I've been starting to trawlthrough my various big piles of miscellaneous / less
interesting stuff that I haven't got round to doing anything with (or am ever likely
to...) and have an Osborne 1a that did work ~6 years ago before it was consigned to a dark
corner of the attic after an earlier clear out. From memory the monitor took ~20 seconds
to warm up and work and there's also a missing key cap so it's far from a
pristine, museum quality example. From my rather narrow perspective it isn't the most
interesting or exciting of machines either. But it is free...
Is anyone interested in it? If so, I'd prefer someone to come and pick it up rather
than go through the effort of packing / shipping etc as I'm basically lazy and
don't want to do much more than drag it downstairs and throw a disk in it to see if it
still works.
Collection may be possible from Bath / Swansea via one of my relatives if you can wait a
month or two.
