Wow! Just received a RasterOps Paintboard Lightning that I bought for AU$20 (thats 10 bucks to our american contingent) on eBay. It turned up still shrinkwrapped in the original box, with the original pricetag... $1806.00!Just for fun I started adding up the original values of my 68k kit. The nearest I could estimate is somewhere above US$60k. Between shrewd eBaying and dumpster diving, this lot has cost me a cool US$200 (give or take). Now thats progress for ya! Cheers!
