Fun article ;)
I'm just curious - have any of you (with the possible exception of the
apple I) ever seen anyone selling these models at these prices much less
purchased one for so much? Do any of these warrant such a price for
you? $400 for an Apple II? $300 for an Osborne? I bought an Apple II+
with 3 Disk IIs, color monitor, and box of accessories for $50 -
in 1988!
I get nervous when journalists start quoting prices on old computers.
There are still a number of machines I want in my collection - but
only if I can continue to find them for $5. Maybe I'm just nuts ;).
