dumpster diving and other sources of goodies

Hello, ladies and gents out there

I have found good stuff in the dollar bin at Computer Renaissance:

2 working monitors for my Amiga and a Tandberg 525meg tape backup

Price: $1.00 per

And I don't get dirty or smelly in the process.

And I also recommend going to hamfests -- amateur radio fleamarkets. Quite
a few guys get this stuff and try to peddle it for a couple bucks. My
favorite line is -- How badly do you want to take this boatanchor home??

At one hamfest I found 19 used DSDD 3.5" drives for $30. These are the
standard Amiga drive, but useless anywhere else.

Get snooping out there -- the used market is drying up fast due to the low
low cost of new stuff.
