Last weekend I was at ole S.E. and found an iMac that everyone claimed was "dead". Unabashed by the claims made by everyone there and lured by the $10 "get it off our pallets, please" price (actually they like Macs there, they sell for a better price...) I took it home.

I went shopping at ole Surplus Exchange on Sat. and ran across some nice guys. Alex, who is well know in there, introduced me to Jack. Jack offered me a Sun SBUS frame buffer for my SS1000 for just $5. He'ss got an SS1000 too, so he knows what it's like to own a ~100lbs. computer. :coolmac: I called him tonight to see about picking it up, and he offered me an IBM P70 (17" workstation monitor for RS/6000s, etc.) for another $5. Wow. Back on Sat. Alex offered me a *FREE* 20" Sun monitor.

I've been sick for a couple days because I think I ate a bad piece of string cheese. At least we're getting the past two years of personal property taxes paid off and getting the car re-licensed.
