To be honest I've gotten most of my stuff by leaving my number at small computer shops and asking them to call me if they pick up old junk in trade. Usually they either charge me $10 for anything they get or they just call me and ask me to haul it off before they junk it. >> Bill, If you happen to get anything for the TI, I'd be interested in purchasing it (like your $2.99 console for example!) Maybe you could contact me first to let me know what's in stock. That would be helpful. Bryan Nicalek bnicalek(a)aol.com
