Maybe not astronomical, but most of the systems
I'm interested in,
anyways, are almost always outside my price range.
...
it's not 'astronomical' just out of reach.
Look at old cars. There's a whole range, from $15M Ferraris on down. The
existence of cars are higher prices doesn't stop lots of people from enjoying
lower-priced ones.
I completely fail to see why old computers should be any different. Can
everyone afford a Ferrari? No. Has this seriously damaged old car collecting?
Doesn't see to have.

For those who are bidding on the twiggy drives, you can have a Lisa 1
faceplate here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/222262204758 and a matching
Lisa 1 mouse here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172360487433
These are a little on the expensive side too :)

Hells, he's still trying to flog that mouse for $3K. We've picked that one
apart a few times here :)

re: www.ebay.com/itm/172360487433
I have a Lisa 1 mouse here in better
shape, and far lower serial #008439.
That ebay seller is asking a mere $3000
plus -- let's not forget -- $9 shipping
(greedy f**k!).
So if I list mine at $2000 with *** FREE
*** shipping, is that a good deal for
someone? lol
