The bad news is I found a System/36 model 5362
(complete) for $50 at a
thrift in Houston and I paid the folks for it and asked if I could pick
it up the next day as I would need a truck to carry it. They said ok
and when I came back to pick it up someone had trashed the machine by
taking out 5 cards and breaking them up on the floor next to the unit.
I asked the store manager to adjusted the price I had paid for it but
they said I had purchased it "AS IS" and said it was not trashed when I
purchased it the day before. They did agree to lower the price on a Mac
145B powerbook that I found sitting on the shelf there as a way to
settle my problem. I have never had anything like this happen before.
Wow, that *sucks*. Sounds like somebody needs some broken fingers.
Sorry to hear that, man.
