts through some association with a computer store. I originally found
out about him from a Usenet posting where he was looking for dead Lisas.
Though his posting never mentioned aquariums, it was clear that he was
not looking for them to restore. Since I, OTOH, was looking for parts for
one, I decided to inquire about getting some castoff pieces.
Nice gentleman, as I recall.
