    It's funny that you ask this. My wife's uncle just gave me issue #1 of
PC World and issues 2 and 3 of PC Magazine. I'd really like to get my hands
on PCMag issue #1! He also gave me a late-model original PC *with*
theexpansion box (which I understand is a relatively rare item).

    Anyway, he was a sales rep for IBM for the PC product, and he kept all
sorts of stuff in his attic. I guess that every summer, his wife makes him
clean up a little more. I'd say go to garage sales, or put an add in the
local newspaper. There's a juy who advertises every month in Nuts & Volts,
that he collects pre-1980 equipment, mags, etc. Maybe try the same.

    Anyway, who knows what else he has up there. I've asked him to save a
copy of the IBM songbook for me <g>.
