Apparently the bidders disagree. I'm not a magazine collector, myself. The 197x's Kilobaud and Byte, etc, mag's go into the dumpster as they surface ... I do give them to folks who ask for them when they're here, so I'm sure they'll take 'em.

Yeah, you're right. I guess I'll just have to hang on to mine. Make great conversation pieces when I exhibit at the library or at schools. After being nailed one too many times by snipers, I learned my lesson and now won't bid at all until 10 seconds to go. It sucks for the guy that loses, but that guy was me one time too often....
