Hey if your lazy like me you will find places on the net to mailorder
anything and have it dropped off at your house for cheaper then what you can
buy it new with tax at the store. I would die without www.google.com.
On a side note does anybody else get the feeling that UPS, USPS, and FEDEX
love EBAY because of all the $1.99 treasures you find there that cost $5-XXX
or more for shipping to get it to your house?
I have found many retro computer bargains on ebay where a large percentage
of the total purchase price was in shipping.
