Willy is asking the kind of questions one asks when one really doesn't have a clue about a subject. This in itself is nothing to be ashamed of. I myself for instance have started collecting vintage radio's, so called tube radio's. I try and read the forums about these radio's but I can't understand a word of what these other collectors are talking about. If I would start asking questions or make remarks I would probably say really really stupid things because I really don't have a clue. In this case we are talking about someone who has subscribed using a name that reminds me of a former listmember called William Ahearn, a guy that truly had a brain. William made some enemies and it would not surprise me if one of these enemies wants to make William look bad by sending messages, using the Ahearn name, about a 20 Mhz SE that he wants to upgrade with a G3 processor and a CD drive, the lack of cables being the biggest problem. It's just a bit suspicious... If a normal non-geek person gets an SE he or she will probably put it somewhere on a table as a decorative object and would not wonder about upgrading the thing to a G3 with cd player. He or she wouldn't even know what a G3 is (a summit of world leaders? A mountain)? The fact that this non-geek Willy starts talking about G3's, grinders, ram upgrades and whatever also makes him look suspicious. I would not be surprised when Willy is just another yahoo-name from the likes of Nicolas, benjioak (turns up about every 6 months like an incurable rash) or that crazy Czech.
