New subject: Expiration dates for computers? (was Re: Unopened classic...)

14 Sep 1999

IMHO, the best possible use for a Mod II/12 and esp. for the external floppy
drive box, would be to make computer thieves have to carry it repeatedly up
and down the stairs of a multi story building! Then maybe they'd keep their
hands off other peoples property.  (Some idiot actually STOLE one of these,
way past it's useful date!!!)

 It would be interesting  to find out what something like that would bring
 on
 eBay.  You could list it with a very high reserve that would most likely
 never be met, just to see what something like that is now worth.

 We might be pleasantly surprised, or then again, we might find out that
 most
 people do not share our passion for old computers and you have only an
 interesting box of old stuff.  You pay shipping, :-(

 Anyway, keep us informed.

 Well, I have decided to let it be for now. I am
worried that there might  be
 critters (bugs) in there (through the hand-holes).
 I don't want to put  it
 on eBay because I am not out to make $$$.

All I need to find is a 3x3x3 glass box and a tank of nitrogen. (And a
borescope so I can look at it).
