Re[: Collectable PCs

I ran some service calls on Columbia pc's around 1987. As I was raised in the Washington, DC suburbs (Silver Spring, Maryland) and had been to Columbia, Maryland (which is located halfway between Washington and Baltimore many times, I was surprised when reading the documentation of the pc which stated it was made in Columbia, Maryland. Several years later I needed to order a replacement motherboard and discovered they had moved to Florida.
