Does anyone out there read the Unclassified Ads in BYTE magazine?
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...."

Does anyone know anyone who ever got a system this way? Do these people
really think that someone is going to send them a $1000+ computer for just
the cost of postage?

What do all you micro owners think about this?
