pardon?
I wouldn't call what he sells "obsolete". even "old" machines still have a
purpose. I have several here I have gotten from dave (and other sources)
iver the last few years that are part of an in-house cluster farm... You'd
be surprised at what can be done with a bunch of sub 300 Mhz Pentiums setup
in a cluster (A hell of a lot more than a single 1.8 Ghz machine with
winblows on it)..

Don't knock Dave. His is a useful, and somewhat needed, operation.
