Give me a break Doug!!  I surely don't recall a COMP.SYS.APPLE.FORSALE
newsgroup around here!  Why is it that everytime someone is selling something
for the Apple, everyone gets all bent out of shape on it!!  In my opinion,
this is the APPLE news group, and what Harry posted was definitely Apple
related!!  This is not meant to be a flame, but it gets old seeing certain 
people rip into anyone who posts a message selling an old Apple //+ or some
software or something.
