IBM PS/2-25 for sale at Purdue
  w/ 20 Meg Hardcard, 1200 baud ext. modem, & Epson printer

	I'm looking to get rid of my PS/2-25 at the end of this semester.
It has always been in good working order, I'm just looking for something
more powerful in the near future, and I'm not getting much use out of
it now.  It's been used for dialup to Purdue's computers for the most part.

	It's in pretty good shape, a little dust here and there.  It's
never had any problems, not even with the used Hardcard.  I've been
told by friends in the computer-repair business that it's the most
reliable model of PS/2's.  Unfortunately, it's also the least powerful.
8086 processor inside.

	If you've never seen one before, it's kinda like those old Macintoshes,
in that the monitor is built right into the body of the machine.  It's
got a really funky shape.  I believe IBM discontinued making these
a while ago. (oooh, collector's item...)

	There's also a 1200 baud modem and a printer.

	If you need more details, just drop me a line.  Best offer that
I can live with runs with the stuff.  I'm willing to sell the items
piece-by-piece, if necessary.  If you're not in the Purdue area,
or the Columbus, OH area (where I go when I'm not at Purdue) we'll have
to work something out for shipping.
