My Sister Has A Used IBM

When my sister told me that she had bought a used ibm computer at a garage sale, and it worked great, I laughed. I did not even know that ibm was still around, so this used ibm had to be like ten or twenty years old. I asked her how much she had paid for it and she said that she had gotten the used ibm and two used iseries servers for one hundred dollars.

I figured that she was a big girl and could throw away her money if she wanted to. I started getting lots of emails from her, since she finally had her used ibm to email me with. I told her to send me pictures of her garage sale finds. I figured that they would look like dinosaurs but the used ibm actually looked very good. The two used iseries servers even looked like they were in pretty good shape.

I printed off the pictures and was showing my co workers them when the computer guy from our office happened to see the picture of the iseries servers and told me that he could sell those for a whole lot more than my sister had paid for them. He did too; he got her a great profit on the two servers. She of course was not interested in selling her new used computer.
