  There is a thrill in owning a system that used to cost megabucks

   That's one of the parts that I most enjoy. It's like a treasure hunt to
me and I enjoy the trill of discovery. That's why I have little respect for
people that want to do nothing but sit at their desk and buy off of E-bay.
And I have NO patience when they start whining and complaining about E-bay
prices!  If they don't like E-bay prices then get out and find their own
stuff!  There's plenty of it available.  For example, Friday I picked up
TEN FH 8" Shugart floppy drives in minty condition AND a HP 9835A AND a
Diablo RK-05 compatible disk drive. Cost = $0.00
