Sam, I forked out $300 for the transparent Mac

That's a good price relative to epay prices for sure. I offered him $200
myself, but he wouldn't budge. BTW, on any given day, Sam's state could
be described as "jumping up and down in anger", so he was probably
uneffected by the loss :-)
I've been collecting for about 8 years (I know,
that makes
me a Newbie :) ) I've been hitting the Foothills College
swap meet for 5 or 6 years, but now there is too much
competition. 3 years ago, I was able to pick up an IMSAI
8080 chasis with cards for only $5, and all the S-100's
I could load into my truck. Now I can't find anything.
I've been collecting about a year, and I'd have to agree with you: AVOID
FOOTHILL. But that flea market down the street from Sam is a treasure
trove....
