Computer Garage Sale

[Squish]

On a behavior level I would think a trend of being jaded would set in
whenever seeing signs with the words "computer" and "garage sale" on it. How
many 9-pin printers, 386 Packard Bells, and Mac SEs can you see before you
see that sign on the light pole at an intersection and say "SCREW IT!"
