value of classic DEC machines?

Think again! The fellow that sold me my KL sold one to Paul Allen's organization for 30k$. Certainly he has more pocketchange in one of his pockets, than we make in a year... Perhaps you haven't heard of his computer museum - he's playing Noah - but trying to get at least one of every DEC machine made.. (he has two KLs, to my knowledge, one was free) Actually not. I know some suppliers that regularly supply 3K$+ PDP8 machines to dotcom windfall recipients - 3k$ is not that much for a pristine machine with a panel and lights and can actually do something. Perhaps the market hurt Allen a bit, but certainly not to worry about dropping a mere 100k$, especially through an NPO where is would be taxless. I doubt a typical home collector would spend that amount. No, I just wanted to add to the sillyness of a 2500$ Coco- want to buy mine ;) One mans facts are another man's myths... Regards, heinz
