Yep. My Dad had one about 10 years ago and is about to have another. I'd
prefer if he was the only member of the family to have one, thanks all the

Well, there are these very organized "swap meets" where you can buy new
computer bits at a good price and occasionally some older things (like
5.25" SCSI disks) but I've never seen anything interesting for sale. I'm
sure there are places where old computer gear is sold but I've never come
across one...
