A greyer area is the following: I bought a Tan-case
Osborne 1 early on.
Later, I had it upgraded with the 52/80/104 column display option and
double density disk controller. As a "collector", does one remove the
upgrades and have an "original" O1 (and it was used in the original
configuration for quite some time), or keep the mods and have a fuller
representation of the product's lifetime? Personally, I would keep the
mods.
Me too. They're part of its history. I don't see how the machine would
be better represented in its "factory" condition than in the condition it
was in when it was last used.
