 pa> I started out, well no... my VERY FIRST computer was a DIGITAL CP/M
 pa> machine; back then I had no idea what CP/M was, nor how to use it... my
 pa> uncle worked at IBM WHQ in Hyde Park, NY... and he was like 'what the
 pa> hell have you got that machine for!?'. :P 

Cool!  I doubt I would have been interested in it back then either. I did
lust after a few business machines I'd see in catalogs, but generally if it
couldn't match a C64 in games I wasn't interested.

 pa> Oh, really? What have you to part with??? [Big eyes, lol.] I have a
 pa> couple systems I want to get my hands on one day - an Apple IIe like in
 pa> school; or similar or a retro Apple thats smarter to get into than an
 pa> Apple IIe. My all time lust machine would be an x68000 - omg... the
 pa> games they had when we were still on Wolfenstein. Lust.

I sold my IIe Platinum last year. While I did manage to focus on the TRS-80
Model 4 for a while, I tend to want any and every machine I can get my hands
on.  And get I did during the 90's and first decade of the 2000's while the
prices were low.  But now I'm going to stick with selling much more than I
buy.  But I'm still going to buy lol.  

What do I have to part with? Off the top of my head...Apple IIc, Atari 130XE,
tons of Timex Sinclear 1000's lol, an extra Model 4, the C128, a Tandy 1000
RL and boxes and boxes and boxes of peripherals and boxed/bindered software
for those systems and others (Atari ST for example) that I've already sold.

I really want to save up (via selling) for that 5160 and monitor!
