I'm STILL looking for an 8/a and STILL can't
seem to get my hands on
one. I have the same problem with the Heath H-89...despite the fact that
they're not particularly rare or sought-after, and opportunities keep
popping up, they keep slipping through my fingers...sold or given to
someone else at the last minute, owner disappeared, etc etc. Very
frustrating.
I'm not that good to write in english today (sometimes my mind lock up,
go figure) but I'll tell you a funny history: I took almot two years to
have...A mouse :)
When I got my first XT, I had the power supply (caseless), the
HD/controller, the motherboard and the CGA video board. Had no monitor (I
used an old tv. rsrsrs), no floppy and no case for the computer. In some
months, I got a 286 with coprocessor board and I wanted to run autocad,
needed a mouse. So I went to buy a genius mouse (it was a very common mouse
in Brazil that times) that came inside a 5 1/4 plastic disk box :) But EVERY
TIME I got a mouse, something happened that I couldn't buy the mouse, or if
I had bought it, I had to sell to buy something else for the computer keep
working. It took me almost two entire years to get a mouse as a gift from my
boss and have it working on my PC :) "some strange forces didn't want me to
have a mouse" hahahahahaha
It happens. Even with SH before the IT ;)
