Or... sell it on E-bilk as a vintage computer controlled microwave
oven used in the famed scientific discovery involving the CD Nuclear
Glow Test. Some sucker^H^H^H^H^H person with a high ratio of cash to
working brain cells seeking an investment just may purchase it iff you
ask enough for it, like some amount over US$50,000. Don't forget to
mention that this is also controlled by a classic piece of computing
technology... mention the microprocessor number in the ad and give a
few "impressive technical details."
