A rule of thumb I now go by: If you paid more than $50 for it and it still works, don't throw it out. Sell it or keep it, but don't throw it out.
May still need some work, possibly referencing original price rather than the price you paid, but I'm liking it so far.

Hello:
I am new to this listing, so please bear with me.
I have a couple of Apple II+ computers circa 1979-1980 - were working when shut down many years ago. Is there a market for these? or should I put in trash?
Thanks.

You know you're (I'm) a geek when you're interested in buying CD's with high
rez pix of naked computers <grin>.
I too would love to have a copy of the CD - I wonder if he'd entertain the
possibility of selling *that* on it's own...

Glen,
Attached is a ZIP file with two JPEG images that are scans of pages from the
Osborne 1 Technical Manual that relate to the PS and wiring. They might be
useful to you.

Okay, Joe, I get the hint ;>) I'll take a look at it this weekend -- should
be
a quick and easy fix.

Oops! This was not meant to go to the list, but if the images are useful to
anyone else ...

If you still have these, I would like to have them.
Please let me know.

Those binders usually had useful information in them. And at least there was
printed documentation, as opposed to today.
As to the software, I wold hardly call it "infantile." Limited, perhaps. But
remember what programs such as WordStar ran under (64KB RAM for CP/M and
program code). I had WordStar on one 90KB SSSD disk on my Osborne 1, and
could put 20 pages of text on another disk, and do real work. SuperCalc came
on another 90KB disk. Try to do that with MS bloatware.

Hmm...
In the '80s, almost everything came in small, tabbed 3-ring binders, and
were all quite funny to read! :) Does anyone remember Peach Text, Peach
Calc, WordStar or any of the other infantile office software? They all had
'em...
Cheers...
