I'm not normally much on the wishlist thing but if anyone out there is overcome with the desire to blow a few thousand bucks on me? Get me this. I can't even begin to express how much I want this object.

Wait, that's a lie. I can easily express how much I want this object: less than five thousand dollars worth of want. I gotta say, this whole "money" concept is a very clever invention.

Now THAT is awesome. I can't believe one is actually on the market- figure all the war museums would have claimed them long ago...

Nice.

This is what I want. (Although I'd prefer a better computer as its base than a 1988 Mac SE.)

What is it? I follow that link and get an eBay page telling me "Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country."

How novel. You appear to live in Germany.

It's an original German Enigma machine, restored. It is beautiful. It does not, alas, run TCP/IP.

Oooh... very cool...

But now I'm wondering when Florida got annexed by Germany?!

I'm getting the same access denied page that foxmagic got. And you *know* where I live. :-)

... when'd you move to Florida?

I was only half-kidding about the Germany thing. EBay blocks access to auctions of German WWII memorabilia because it's against the law to buy such things in Germany. I suspect that the seller is getting away with it because it's not a Nazi Party item per se, since he lives in Germany as well.

Why EBay thinks you're in Germany -- bad sysadmins?

The Enigma machine isn't cool unless you have the Enigma X rotors. And if you have the Enigma X rotors theres a msueum in Britain that wants to talk to you.
