Yeah, this guy had 40 or 50 apple 2Es, 15 2GSs that I
could see, maybe 20 or
30 mac LCs, etc. ?I have two 2GSs and two Amiga 2000s, etc. ?I can see
easily ending up with a couple dozen or more examples of certain machines
that I'd like to have, plus a spare or two, or even several identical
models, but with different configurations. ?Beyond that, I have to question
why one person would need all of these without extenuating circumstances,
like trying to start a retro computer business, or maybe for a museum or
something (who knows, maybe he is). ?As it it, it appears that it's only
serving to keep a large number of machines out of circulation.
Oh, please...
The hundred (several hundred?) Apple machines that man has is not even
making a tiny dent in the supply, if he really is trying to keep
machines out of circulation. Most of what he has is incredibly common.
So common, that when I get (most) Apple machines during my business
dealings, I tend to scrap them.
OK, if they were Apple 3s or Lisas - a couple hundred might make a dent.
