20 of them just got trashed, but if you want a couple
I'll be stopping in
the shop later this week and if they have a new batch in I will pick you up
a couple. We can settle up after I get them. They also have alot of SE's,
512's, and sometimes the 128's. There is also a thrift store here that
sells all computers for 80 cents including taxes. Everyone has started going
here and it's getting harder to catch any good machines there. If anyone
reading this is looking for HP stuff let me know as I passed on a complete
HP3000 for $10.
That's amazing! 20 computers probably worth at least $25 each tossed in the
dumpster? What a waste! $500! Mac plusses are really still good machines. I
managed my business using Excel, Word and quicken on one until a couple years
ago (until I sold the business). The local shop here parts them out for repairs.
I did see our goodwill toss a Radio Shack Model 4P(??) and an Osborne the other
day alond with a pile of PC Jr's and Commodore stuff. I almost grabbed them
until I remembered I have a pile to get rid of and no time to play with them.
Every Friday they clean (dumpster) the electronics section.
