Dear Mr. Keys,
I saw today's article in the Pioneer Press about your collection of
"orphan"
computers. Thank God, someone is taking care of those
lost souls!
I am the proud(?) owner of an Osborne-1, that powerful (64K RAM), portable
(31 pounds), with advanced technology (300 baud modem and dual, 5.25
floppies/no hard drive). I've been keeping it in my basement, and
periodically, I pull it out just to see if it's still working. (Kind of
like
the old accordian player who tries to see if he still
remembers "Lady of
Spain.") Would you be interested in buying it from me at a sum
SIGNIFICANTLY
reduced from its original $1,895 price tag? Right now
I'm thinking $75,
but
I'll listen to an offer. I'll even throw in my
supply of 5.25 floppy
disks.
And I may (but I'm not sure) also have a 12 inch
external monitor I bought
when I almost went blind trying to read the Osborne screen.
Let me know if this interests you or if you know anyone who's just dying
to
have an Osborne. I'm located in Arden Hills and I
can meet you anywhere
that
is convenient to show it to you. Thanks... and good
luck with your
collection.
Lee Kaplan
