Umm, I used to chalk this up to karmic balance...You know, too many good
deals, so it's gotta swing the other way occasionally :(  Of course, the
free hardware thing is always nice, except when you're in serious geek mode
and end up taking all comers just because you can't bear to see something
trashed.  The skelton of a VAXstation II/GPX I just finally trashed was a
good example of this...

Seriously, I'd be willing to bet *everybody* on this list knows this
feeling...Except maybe that guy that is getting a V2250 :)
