[ale] where to find older boxes

[Jeff Hubbs]

Hm.  At the Roswell Rd. Microseconds, they have some IBM PS/2 300GLs for 
$40 (P/166, IIRC) with P/200s for $50. I think this price is a bit high, 
and what you're seeing at Ginstar would seem to bear this out.

About the IBM 300GLs - I worked with those at a former employer and they 
stunk under Win98 or WinNT - networking was spotty, graphics were 
horrible - but under Linux they were rock solid and X worked just fine. 
  I had one wired up to a big Liebert UPS's serial port.
