On 10/01/02, Ethan Dicks scribbled:
At the Uni Surplus today, I spotted a lonely DEC 3000-300 with monitor
and cables marked $35. It was more than I wanted to spend on it, but
I hauled it over to the test table and plugged it all in. The monitor
isn't stable, but it did go through its power-on tests, all the way
to the "lazy sergant" prompt (>>>). It has 112MB of RAM and a 100MHz
CPU. I was about to put it back when the Surplus manager apologized
and said that she'd been meaning to mark it down. "$10 and it's
yours,"
so now it's mine.
Lucky bugger... :-P
