I must admit, up until around the late '90's I used to be able to pick up 
bargains on on computer stuff in some of the less, shall we say, 
"salubrious" suburburban hock shops (mostly 8 bitters of all flavours), 
simply by pointing out that they couldn't run Windows (hey at least I was 
correct!), generally prices would then get marked down rather quickly :-) 
Mind you, even an XT can run Windows 1.01........

cheers,

Lance
