  Uhhhh...ahhh....a Cyber205? 8-) That's a VERY historically important
machine in my opinion.

  I'd been deleting these messages as yet-another-ebay-related-flame
but this message caught my attention. If there's a complete Cyber 205
in existence anywhere, I'd sure like to know about it. What is the
status of this machine? Is it available? Anybody know?
