"Robert E. Watts" wrote in message ... http://cgi.ebay.com/Packard-Bell-Leg...QQcmdZViewItem Wow ! Legions of fans will be jumping all over this one ! bobwatts At that price I doubt there will be any bids... I see a lot of old machines on ebay with high prices... don't think any of them ever got a bid. My best sale was to a guy here in town who wrote some of his own code many years ago...only to find that none of his stuff worked on the faster CPU's... so when his old machine died...he could not use his own custom programs. he told me he wrote it such a long time ago, he'd never be able to recall what he did or figure out how to go back and re-write it. I gave him a 486 I had... but he would not take it without paying me. That was a few years ago...and I still don't have that entire $10 bill spent yet G

Hello "philo" !
Don't forget, and I recently mentioned, a Packard Bell sold "Buy it Now" for $3100 dollars last year. Repeat, $3100. Insane. And that Bob Watt guy looks just like me ! I don't have such a modern telephone though, still using the good 'ol wall thing with wind up crank. bobwatts ®™© -- boBWatts®© EartH Watts Carburetion Service Whizzbang Computers Official collector of: transfat asian plastic junk trinkets !

And that Bob Watt guy looks just like me ! I don't have such a modern telephone though, still using the good 'ol wall thing with wind up crank. bobwatts ®T© If I had the money there would be a few things I'd gladly "overpay" for. As to phones. I do have a few crank phones in the house... they are wired up as an intercom system between the basement, and first and second floors. I missed the days of the crank phone as I was born in 1949... but do recall as a kid, just picking up the phone and telling the operator the number I wanted. One day I came home from school and my mother showed me that we now had a dial phone and I could dial the number instead. I was a bit confused as I did not see how that was an improvement. That reminds me of something now. A few years back, but not that long ago really... certainly within the last ten years... I got a side job doing some minor electrical work (such as replacing a few lamp switches) in the home of a very wealthy art collector. I read in the paper where he had donated millions of dollars. Anyway...in the guy's study...he still had a dial phone! Good enough I guess.
