Subject: Kim-1 Computer
Anyone have any idea what the Kim-1 computers are
selling for? An
acquaintance of mine died and his wife told me that he had one with Serial
Number 1. I will be meeting with her to take a look at what he left
behind. Unfortunately, it sounds like quite a bit of stuff has already been
thrown away, but I will be going over tomorrow to do "dumpster diving"
through the recycling bins she has. I am really going to be popular with my
wife :)!
I haven't seen one sell for a while. I have two, and both were donated to me.
One was used by one of the co-authors of "The First Book of KIM". He would
first try the program listings and then he would hook it up to a friend's Selectric
to print the listings that appeared in the book. Quick 'n' dirty
typesetting.......
