So, why am I not getting any bites on the machines? Time of year?
Economy? Priced too high? Aliens? Everyone already has one?
Hmm, I did take
note of the VT220, but it's absolutely the worst time
of year for me - several family birthdays, Christmas gifts, huge
winter heating bills etc.; it gets a lot better come March or April.
I haven't had to turn on the heat yet this winter because of my
machines... don't know if that should be bothering me or not.
Hmm, we have about 15kW of electric heat in the house - I wouldn't mind
replacing that with something vintage. The only downside is that its supply
is load-controlled by the power company, so subject to dropping out without
warning. I suppose I could aim for something with core memory and no
flying-head drives :-)
