Red, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.  Back when I worked for AI and they hadn't paid us for six months, I had to sell my beloved A3000T/CyberstormPPC 233/Cybervision system.  It paid the rent for a month :-(

Don't sell.  I still regret selling the T to this day!  I use this Mac every day, but don't enjoy any computer now like I did the 3000T.  Although I did/do get some enjoyment out of the Pegasos, it was very useful too, till the HDD and my tons of mp3s all went to silicon heaven :-(  It's such a pain to get MorphOS going, with the updates and all that.  It works great once you get it set up, I just haven't had the time to do so.  We'll see if MorphOS 2.0 fixes these woes, it is supposed to.

Now I'm getting all nostalgic for the fifty pound hunk of West Chester steel goodness, it was the main ship's computer when we lived in our bus.  I overclocked its CPU so I could play Quake faster, then spent a week playing it till the end which was kind of anti-climactic actually..

I had a X-surf NIC in it, an I/O Extender.  I used it to scan stuff in, Mac and PC don't have any simple, sturdy scan software which is the equal of Betascan.

Don't sell it.  There are other ways to make money.  Ride your bike to your job and save the gas money.  I have clients who ride  their bicycles to work, 20 and 30 miles one way, it can be done.  You'd be surprised how much a bike can carry :-)

I'll say it one more time..  Don't sell your 128 tower!!
