Check your local flea markets. You might find yourself amazed at how many flea markets have a couple of stands full of hard drives, RAM, keyboards, components and CD-Rom drives. I picked up a 21" sun monitor at one for 40 bucks, complete with a 13W3 connector. I also bought a CD-Rom that didn't work, but I was able to run back in time to return it. It's certainly buyer beware, but I've found everything from Vic-20's to C64's to Pentium II's - and all for sale at cut rate deals.
And don't get me started on how many Macintosh Performa's there are out there.

fuckslashdot.org is still available. And no, I don't have the nerve to reserve it and point it to goatse.
Yeah, I did the same thing. I've still got the OpenBSD on Sparc stuck in read-only mode, which I was unable to correct in such short time. Hopefully I'll have time to play with it in the next few days. I was tired of RH6.0, although it's certainly adequate. People are often going to want the newest kernel and packages.
That's because WWIV sucks, completely and totally.
Sorry, couldn't resist one last jab in the BBS software wars. I ran Renegade, and although I called a few BBSes that ran WWIV, I really didn't like it much.

Was this post serious? I'm having a really hard time telling.
