The prices on ebay are going UP - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

4 Jun 2002

Actually, I'd prefer not to find a box included with
one of my discoveries... I have virtually no storage room left
for my systems, and cardboard boxes take up a _lot_ of
space. I would really prefer not to be put in the position
of throwing away something that I recognize might be of
some historical value, simply because I have to devote
my remaining space to systems, not packaging... (It
can definitely be a guilt trip ;-)

  I don't get it either. I have no interest in
cardboard boxes. 
 I _use_ my 
 classic computers, I don't keep them in boxes...  
 Well, I agree, but I'll say that I find original boxes, which 
 usually contain advertising material of the day, interesting
 in a historical side-note sort of context.  Certainly not 
 something to influence a purchase decision, but possibly an
 interesting bonus.
