No, no, no. I think many people missed my point. I am not "in it for the

time required. Secondly, I started collecting for the same reason that
many/most of you did, for the love of tinkering and the machinery.
Well, I don't know about you guys, but I collect computers so I can meet
chicks!!
Oh yeah! They dig this stuff. Really!

So let me get this straight, if you had an opportunity
to buy an item
that is potentially worth $30000+ for only $1000 you would all pass
it up?
Hard to believe. Well I guess everyone else on this list is so rich that
the thought of making 30x profit is nothing. Me on the other hand, even
if I _hated_ Apple, wouldn't pass up such a bargain. >
Not everyone is in it for the money. This is a hobby, not a business. If
I were a broker sure I'd take it, but that's not what I do. I write
programs, I build controllers, I don't broker used equipment.
