    Getting a nostalgic urge to get the first computer I ever got. My wife has threatened to divorce me if I find one, but I'd really like to find one and relearn how to use it.

    I had an Osborne-1 I gave away. I sometimes miss it, but not enough to buy another one.

    Nice ...old school for sure. Don't have one of those, but was
    a fan of Heathkit back then. 8-Bit H-8, H-89, Z-80 CPU 2-Mhz
    or 4Mhz, Trionyx H-8, Hard Sector SS disks, Benton Harbor Basic,
    H-Dos, TTY ASR 33, Perf tape. Man days long ago. CPM, CPM-85,
    CPM-86, CCPM, MPM. Ran a BBS back then using ZCPR-3 (OS) Bye,
    PBBS, ran Fido mail, Hayes 1200 baud modem, Hayes Chrono for time
    sync. Learned assembly Language, back then, still have most of it, 5.25"
    disk drives, 8" disks, Corvus 20mb ext drive and the heath "boat anchor"
    10 Mb hard-disk. Then the H-100, Compupro S-100 system..8/16 bit system.
    Then expanded to crazyness, PCBoard 100 nodes, Dos & Desqview, Lantastic,
    USR Robotics HST modems (a rack full) oh well blast from the past.. still like
    the "C:\>" prompt, Move, Copy, Del, Ren, and all the batch files...
    And just think if Gary Kildall meet with IBM instead of Bill Gates what the outcome
    would of been.....thanks for the memories

    I ran a FidoNet node and was a gateway for UseNet. Served on the first board of IFNA during it's brief effort to organize the chaos. Thanks for the memories!

    Alright...Kinda thought some forgot about it.. 4 am mail runs, kinda miss it
    In PCBoard ran "doors" to the outside world, Inet. Remember back in those
    days if you did not know the IP address or how to use "Telnet / FTP" you were
    basically screwed, was none of this type in name like now. Netscape, etc..

    There's a couple on ebay right now.

    However, the old Compaq portables are a lot cheaper.
