For his $50, Eric got an I^2 with 3 sleds, containing, repectively, a 2 gig
system drive, a DDS tape drive, and a CD-ROM drive.  Plus an external SCSI
floppy.  So, he could break the machine for parts and turn a tidy profit,
had he a mind to do such.

Of course, cars are like that, too, so I guess you're right.  It's not too
silly.  Just the market at work.
