I would sell my MSFT stock for this system 8-) however it is no clear,
at least not to me, if you will get also the tapes and some bootable
disks in order to run the whole system or you will end up with just
a bunch of GE hardware.

If onybody is considering the saving I will support it if I will get
an eternal account ......
