OUCH!  Pretty harsh.  Anyway, for the last time to all you sellers of 
'obsolete' systems.  Check the market (magazines, paper, etc.).  You can get 
new 486DX33 COMPLETE systems for >$800, 386DX33 COMPLETE for >$500, etc, etc, 
etc,  I'm talking about NEW systems with monitor, complete.  Don't ask me 
"where?  I've never seen it...blah...blah...blah"  because I don't give a 
sh$t.  Of course it is your choice to ask for whatever amount you want, but 
please keep current of the market and be realistic.  Otherwise, you get flames 
like the one above ;^)
                        (Just some friendly words and advice.)
