Wah! The yahoos at the local Goodwills are such a$$holes, I routinely find
old XT-class computers, marked $29 on the CPU, again on the monitor, and as
often as not on the keyboard as well. And I don't mean one price for all--
I've asked. I can only recall two good deals on computers there. One was a
Apple IIgs w/ a transwarp for ~$80, and the other was a DECLaser 1152 with
<2k page count for $5. I got the DECLaser, not the Apple. Anyone have the
memory upgrade for a 1152?
