If there are any MCA collectors out there, I still have a whole pile
of cards I'm trying to give away... Free for the postage.
I'd love to have them, if only you weren't all the way over there.
Happy to send by surface post, at cost. It's not that bad - I
regularly send books to the USA via http://www.Bookmooch.com ! Costs
less than a decent 2nd-hand book costs to buy here in the UK. How much
used books are in 'Murca I don't know.

Tandy wasn't the only other company making MCA machines. ?NCR made quite
a
few different models. ?I believe Siemens made one or two as well.
