I'm buying as many bulbs as I can. They will be worth millions some
day.

I really doubt it. The CFLs keep getting better and they are cheaper
to operate. Keeping your head in the sand is your option though. How
is that 8088 computer working for you? DOS makes it so simple to use.

Hey! Watch your mouth! I still have one of those over in the corner,
there. (Really need to light it up some day, and see if the hard drive
still spins...)

I have a original IBM PC AND a VCR, will make someone a real deal if
they want 1 or both


BAH! I own 2 working IBM PS/1 models. An Everex 286, a DEC terminal, a
working Sony Betamax and a working Atari 2600 so there neener neener



I have a Commodore 64 stored away.
But the earliest video game player I have stored away is a Magnavox
Odyssey video game console still in its original box
That was the one where a clear plastic sheet was placed over the TV
screen for various video games, like "Pong" and skiing.
Very primative compared to now, but real fun when first introduced back
in 1972.
