Humor is it's own reward, but sometimes there's money too. The Ginsu PC is now sold down to the last part; acknowlegements have been sent to all the high bidders. Two final items: A blushing *Thanks!* to all the people who liked the ads; never has my mailbox been so full of nice remarks. Glad you liked it. Financial results (lots of people asked "what did you get for X"): Combo card: $300 Original 7300 w/weird disk and 3b1 top/ps, OS 2.0 and manuals: $500 (note I got 5 offers in 12 hours at that price; should have asked more). OS 3.5.1 & Xeroxed manuals: $150.00 7300 top and monitor: $25.00 Everything else went for relatively small figures (even the 20MB disk sold, tho real cheap) but the grand total was $1060 -- well within reach of the $1200 I was originally asking, and far more than the $800 I was offered for the whole package. Many thanks to all, and I'm glad you liked the ads.
