Though he got some of his from me, so it may have been indirectly one of my machines... If it were mine, and I'd given it to you, I'd have no objection to your selling it for as much as you can possibly get for it. My theory is, the more value it acquires (by somebody paying for it) the less likely it will be to get scrapped, hence the more likely it'll be to be preserved. On the other hand, I *know* you are a knowledgeable collector and know which end of the soldering iron gets hot without having to grab it, so I'm happy it's in your hands. One reason for me to take this philosophy is that I don't have time to do myself the things I'd really like to do with my collection - like imaging floppies! I have 'em, but not imaged. They are in climate-controlled storage - that's the best I can say for myself. I'll hunt for mice. I don't think I kept a spare, but if I did, I'll let you know. -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.
