The 960B is the only computer I ever walked away from

It took 20 minutes to load the loader, and, then, if I got that right,
20 minutes to load the editor, and *then* I could start doing work.
This would be my exact setup ;-)
I have the 960B (without software :-(( ) and a Silent 700 ASR with
cassette unit. A real beauty!
I just can't believe that no other system with software has survived. But
apparently, this system is much rarer (and much more interesting) than an
Apple 1 ;-))
