It was thus said that the Great Bill Whitson once stated:
One step ahead of me already! When I was playing with the potential
ClassicCmp web site last night I set aside an area for a project like
this. If people are interested I'll be happy to collect and compile
listings and post them up. Be aware that 1. I am the world worst
HTML scripter and 2. I do all ClassicCmp work on my break. So, it
will be ugly and slowly put together ;).
This is just a suggestion, but you might want to add an availability
field, something like:
Limited - only a single run ever made, and then, not very
many. Connection Machines, Crays, and the Apple
I fall into this catagory. You will almost never
find one "in the wild" so to speak.
Rare - Only made for a year or so. Quite a bit were
made, but are hard to find. An Apple Lisa, or
Altair would fit this catagory.
Uncommon - the less popular machines of an era. Usually
have to hunt around, but persistence pays off.
Color computers, Coleco Adams and what not
fall into this catagory (IMHO).
Common - Fairly easy to find. Apple ][s, Amigas would be
here (again IMHO).
Abundant - the era of the PClone. Can't go to a thrift
store, auction, ham fest, etc without finding
hundreds if not thousands of old units. Mostly
noname brands.
