   I really don't have any good idea what to ask for this stuff in
terms of prices, so make me an offer. All the books are in very good
to excellent condition (no damage, no highlighting or underscoring,
etc.). I'll be accepting bids or offers until March 1, 1998.

   First, I'd prefer to sell it all together, all at once, to save
myself multiple boxes for shipping. However, I'll *consider* selling
sections to people who really want it. Ideally, the person who gets
the Kaypro computers should also get the manuals to go with them.

   Second, I'd prefer to sell the set to someone who can pick them up
here in Chicago, or who will pay for shipping. If you're involved with
a church or nonprofit helps organization (or a bona-fide CP/M museum),
leave me your phone number or e-mail address even if you can't afford
to buy them. If nobody is interested, I'll contact you.

   Feel free to copy or repost this message in other "for-sale" areas
that would be relevant to CP/M, Z80, ZCPR, or Kaypro hardware.

  "Perfect Writer on the other hand, because it is written in 'C',
  will not become obsolete, but will easily accompany advances in
  computer hardware through the year 2000, at least. This means
  that if you upgrade your computer hardware in the coming years,
  you can be safely assured that:
    * Your text files will still be usable.
    * You will not need to purchase a new word processor.
    * You will not need to learn a new word processor."
