bah! sacrilege!
So you've got someone working for you, been working for you for years, and
you think it's more important to not commit the sacrilege of splitting up an
H960 and its feet, rather than to have to tell them they're fired, that they
have to go home and tell their spouse and kids that their parent doesn't have
a job any more? Excuse me if I don't agree.

Mmm, of your business depends on the value of a vintage computer. You should ask yourself
if your business can survive anyway.

Noel *has* my 11/34 ... and I sold another one a few years ago.
Fortunately there are still a few out there and many still run.

We know nothing of the business situation. small consulting firms are
notorious for having huge swings in cash flow. It may be that the
business in question really is dying, or they may have a monster sized
check "in the mail" from a client, and the owner just needs some cash
to get over the holiday.
A close relative of mine has a small consulting firm, and she goes
through periods of months with no money coming in, even with clients
owing her six figures in payments. Some clients (governments, mostly)
can take a year to pay!
