I don't think so.  I saw a picture of them, and they looked like a complete set 
for everyone.  I think I saw some Wallstreets.  I went to a give away like 
that. But you could take all you want.  I should have had another person to 
guard my stash. I put my name on them and stacked them, and when I came back, I 
guy was carrying two MORE of my stack. I told him, to put them back, and he 
became quite timid. I am not a nice guy when it comes to my stuff.  

But these were in piles every where, so everyone grabbed some ZIP drives. I 
grabbed about 10, and then opened up a horn box where all the power supplies 
were. I put them in my stack.  Idiots took the  Zip Drives home without power 
drives.  Also, got a bunch of 2500 and 1200 Stylewriters. Still use them. 
Refill and use. I'm not paying big bucks for  ink, when I can take my pictures 
to WalMart and get pictures cheaper than the cost of the ink.  Generally, 
though, they just pile stuff up, but these iBooks were setting on tables with 
proper accessories.

THis was a big topic on the swap list. I wonder how many actually went over 
there and bought one.
