Brian T Klug has balls, I'll give him that. Why else would he have bought a Discovery Channel CD-ROM (Windows 98) incorrectly priced on Amazon to the tune of $2,904,980,000 just to see what would happen?

I have one I would have sold him for 1.5 Billion.  ;D PLUS I would have thrown in some Windows 3.1 floppies.

OK ... let the bidding wars begin !

I have an original W98SE that I'll let go for a measly $1 billion.    ;D

They are quite tasty on toast.
