I should probably include 'please' and 'thank you' in my messages.
May I please have the 4P? Is tomorrow acceptable to you, for coming
to pick it up?
Thank you,
Josef with much chagrin.

Jim,
If you're willing to wait until tomorrow, I'd like to take a stab at
coming over and picking the 4P up. I live out in Bastrop way. Is
this all right with you?
Josef

There are two categories here.
The docs are claimed. The 4P is still available for anyone willing to pick
it up.
The next category is free, but *must* be picked
up at my house. If I
cared to spend the time to find a box and pack it properly, I'd put it on
ebay and get my $50 or whatever.
This is a TRS-80 4P in *great* shape. It has very little yellowing as it
has been in a leatherette carrying case for the past 20 years. I recently
took it apart and tweaked the trimmer cap so 80 column display mode is solid
again. Both drives work great, and I don't know of any defects.
It comes with an original in the binder TRSDOS 6.0.2 manual, a Montezuma
Micro CP/M manual, and about 100 floppies. Not all the floppies are usable
on this system; some came from model I systems, or were configured for
double sided drives (this machine has only single sided floppies, which was
the norm for the 4P).
