Free Stuff - Manchester UK

Hi Julian, I'd be very interested in this. I'm in Newport in South Wales, however I have family in Manchester, and my Dad works not far from Swansea so I'm sure we could work out a way of getting it to me. My website is http://www.micromuseum.co.uk Regards, Chris -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Julian Smith Sent: 24 June 2013 13:07 To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Free Stuff - Manchester UK I've been starting to trawlthrough my various big piles of miscellaneous / less interesting stuff that I haven't got round to doing anything with (or am ever likely to...) and have an Osborne 1a that did work ~6 years ago before it was consigned to a dark corner of the attic after an earlier clear out. From memory the monitor took ~20 seconds to warm up and work and there's also a missing key cap so it's far from a pristine, museum quality example. From my rather narrow perspective it isn't the most interesting or exciting of machines either. But it is free... Is anyone interested in it? If so, I'd prefer someone to come and pick it up rather than go through the effort of packing / shipping etc as I'm basically lazy and don't want to do much more than drag it downstairs and throw a disk in it to see if it still works. Collection may be possible from Bath / Swansea via one of my relatives if you can wait a month or two. Julian ----- No virus found in this message.
