One thing that I saw in the /. messages mentioned prototypes. I never
thought of prototypes as being particularly valuable, like the
wire-wrapped prototype of the PERQ-3B 8MB memory board that I have.
It's probably not worth much, as few people know what a PERQ is;
however, I don't care what it is or isn't worth, as it's just
interesting and may have some possible future use, even if I have to
modify it (ok, I said the 'm' word, but shouldn't things be used
whenever possible?) to make it work with something that isn't a
PERQ-3B.
