Why are chip collectors so frowned upon on this mailing list? Do you guys
think us chip collectors are out here busting up Intelec's, Altairs, and
IMSAI's to get the chips out of them or something?
We are legitimate collectors just like you guys are.
Most "normal" people would say you guys are idiots
for preserving and collecting old computers and paying
2K+ for an old IMSAI 8080.
Give me a break.
Better yet, give me all those old "worthless" purple C8080A's you have
laying around. I'll give you
$1 ea. for them so you won't feel like you're taking advantage of an
"idiot".
