Yeah, I just stopped by this afternoon (what traffic!), and I was
amazed at their chutzpah.  Pentium 200Mhz for 199.00?  Give me a
break.  But I found a couple of old goodies in their "bargain
bins".  That's kind of what I was after after all, an old IDE
controller/adapter for an ISA slot, for example.  And an old
ISA video card that will just work for a humble X display on an
old Pentium.   I just hate to throw away old junk when it can
actually work and do something.

I was at this restaurant.  The sign said "Breakfast
Anytime."  So I ordered French Toast in the
Rennaissance.
