the first computer we had at home had 16k ram and lemme tell you, when my parents upgraded it to 48k, hoo boy
the main reason i'm posting this is that i spent too long failing to come up with a decent pun involving a staple gun and a coaxial cable
That's just as good as when I got to upgrade from cassette tapes to floppy disks, for data storage. It was like heaven. No more rewinding.:)

Heh I still have my Dad's Kayrpro 4 luggable CP/M computer, (64k and two 5.25" floppy drives).

It's actually the only 80s machine in my collection, which is kind of sad, I'm hoping to find a good deal on a 286 desktop, preferably a Leading Edge or something like that, if I can find one. Tons of 90s machines, though.

I'm restoring a 1991 ZEOS 386 laptop (also my Dad's), it needs a new backlight but I'm going to try to fix the original inverter before using a new LED version. I'm saving up for a new soldering/rework station.

Got any need for 2 Panasonic Toughbooks? Ex-police machines but, real salvage. That said, there are enough parts between the two to make one working laptop. You pay shipping and they're yours.:)

You might have a to wait a little while, I have two invoices out that people haven't paid me for yet. I should have it before the end of the month. I'm Turking tonight so I can get gas in a couple of days. :)

Pictures? Also What kind of shipping? We can start a conversation if you'd like.

Edit: No, I have no *need* for more old computers, but if one appears I tend to leap at it if I can. :)

I don't have a Mac Plus, but I do have an LC and *3* Power Computing Mac clones, and an 8500 in pieces all over my couch.

I get a decent amount of stuff I clean and restore.
