Used cd rom for $5. Needed a start switch and they found one. I said
how much. He said $2. I took out a twenty, because all I had was a
twenty and a one. He took the $1 and said, next time...
This must be the place where Compaqs go to die. Bins of MB's for a
dollar each. Probably are dicey, but folks buy them for parts. I'm sure
places like this have been around for years, but I didn't need one
until now. "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." When
the shopper is ready, the merchant will appear...? Transcendent
capitalism? Cheers

zZero,

Sounds like you've found a winner there.
