I don't know if there's any pattern to what I will shell out for. I
wouldn't pay much for Mt. Drash, Akalbeth or a shrinkwrapped 'saucer'
box. I just can't see myself doing anything with them other than
putting them on a shelf.
I've tried the "Pokemon" strategy (gotta catch/get them all) i
1) Yes I'd like to see it
2) Is it the original code or is it annotated disassembly made by
someone else?
I'll have to look for that ZIL code too...

know, but gotta try.)
