Paxton,
I'd like to have the books to go with my APC. (hint, hint!)

I think it is a little more than that. I really like
the original APC.
It was a very well made business computer. It was a crossover machine
that had both an 8085 CPU and an 8086 CPU. Can run 8 bit CPM and 16
bit CPM-86. You can also find MS-DOS 1.X and 2.X for it.
There were external 8 inch and or 5 1/4 inch hard drives available for it.
One of the first versions of Autocad ran on it. I have seen Autocad
1.0 on 8 inch floppy with one.
I would save a color one but not the monochrome. The keyboard might
have value to a collector as they were often lost or damaged.
I wish I was close enough to collect it. I think I still have a set of
books for one.
