Eh, it will go for what it goes. Try and keep in mind how tough it was
to keep a 1010 running in 1995. Then add 30 years to that.
The thought of tracking down a bad flip flop on a thousand flip chip
boards really makes me think "yow".

I am surprised they have the estimated opening bids

them up.
I had selfishly hoped to see my donated mid-1980s Zenith PC clone and all of its
re-badged software (including Lotus 123 and MS Fortran and early DOS Word) included in one
of the clumped microcomputer collections, but alas it was not. Was probably chucked into a
rubbish bin for disposal a long time ago.
