old computers

On the other hand, this particular Marvin (not the one we're used to) is a) probably a CPA and thus perhaps not truly computer literate (why else would he be dumping perfectly good 486's?) and b) not subscribed to the list, so unless you BCC'ed him, he didn't get it. (Probably wouldn't get it anyway.) Keep in mind, folks, that the list is echoed to a web site. If someone does a search on, say, "Altair", they're going to find several of the pages with list messages. They'll then send a message to the address listed (the list) asking how much their Altair is worth, or what have you. Probably without checking the date, btw, which is why we occasionally see messages like "I see you are searching for a rare commodore 64 power supply; I can sell you one for $199 plus shipping" when no one's been looking for a C PS for months. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
