Greetings!
I am an IT Director for a central Illinois school district and we recently
uncovered a Mathiputer while going through old boxes of electronics
equipment from the 70s and 80s. Do you have any info about the Mathiputer
or even if the company is still in business? We want to tinker with it and
give it to a teacher as a gift... and a joke.
Thanks much,
Chris Kruzic

There's a picture at the bottom of http://www.gateman.com/museum/v.html .
Is that what yours looks like?
It was previously mentioned on the list in May 2003:

A mailing list of classic computer collectors will probably
help you identify what it is, but they're not going to encourage
you to give it to someone as a joke... they'll want to see
it preserved and given to a good home...

If he wants to donate to a museum we would love to have it and will pick-up
the cost of shipping it.
