For those of you who have more money than you know what to do with (after
buying a Mac of course), here is a product that you may be interested in.
Personally, I think this is humorous, but never knock down a capitalist at
work...

I also do custom work (Mac II, peripherals, etc) and am interested in trading
for equipment. Tell me what you want and make me an offer. I also do consulting
in this area. Marble Mac SE cases start at $1400. References available.
