I am posting this again to hopefully get more response. Right now we are collectively committed for 46 units of the Panasonic Hand Held Computers. I am hoping to at least double this figure. The more we want, the merrier for all. I'll include a little more information about these units. To those of you who have already submitted requests or have read this message, you can skip the rest of the message after my signature as you've seen it before. These units are a Panasonic HandHeld Computer circa 1984. They have a FORTH-like language in ROM called "SNAP". They have a built-in thermal printer. They have 8K of RAM running off a 6502 CPU. The custom-designed memory expansion tray which each comes with allows up to 10 additional 8K EPROMS along with the 3 that the HHC itself allows for. It has a 26 character by 1 line display, and its dimensions are 9" by 3.5". It has a full "qwerty" keyboard. Now please read the rest of the message for instructions on how to reserve 1, 2, 3 or more of these babies for yourself at a maximum price of $10 each.

In case its not obvious what's going on, I put in an offer of $10 each for 50, $9 each for 100, $8 each for 150, etc. I don't have $2000 lying around with which to buy them all up. I have a plan, but first read what Mike had to say: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 28 Jun 1997 10:39:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Mikeooo1(a)aol.com To: dastar(a)crl.com Subject: Re: EPROM Burners re: Classic Computers Dear Sam, I believe the total number of HHC's available will be about 400.Based on your offer I assume that for 150 of the units you would be willing to pay at the rate of $10 for the first 50,$9 for the next 50, $8 for the next 50 and $7 for the next 50 whcih would come to $1700 for 200 units.Would you be interested in 300 units for $2000 even?To make the offer even sweeter I'll throw in the memory expander trays with each unit.The cost for each tray alone was well over $100 when they were purchased,as well as a quantity of the MCM 68674 8K eprom chips that the programs were written on. As always Best Regards, Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ END FORWARD So here's my plan...anyone and everyone who is interested, reply to ME (do not reply to classiccmp! People will hate you and want to drown your pets!) telling me how many you want. Do this soon. I will save all of your e-mails and then at the end of say, 10 days I will tally up the total and make Mike an offer. So again... Reply to ME only (dastar(a)crl.com) Tell me HOW MANY of the Panasonic HandHeld Computers you want. Do it SOON. You have about 10 days. Price will be NO MORE THAN $10 EACH. I'll get back to everyone in 10 days or so.
