Sound for who? The bastards that are looting their companies and their
Republican pals, that's who!
I seem to recall that most of the bastards donated pretty much equal amounts
of money to both sides of the aisle.
No, not true. The real big bastards like Ken Lay donated overwhelmingly to the
Republicans. They donated some to the Democrats just so that they could say that they
supported them but the Democrats main contributors have always been wealthy non-business
individuals, LAWYERS, and labor unions and their members.
Lets keep the politics out of it and
get back to old, cranky, computers.
Sorry but losing nearly $1,000,000 in mine and my wife's retirement accounts tends
to make me bitter!
I did manage to pick up a dual trace Tektronix RM-503 scope on ebay for
$49.99 today :-D
I've been picking up some good bargains on E-bay lately but the local surplus
market is getting to be just about non-existant. Most of the local surplus companies are
having a tough time finding ANYTHING much less anything worth while. If this is happening
all over the country, and I expect that it is, I expect that it will soon affect the
amount and quality of stuff showing up on E-bay. Fortunately(?) I probably have enough
junk around here to keep me occupied for the next 20 years!
