If I were a few dollars richer, I'd grab at the chance to own a DG
machine (Nova/Eclipse - does anyone have the machine that was in 'soul
of a new machine'?).
If someone were getting rid of something like that in the Bay Area, I
have a station wagon to carry such stuff. But anything out of the Bay
Area is too difficult to get especially if it's really big.
