harrumph; typical clueless non-computer type that thinks any old computer is
worth plenty. there's a guy at an established flea market that tries to get
the same price out of old machines. i bought a northgate 386/20 from a guy at
work and even got the great northgate keyboard too for only $20!
heh, you oughta go back to the guy and ask him if he'd be willing to buy
comparable 386 and 486 models for half his asking price. i could find some
pretty cheap machines and make profit off him!
