And dammit, I knew of someone who had a broken one and was trying to get

knew anyone who might want it. I said "I'll take it". He said, "No,
_really_, do you know anyone who would want it?". I said "Yeah, me" - no,
really.
That was when I was probably 13 or 14, and I hadn't yet collected any
systems (who could afford it?). Nor would I have known how to repair the
thing (still don't). Maybe I should try to find out what eventually DID
happen to the thing. I'm sure it's a landfill pancake by now, but you
never know.

I also
'always wanted' a CompuColor II, and finally found one last year,
it's REALLY rare. http://www.geocities.com/~compcloset/CompuColorII.htm
That's the one. I've found a couple of collectors who had them and
a few people who have worked with them but that's it. Yes, I'd
class those as rare.
