Stopped in just on a lark, and listen to the wonderful deals to be had.
1) WebTV, console & keyboard, $49.99
2) IBM PC3270, apparently complete with docs, $49.99
And the deal of the day:
3) Gateway 4/66, box only, for the stunning price of (I kid you not) $149.99
#include obscene rant
#twice
And of course `We have a guy who prices stuff in the morning. I'll tell him
about it. I can't change it.'
I offered him $10 for the PC3270, but the odds of that price somehow getting
on it are somewhere between a-snowball's-chance-in-h#ll and none.
Maybe I should just move to Texas.

That's about the way one of the two local Goodwills is here in Battle
Creek, Michigan. Actually, I haven't found much of any computer stuff
at that particular Goodwill in the last few months.... I wonder if they
are turning it away or pitching it. I gave them a pair of monitors
awhile back, and never saw them on the sales floor. I suppose they
could have sold quickly, if they put a decent price on them.

Do that we would love to have you here (it's a big place). :-) Because the
webtv would have been $19.95 or less here. At Goodwill now most of their
CPU's are $12.99 everyday and all monitors no matter how big or small cost
$6.99. I see people with P-III's every time I go in, on Wednesday this guy
was testing a P-III 850 mhz tower that was only $12.99.
