I admit that these usually change hands for $5 to $10 or the cost of copying, whichever is higher, but the commerce is flourishing. Then on a very different level, there's the market for original distribution software, such as WordStar 1.x-2.x, dBASE II for CP/M, early Multiplan, etc. which if mint and complete are offered at $50 to $150. I cannot prove, but I would bet, that there are already "forgeries" of things like Apple I cassette BASIC and Micro-Soft black paper tapes. And....what price an original set of Apple I manuals? __________________________________________ Kip Crosby engine(a)chac.org http://www.chac.org/index.html Computer History Association of California
