The point of whoever posted the complaint originally
was more of the lines
of "300$ or it goes to goodwill".
I got the point the first time, thanks; he could also have read it as: "I
need to get rid of the following items and would like $xxx; if no one is
prepared to make an offer that's worth my while I'll donate them to
charity."
As Richard says, if you want 'em and are prepared to pick them up, make an
offer; Landon's not a committed generous collector, he's a dealer with a
dubious rep, and IMO the prices are actually reasonable by ebay standards.
If not, move on; don't waste time bitching because you don't like Landon and
his prices or Goodwill's policies, think he *should* be prepared to ship
and/or break them down for parts, etc. etc.
They're PCs and Macs, not Kenbaks or PDP-6s...
But bitching at/about other people is what this list is largely about these
days, alas...

Yes.
I am giving the Vintage Computer Forum another look - and I like what
I see. There seems to finally be a nice critical mass of people
interested in stuff I am interested in as well, and it is so much
easier to ignore topics that bore me.
And SO much less noise.

It has an RSS feed that you can use to read without visiting the web site
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/external.php
at present I mostly use this interface from my mobile to read when on
the move

Hmmmm. Interesting question. If not, I suppose you could do some magic
and create a relay.
