more COSMAC stuff

To the group, I was intending to just send this to Tom but as I posted to the group instead, I just wanted to say this. We are all trying to find these systems and after speaking to several on their intentions and efforts, you can tell where each person focuses their energies and what they want to achieve. More than a few of you have websites, virtual museums, and a few, the real variety (usually housed somewhere out of the way, cost issues, always). I don't have a great deal of money, but like all of you I do the best I can. It takes alot of time and patience. This is an area I focus on, but I'm not the only one. I think systems should go the homes that treat them best, much like children. If there is someone better, then I gladly cede to them. Didn't want to come off being arrogant, and apologize if that's how it did. Wasn't my intent. In 20 years, what will be left if we do nothing? I would like to open a real museum around here, a goal but it will take time and money, the one is in supply the other always short. I figure, that if people can't see it, in some type of meaningful manner, interact with it, they won't appreciate it. Anyway, if the Cosmac goes elsewhere, then just have to wait for the next one. One day, I will find an APF Imagination Machine. I already wrote on this but it got me into the career that I am in today. First system I ever saw. Personal thing, but I always get the feeling I may never have a chance to find the system, fearing this is the last one that is coming down the pike. I know that's not true, but that's the fear, isn't it? The Elf's by the way, were the second system I came upone, specifically the Cosmac, still remember the advertisements. Back then it seemed computers had all the excitement and potential, and the challenge. Not like today's 'appliances' in the stores and over the top hype. Anyway, thanks for reading, Kurt
