My Commodore system is still up and running for the grand kids when they visit. I hate to think what I paid for it in 1985.

Wow! We bought ours in 1984. I remember how absolutely thrilled I was that I could print something.

Good luck, just my thoughts.

Wow, that brings back memories. In my first programming class we used TRS 80s, aka trash 80s.

I still have an Apple II+, an Apple IIGS and a Mac II that are boxed up.

I also have an Apple II User's Manual autographed by Steve Wozniak.

Does anyone think there is a market for these?

I bet you could get a pretty penny! There are people who collect just about anything. I remember I spent the big bucks and got one with a whole 20k hard drive. Never thought I could use that much memory. I used a word processing program called Volkswriter and printed my college papers on a daisy chain printer. I did my charts on a plotter. I was the queen of the pie charts, in color no less. Seems like a hundred years ago.

Remember this?

I just heard on the news today that 2.3 million people are still paying AOL for dial up service.

Look on EBAY for prices. I did no find buyers for my Commodore Amigas so recycled them when we moved down. Hated to part with them and hard drive and video sync that I used to title my videos I edited by copying from tape to tape. Now all done on Computer with Adobe Premiere Elemens. Also ditched a box that did video enhancments and wipes. So, So much. Still held on to CED and Laser discks and slides dating back to 1952 my father took. Have scanner and need to dupe more video VHS tapes to DVD, did not keep Cartrivision.

When I first started work on Computers, used punchcardsand mag tape.
