I plan to use this forum for my "good" stuff, but I won't bore you
with the drek, it will go to Ebay.
I'd rather find an audience focused on the product, than throw it
first out into the pond where you all, and the other possible Classic
computer users would not find it.
My friend got a "miss-listed" 129 keypunch off ebay because in the
100,000+ listings he had not described it so you guys could find it.
with a smaller group of more interesting listings (eventually) one can
scan 100% of the listings of interest, rather than 30+ pages of 100
bits of drek on ebay.
Plus, hopefully someone will not tell me to mail on bogus letterhead
to Maxtor for a "sample" 160GB drive using a made up name, and
charge me $5 to tell me that. probably 10% of the listings on ebay
currently are that crap (though not in the vintage category).
