"Slim margin" sounds like it is coming from some of the kids who seem to think that making a profit on a sale is obscene. Doug, I think we need to help you out of your idealistic state. And always being willing to help, I, and I only do this to help you out, am willing to sell you, not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE original Altair computers. Just the computers? Nope, I'll even throw in the original docs. But wait, that is not all, if you act now, I will also throw in another well known S-100 computer (and this only because I know you), a working Compu-Pro 8/16 box. But wait again. We all know that the computers as described are almost useless and therefore I am willing to throw in not one, not two, but FOUR genuine Soroc terminals. And because I know Sam feels much the same way you do, I'll even include him in on this deal and let you two bid, er, decide who will get to take advantage this generous offer. Just think, you could be one of the few people who have more than one Altair computer. Now we all know that an offer like this cannot last for long, but again, only because I know you and Sam, I will extend this offer for one whole week. What is the price you ask? Well, I have always wanted to travel the world and see what kinds of computers are available in the lesser known parts of the world ... like Europe. And of course, spending money will be required. But just remember the old saying, if you have to ask how much it costs, you probably can't afford it!
