Way to much. While that's a nice looking computer (I have a fondness for
lunchbox style "portables") it is "worthless" in that you won't be able to
run a "modern" OS on it. Offer to free up the wasted space it's
occupying. :)

Flame preventer: I know that one could do a lot of useful work/play with
this computer (DOS, wordstar, kermit, telemate, Zork, Pirates!). It
probably runs Xenix and Minix pretty well.
