Hell Yes! I passed up three Amigas with the video toasters just two
weeks ago at the Orlando Hamfest. I think the guy would have given them to
anyone that would take them. Hunting at hamfests are just like hunting
anywhere else: Go often, Go early and look hard and you'll find the stuff.
Also talk to people about what you're looking for and you'll frequently
find someone that has an old computer that they've been saving becasue they
stnd the thought of throwing it away and they're just looking for someone
that will take it and preserve it. I found a Sage with all the manuals and
SW that way last fall. I've NEVER left a hamfest empty handed!
