   Oops, I wasn't aware of you handle.   
      
   No hard feelings. It is all part of the game, sniping, dinking etc., but   
   - I think I'm entitled to whine though :-).   
      
   We should have decided beforehand who gets it but that wouldn't be fair   
   to Computer News 80. I was tempted to post a "this is mine" here but   
   that too wouldn't really be fair to Computer News 80. You came quite   
   close to my bid...   
      
   We also have QXL here, more normal for Norwegians but I absolutely   
   prefer how eBay works and their policies. One just have to decide what   
   one is willing to pay and bid that. I also have to be careful with   
   shipping costs so I don't get a big surprise.   
      
   Good luck with the next Model 4 hires. My need is satisfied with this one.
