The X offer expires in, what, 3 days... time was of the essence to let
people know that windows are not the only thing available. I literally
had 2 minutes or less to get that posted or I wasn't going to be able to
post it at all for several hours. That's what you get when you are
sharing one dialup line among a whole class and trying to take notes at
the same time. So I was in a huge hurry to do it or it wasn't going to
get done.
That's how it's different. It was do it fast or not at all.

Again, that was the fastest way of getting the word out. I'm not sure
how I could have done it any faster, and I spent most of my time saying
NOT to bid on it. I would have pointed to an obsolete one but that was
the first one that had both in it and obsolete ones take a lot longer to
find (I already had the listing open because I was checking on how it
was doing)(
