Its exacte wat I think hapened - the APPLE /// (no plus!) was
the most prominent device on the big table. I think he was the
only thing close to a PC in their eyes (An APPLE // 'tower' with
two Profile Harddisks, Monitor /// and an external Disk /// drive).
I think it will be sold on some kind of fleamarket. They also
destroyed some stuff, opened two originaly packed Atari 400,
trashed an Enterprise. They also took a prototype BTX telephone
unit an various small stuff - including almost all of my C64
and VC20 cartridges. Also one of the PETs is gone (an ordinary
4016) and, thats the funiest thing, the CRT of a Sirus - only
the CRT the computer and the stand is still available.
I'm very happy that they didn't know what was laying in front
of them - they took none of the KIMs or the other ols single
boarders, non of the real devices like SWTP or Heatkit.
My problem is that I should monitor now all major flea markts,
but I'm leaving for the VCF this saturday :(
Gruss
