It's likely that Sellam's just experiencing
the twinge of envy that you feel
yourself, since these are folks who've carved out a niche for themselves,
allowing them to play with stuff that's donated under the aegis of a
computer museum and getting paid for it.
Remember too, that Sellam's a competitor of theirs and probably resents
their "advantage" in falling under the broad umbrella of a charitable
organization, donations to which are well known to be tax-deductible.
What are you talking about? What "competition" do they present for me?
I'm not in the business of taking in old computers, refurbishing them, and
then selling them to use the money for poor folk.
I have over 1,200 computers in my collection. I get my share, trust me.
I don't feel any "twinge of envy".
If you'd been paying attention--something I know you rarely do, if
ever--you'd have understood the point I was trying to make, Dick.
