Well, it was a little bit disappointing for me. _NO_ old Radio Shack
equipment, no old AT&T Unix PC stuff, and I wanted to find a Sinclair
or two. I saw a few machines in the Apple II and C-64 categories,
but I've never been big on the 6502. So my main acquisitions were a
Sun Sparc 4/360 Unix system for $400, since I have a definite nitch
for that in my little network, and a Motorola 6820 which I have no
idea yet as to its contents, but at five dollars ($5.00) for a 100lb+
VMEbus box, I was willing to take a flyer. It's got to run at least
_something_ related to Unix or OS-9. (Oh, and I got a free PC/AT
which I'll be building into a word processor for a friend of my
fiance). I also bought a new P133 notebook, but that doesn't cut any
ice around this mailing list of course.
Guess I'll actually have to start haunting the thrift stores.
