The Series Two seems to be a combination of old and new design; I wouldn't
call it a classic. Value is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't think
you can compare the cost of the System Two to a similarly equipped PC. It is
a low-volume product, which means high component costs for Fischer-Freitas.
Did anyone else see the "new" Mark-8 kit sell on eBay recently? I think it
went for $1,600.

Yup, definitely. Off topic posts, rambling, and
arguments are what this
list
is all about. Something about computers too..........
Back to the computer part. I was on the IMSAI site (
http://www.imsai.net)
the other day, and noticed that they are selling the series 2 computers
now.
What differences do these models have compared to the
originals? Does the
price warrant buying them, or is it a ripoff?? Are they considered
"classic
computers", at least in the sense of this list?
