Extremely. To my knowledge (and I've searched
far and wide - including
outside the US), I have the only known HP2000 TSB systems running. I do
know of one other collector who is fairly close to getting one up though,
last I talked to him.
What Jay doesn't say is that he's been hoarding the systems, and really
has a warehouse full of them, and is putting them on eBay at $5-10k each
just for dkdkk to bid on. ;)
J/K, but Jay, it's amazing that only 2-3 of those machines still exist.
No museums have any of those? (Or, are there others, just not in a
runable state?)
