PC clones I can avoid without regret, its the S100 chassis that litter some
swapmeets I wonder about. Or for example one of my friends recently
scrapped for gold a bunch of older Sun spares (out of the sealed static
bags and padded boxes, and into the scrap bins). Lots of those 2900 series
chips in that batch.
