My comment wasn't directed at you; someone
giving something away (or
even selling it) is certainly free to set their own conditions. I was
just laughing (hysterically) at the whining of "it's so biiiiiiiiiiig!"
for a small tabletop tape drive. It's a one-man lift...It's not like
it's a friggin' TU78!
Not sure if you are indicating that I am one of the whiners, but I would
just like to point out that different people have different amounts of
space to dedicate to this hobby, and what may be tiny in your books, may
not be so for others. If you have the space then that is fine, but please
don't laugh hysterically at those not as fortunate as yourself.
That was not my intention. I'm just trying to put things into
perspective here. It is not a large device. It's a tabletop box. I
have trouble envisioning a situation in which someone can't find space
for that.
