Anyone using Atari ST computers, I have a question?

Damn, I've never found anything cool in a thrift store. 5$ A600s and STs?? Must be nice... The most interesting things in our local thrift stores are old 5-disc carousel CD changers with greasy smears all over the fronts of them... (that, and the absolutely disgusting "thrift store" smell which makes you head for the shower immediately upon exit)

I get stuff all the time, you just have to go
 often enough, to get good stuff, I hit my local
 ones about twice a week, and some others about
  once per month.

I have an Intel/Play USB Microscope that I got for
 either 5 or 6 bucks, the 1040STE for $4.98, the
 A600, my VitaMix 3600 for $15.00 (this is the old
 Stainless steel model, I don't like the new ones).
 My bread Machine, and my electric rice cooker, a
 jet-Strem Oven (As seen on TV, these things work great!)

I don't go to the ones that smell bad either. There are
some that I have not set foot in since the first or second
time, for fear of catching something.

Yeah, unfortunately we don't have any decent thrift stores around here (they *all* smell really bad), or I would stop in more often. I think it's cool you scored an STe though... I've never owned an Atari myself, but I would probably pick up an STe if I came across one, at least to satisfy the curiosity factor.

I had a friend who owned one back in the early 90s, and I remember being somewhat impressed by it (IIRC, it had really nice sound).
