Yowzers!  In case anyone wonders... the IBM Academic Solution Offering for a
PS/2 Model 55SX is available to any and all college students, faculty, and
staff.  It's a 55SX with an 8515 monitor (14", capable of 1,024x768), DOS,
Windows, Word for Windows, Excel for Windows, ZSoft SoftType for Windows,
hDC Windows Express, hDC Windows MicroApps, a mouse, 2M of memory, the 60M
drive.... all for $2,799 brand new with a one-year warantee, and they'll
even give you one year on-site (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, FOUR hour
response time!) for another fifty bucks.  Why would one spend $3,500 for a
similar used one?

Some days I think maybe I'm the insane one and the world is just fine.
