Very cool.
Another goldmine is the kid who gets tons of vintage
gear from
who knows
where and their parents make them get rid of it all after the
house gets
overrun. I see that happen way too often in the mac croud.
That's horribly disheartening. I'm glad my parents recognized
the fact
that it'd be better for the house to be full of equipment that
they didn't
recognize than have me out selling/doing drugs like everyone else
in my
school. The fun part was wheeling the empty
H960 rack down the street when I moved into my first college
apartment.
That must've made a helluva racket! (ahem!)
