Welcome!
Well Chad, it varies a lot who has what in their collection.
Personally, I have micro collection like you do. There's not that much
space in my 1 br apartment, and micros are what I grew up with. To me, 80's
micros are /real/ computers.
I have a 2 bedroom apt, that is way too full with computer "junk". That
is one of the reasons I want to..... what's a good word, maybe refine?,
my collocation.
I think your Model 80 is cool because this micro
built like a tank and
weighs a ton reminds me of what the IBM corporation is like. The way the
insides are arranged is really Gothic.
This has always been a mystery to me, since I bought mine. Everyone
always talks about how heavy, and "built like a tank" these computers
are. I don't think mine is that heavy, maybe because I don't have dual
full height drives? I was expecting the case to be made from think
steel, but mine is some sort of plastic (composite?). That said, it is
currently one of my favorite computers :-)
