Geez! Trade em some more modern hardware for what you want/need. I've
been giving away lots of Mac IICi's for the last 2 years now, since
the university here keeps throwing em away. Another department here
has been trying to sell mac IICi's for $15 each, and it doesnt look like
they are selling em at that price.

I dont have any TRS-80's in my collection (except one mutant model 4),
and if they have any REAL apple II's (ie, not a plus model, the real
integer basic II's), it would seem to be a nice trade.. I imagine
they would love a 486 system, or even a good 386, if all they have
are TRS-80's and Apple II series computers.
