Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6707 (ORPHAN COMPUTERS)

Hi Tom:
 
        Pardon me for jumping in here, but I just couldn't resist!  I had the 
predecessor to your little computer... the EL-5100 calculator by Sharp.  Tandy 
bought the rights to that little computer but it was made by Sharp... it had 
the exact same format as the EL-5100 in size, 23 character high contrast LCD, 
case design and layout except the little computer was a little bit thicker and 
had QUARTY keys without mathematical or second function keys.  My EL-5100 bit 
the dust years ago and like yourself I wish I could find another.  -=Robert=-
