Errr, here in O-hi-a the XT clones start at about $50 and go up from there,
more if it has options like a keyboard or monitor. All those d_at_mn pig
farmers driving up the prices. In any case, most/all of the achines were
freebies so I don't want to spend too much on 'em. Also, what if the parts
box I picked up had a workign install on it? I'd need to get a parts box to
strip to strip the parts box... Everyone's got a deep, dark secret. At
least I don't have to hide in my basement with mine. Um. Well. Ok, but
the point is that I don't *have* to, I'm just there because that's where the
computers are. ^_^
