Three years ago I placed a small ad in our weekly shopping guide and
turned up about a hundred old computers of various types. After several
months I discontinued the ad because I was running out of space, the
computers were becoming of less interesting types, and although about 50
percent were no charge, the remainder were taking too big a bite out of my
old age pension. The effects are still lingering on, however, for this year
I have received several, including one Rainbow and a couple of Apple ][E's.
