I wish you guys would list want you are looking for more often as I had
to just trash over 50 Apple II, IIe, and related items like ext. floppy
drive, printers, and monitors. Some times I come across a shit load of
stuff that I can not use or save for the trash. If I see your want/wish
list I can email you when something comes up. I see the IIc+ around
here and in St. Louis, MO all the time but I already have three working
units. They sell for around $2 to $10 without a monitor.

I collect whatever file://c's I can find for cheap because I'm
standardizing on
them as my VCF utility terminal of choice (for taking
attendee
registration information, keeping books at the consignment table,
etc).
They're nice and self-contained, only needing a
display (//c+'s would
be
much nicer but they're harder to come across). I
have around 10
file://c's and
2 file://c+'s.
I also take whatever free file://e's I get my hands on. They'll come
in
handy
for something someday (maybe when Hans finishes the
C64 super-computer
project we can do one with Apples :)
