the small time shops here in nc don't have much, although i did find an apple
rgb monitor for a gs there. there's one goodwill close to me that used to get
plenty of old computers there, and even recent items, like an ncr ps/2 clone
and vga monitor for$30! they usually priced computers and monitors there for
$10 each, but they've raised the prices, probably because i'd go in there
every week and buy what i found interesting. they had a ps2 8580 in there a
while back for $75! i think some idiot actually bought it...
