Yea, since I had no idea about CP/M, the only software included in that DIGITAL computer was like system how-to disks, some demos of system stuff and - basically NOTHING. Without even a modem, or any way to get useful software it basically just got me excited about the THOUGHT of computers. I went thru those demo and system disks many times, tho. :P Lol... Wish I'd of kept it as I got into BBSing straightaway on the IBM machines. I could have found good CP/M software, I'm sure.

Wow - the Tandy 1000 RL was almost exactly that first computer Mom & Dad got me. :P Back then the Tandy graphics were even a bit better than the earlier IBM machines - I might want to own one again. 

The Apple IIc, tho... hmmm which model is that? Shipping is such a crap shoot anyway; and as you stated, current prices are like - stupid. Nice machines you listed, tho. Where are you located? I'm in Portland, OR area.
