I was looking through this month's and noticed several ads of the form: "WANTED: High school student seeks donation of {Commodore 64|Apple //| IBM pc} and peripherals for intellectual development, etc. Will pay postage...."

What do all you micro owners think about this? -- John Ruschmeyer ...!vax135!petsd!moncol!john Monmouth College W.
