Subj: REPLY TO MSG #559 (ORPHAN COMPUTERS)

Anton,
   
I doubt Apple IIs or Tandys will ever become collector items (too many were
made) since they're not "rare" or "hard to come by," but as you said, they do
maintain their value.  There are other computers which are "higher performance"
on the market today, but by the time you add in all the necessary software,
batteries and do-dads, their higher performance only leads to higer prices.
While I love the Mac I use for "serious" work and hate the MS-DOS machines I'm
surrounded by at work, for the buck and what I've already invested... I stick
with what I've got even though they are "ancient", that is more than three
years old.
   
Take it easy.  (I hope things are lot less stressful in your part of Europe now
that the nuclear threat seems less pressing.)
