I was talking to my father about this. Back in the
late 80's-early 90's the
company he was working for had several *pallets* of these that were free for
the taking. Just about all of it wound up going to scrap -- nobody wanted
any of it.
Needless to say, he feels a little nauseous right now.
I'll bet there are many similar woeful stories.
<groan> Yes. We gave a mint Lisa 1 (w/10MB ProFile) to one of our
employees after selling off a business in the early 90's. Had all the
docs, Lisa Office, you name it. Worked fine. Cost about $10k when it was
purchased new (~1983).
We thought he was doing us a favor by taking it <g>.
