AARGH... Just looked on e-bay. There are a large
number of pdp-8 items
listed by a single vendor. Looks like 1 or more /m systems has been
disassembled. Feel like I am watching humpty-dumpty, will the pieces ever
get back together again......
Yoiks! I guess if I _really_ needed one part, that's an easy way to get
one, but it's still pretty horrifying.
Perchance we could all start a mass e-mail campaign
against the seller......
What I'm curious about is who is 'di-sales'? They seem to have bid up
everything. They also ran up the price on a GIGI terminal I was bidding
on (it was at $5 when I found it). I let things go (the auction is about
to end) because I don't need one quite as badly as other people seem to
want it. All I really wanted it for was to run some of the GIGI-aware
apps from my TOPS-20 "box".
