Can anybody tell me what an IBM Executary is? To describe it briefly (I
didn't have much time to look at it), it is a small box, blue on the bottom
with a dial on the front, a few knobs/switches here and there, and a very
large hole in the side. Connected to it is a pedal of sorts. Push on the
right and it clicks, same with the left. Can anybody tell me what it is? Is
it worth $6?
Thanks,
Tom

Sounds like a dictation machine to me.

New subject: Finally, a Next Computer
I finally added a Next machine to the collection. A model N1200, it came
with color monitor, speaker, keyboard, and mouse. A friend of mine saw two
of them out at the University for $100 each and picked up both, one for him
and one for me!!! Seems to work, but so far, no docs or additional software
aside from what was installed on the machine. The only downside is the
University engraved "UCSB MCL" on each piece of the system. Oh well, at
least I have a working Next!

Congrats. They are neat units.
I just added a NeXT 'Cube' with printer to the collection (now I just need
to get a monitor ordered so I can fire it up).
Something just too appropriate about a computer that really is a big black
box! B^}

I've been looking at getting a NeXT, but the price of the OS and
Development tools is downright frightening--US$5,000, IIRC? Geez. I wonder
if they will ever make collector's license available?
