I don't know; $5000 is a lot of money. That
sucks. I don't recognize
the new high bidder's name at all. The chances are that we'll never see
copies of those docs now.
The current high bidder is Bob Rosswell (sp?), the (current?) owner of
System Source, one of those PeeCee sales places that have been helping
Micro$oft screw the world... last I heard, several years ago, he was
setting up some sort of display of old computers or something like
that.
I'm very sorry to hear that the bidding's gone so high, and taken this
from something fun for hobbyists who will use, hack and
preserve the
system to a "museum piece" that those who will appreciate the
sytem
the most can't afford, which will probably see little, it any, use,
and no use at all once it stops working if it gets used at all. :-(
