Went to PC Museum + Got some goods.

I recently discovered that there is a PC Museum about 1.5 Hours drive from where I live, which is open once a month.
Some photos will give you an idea what it looks like here: http://www.pcmuseum.ca/galleryview.asp?id=25
They had at least 45 Systems up and running, everything from Pong, Amigas, C64, Tandy's, Sinclairs you name it.
I met and talked to the founder Syd Bolton. Most of us dream about doing something like this, he went ahead and did it.
A lot of PC and Console stuff were being sold, Like XBOX's and PS2 for $20 each. I picked up a C64, C128, 1571 and 2 x 1541-II which I'd never seen before. Now I own a C128 which I always wanted to but couldnt afford, all except the 1541-II's came in their original boxes and manuals in excellent shape.
The 1571 still has the original sticker price of $499!!! Wow!!
now I remember why I had a datasette for a long time instead of a 1541 drive.
