Christmas in August
#7

Thanks, guys.

The 37-690 is my college graduation present to myself. The summer semester ends Wednesday, and I will then have completed the requirements for my associate degree in IT.

I received an unexpected tax refund this year, and I determined to use it to get myself something nice when I finished college. While I originally had intentions of finding a 38-690, my friend y2k Bruce offered to sell me this 37-690 at a reasonable price, and I agreed to buy it.

The 19X is sort of an extra added bonus. Someone joined the Phorum early this year long enough to put the 19X in the For Sale or Trade section, and I bought it. The seller was from Minnesota but was moving to Illinois to continue his college studies, and it just so happened that he had to go through the town where Bruce lives. So he dropped the 19X off with Bruce, and I ended up with both.

I made room for the 37-690 by giving away a 41-610 radio-phonograph which I decided that I no longer wanted. I'll just have to find a place to put the 19X.
