Well, I wouldn't go that far.  But I have two peecee machines.

  Yes, I think the risk is low.  Even if they had
such a machine, they
 would, most likely, be embarrassed to state that to the group, 
:-)  I'm not embarrassed to say I have them.  After all, one of them is
the machine I've been trying to write a KA630 emulator on!  (The other
one exists principally to store my ripped-CD collection - as soon as I
buy a CD I rip it.) 
Hi der Mouse
 I'll have to admit that I have a couple as well. Still,
if something broke on one, I'd not have any ill feelings
about sending it off to the recycler and making a trip
to Fry's to replace it. It is just a toaster to me.
 I treasure some of my other machines.
