While out junking at lunch I met a gent who said he has a Grid Laptop
with a metal case (he said this model went to the moon) and uses
bubble memory. He said he'd entertain selling it but I've no idea what
to offer. Any ideas on what to offer or any info on this laptop? I'd
appreciate and info.
Thanks,
Marty

The first GRiD was made in 1982, and I don't think we've been to the moon
since a bit before that. However, several models of GRiDs were used in
the space shuttle. Find out which model it is, first. The early models
are pretty hard to find (I think less than 10,000 were made).
If you're thinking of paying Real Money (TM), let me sell you one of mine!

Here's an image every GRiD collector should copy. A GRiD Compass used on
STS 51-G with a picture of Spock on the screen:

Put this picture in your ebay ad, and watch the price skyrocket! (BTW,
I've never seen an original Compass offered on ebay, but one sold for $700
in a "normal" auction a couple of years ago.)

Are you sure that's Spock on the screen? It looks like a rendering of the
dude in the picture to me.
