The question is, just what is this? (And for those who were wondering, these people had a PS/2 Model 70 up for sale that went at a comparatively cheap $1.75... This showed up in the related items, and the price grabbed my attention.)

William Looks like some leftover from Roswell. Or maybe a SM-3UC Hand-Held Showerhead Massage w/ Chrome Accent ?!? Could also be something like a multiple extruder head. A line (polymer? copper?) is pushed or pulled through each hole and these lines are subsequently twisted or braided into multistranded cable. In short : I haven't got the foggiest idea . . . Jelte.

They hold several peta bytes of storage within a small volume of space, very fast as the cylinder/container the unit sites in is normally full of highly compressed air. The disk is forced from one end of the tube to the other at high speeds allowing for incredibly fast write and retrieval times as all the data is written and read from the gas molecules. Dont ask me how it manages to fine the write molecule to read or write, as that information hasnt been released in this time period.

William This thing looks like a big shower head. Who the heck would pay this kind of money for a shower head. And what gets me is that they don't describe it in the least.

You put it on top of a gas range to make the heat uniform. (Tongue in cheek). If so, its the kind of thing you can get in yard sales for a buck.
