If you get any Apple TAM boxes let me know. I like the early boxes
because of the time spent designing them to tell (sale) a story about
the machine inside and the company that made it. Most times today it's
brown or white plain box with very dull designs on it if at all. But any
early commodore, Pet, Apple and other boxes that you get and do not want
let me know. Thanks John
