fair enough
but my point then and now..was that paying so high a price for the Eyeball would
only be regretted later because it was not a rare computer and in time you would
regret it..

of course if you only wanted that one computer and did not go on to take up
collecting then i agree..but knowing what you know now..you can see it was
overpaying

if you want something as a "one shot deal"and are fortunate enough to be able to
pay any price for it..then go for it..more power too you
