Stopped in just on a lark, and listen to the wonderful
deals to be had.
1) WebTV, console & keyboard, $49.99
2) IBM PC3270, apparently complete with docs, $49.99
And the deal of the day:
3) Gateway 4/66, box only, for the stunning price of (I kid you not) $149.99

And of course `We have a guy who prices stuff in the morning. I'll tell him
about it. I can't change it.'
I offered him $10 for the PC3270, but the odds of that price somehow getting
on it are somewhere between a-snowball's-chance-in-h#ll and none.
Maybe I should just move to Texas.

That's about the way one of the two local Goodwills is here in Battle
Creek, Michigan. Actually, I haven't found much of any computer stuff
at that particular Goodwill in the last few months.... I wonder if they
are turning it away or pitching it. I gave them a pair of monitors
awhile back, and never saw them on the sales floor. I suppose they
could have sold quickly, if they put a decent price on them.
