I'm not glad he's dead but he really screwed me over. I asked him to fix my HP 9100B which wasn't calculating transcendental functions correctly. He said he had never worked on one but he'd take a look at it and not charge me anything except postage if he couldn't fix it. I sent it to him and after a few weeks, he said that he gave up and that if I wanted it back I'd have to send him $500.00 plus postage to get it back. I reminded him of what he told me and he still refused to send it back. I couldn't afford the $500.00 so he kept it. A few years later I saw it on eBay where it sold for about $3000.00. I know it was mine since it had rubber legs added to the bottom which were unique to my unit (I had made the legs myself so I recognized them)
