Stop complaining. I've offered these to list-followers at no cost above the
shipping, yet only one person's taken me up on that offer. Clearly, you guys
don't want the things. They're just so much hardware, not a litter of
puppies. I've got sense enough not to let my mongrel bitch out to roam when
she's in season, which happens to be the case right now, so I won't have this
sort of problem with puppies. I find that buying an Apple][ or IIe, which
have very similar PSU's, for the purpose of recycling the PSU is worth the $3
or so that the computer costs. I've got more 4116's than I ever wanted or
needed, and I don't use the old 1 MHz 6502 any more, though I have plenty.
Why should I clutter up my basement with hardware not even you guys want?

Can someone PLEASE turn down Dick's flame control?
Or at least send him a
SIGHUP?
Thanks.

'em in the dumpster and bring only the PSU in the house.
