[rescue] Re: NeXT cube question

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

Speaking of Next stuff... look at what this moron is doing...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2732613729&category=4610

he has two of these listed on ebay right now....

If anyone needs some spare next parts, this might be the right guy to
e-mail (well, if you need a cpu board anyway).

blech...

the guy who runs blackholeinc has put his personal blog on the site. Go to the 
'about' link on the main page to access it as it follows from the FAQ. Like most 
blogs, it consists of page after page of rambling drivel - though it does give 
some insight into the author. He is clearly derranged.
