Then of course there was the Causin SoftStrip reader.
The Apple magazine
Nibble (among others) used to print strips about 5/8" wide that you could
cut out and run through the reader to load the published programs into
your computer instead of typing in listings.
As with all the others, it hung around for a year or so and then folded.
People just didn't like the concept I suppose, or maybe it just wasn't
accurate enough (I don't know since I never actually used it).
Thanks to Kai's generosity I finally fulfilled my lifelong quest to obtain
a SoftStrip reader at the VCF. I am complete.
Now that Sam is complete, who else wants one? How much is it worth?
(Yes, I know that it'll bring K$ on ebay, and that on this list somebody
bought one at a garage sale for 5 cents that had a dozen hundred dollar
bills folded up inside of it :-)
Are the old Kilobauds worth anything?
Old Bytes? 80 Micro?
How about the issues of PC magazine that are more than 10 years old?
