if the winner would take something like that, scan it,
and make it available to the dumb masses? Perhaps a
group bidding network should be formulated and really
crazy stuff like that could be made publicly
available, instead of just going into someone's
private stash, or just to sit behind glass in some
museum.
The psycho, er, ah seller in this case is "computer knowledgable" to
quote one of his emails to me in the past, and could do the scanning
as a service to collectors as well, and not detract from the value
of his items.
I commented to him about something in the past, and got back a
hate filled response from him and would never buy anything from
this guy.
sad to say, he has a lot of stuff that probably is significant. which
points up one of the things that can be really frustrating about buying
anything, the bad seller.
I have had few bad experiences with people on ebay, but I didn't
even buy from this guy and he went nuts.
as to "behind glass" in museums, I hope that is not a permanent
situation with respect to documentation and software.
