The posting consists of a somewhat blurry but decent photo of the
unit from about 2 feet away, from an angle a bit behind where a
person would actually sit. The only odd thing in the photo is that there
are three non-standard toggle switches mounted on top (which I've
seen others do on other computers to add extra resets, change the
clock rate, whatever). There are a couple close-up shots showing
the computer name. Finally, there is this text (no other):
Exidy inc. no nothing else about computer.
I have had another exchange with the seller enumerating the reasons
why I feel ripped off and prodding him to share the pain with me.
His reply was, more or less, too bad. I'm sending a slightly more
pointed reply at this moment. He even suggested that I try to sell
it to the 2nd highest bidder. Sheesh. I suspect I won't make any more
progress this way, but I've got to try the civil route first before getting
more obnoxious.
