My husband's friend bought them from Ludlum for around $2,000. I hope that answers your questions.

Grace Murray Hopper in 1947 found moths between his relay points, which were causing the primitive computer to stop working. He sent word that his computer had been "debugged" and thus the term was born. Now the question is, why did your hubby believe there were ants in his computer? Did he spill sugar on it? As Sterling Archer would say, "That is how you get ant's, people!" while drinking a Green Russian, of course. <br />Thanks for your comment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880517909789826463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447338375440139753.post-65490924387945738872012-09-19T11:16:23.448-07:002012-09-19T11:16:23.448-07:00I don't have a radioactive story to share but ...I don't have a radioactive story to share but here is my hubby's latest adventure, which also took place in the garage. He completely took apart his laptop because a) he became convinced ants were inside, preventing his screen from illuminating, and b) he assumed that he could put the laptop back together since he tears down and reassembles cars. For the record, he was wrong on both counts. No ants. And sadly, no more laptop. Thanks for sharing your hubby's adventures! Makes me feel better about mine. :-)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775837506570616272noreply@blogger.com
