At the risk of hijacking this thread...Is it just me or do the ethics of
dumping a known bad system on an unsuspecting purchaser just not pass
the smell test? Sure it's the expedient thing to do, but consider the
impact if you're on the wrong end of the transaction. I prefer to sell
on e-bay "as is--for parts" -- I may not get quite as much, but neither
my conscience nor my reputation suffer from it.
