   A Trash-80! My GF was going to throw hers out but I stuck it in a closet. Might be worth something someday. Does eBay have a section on electronic antiques?

   I also have a collection of ancient storage devices, including a stainless steel magnetic tape from a Univac III in the original box. Too bad nobody will ever know what’s recorded on it.

   12” monitors used to be HUGE. Trust me on this one. The TRS-80 might, indeed, be worth something someday. The day that the flying pigs drop the snowballs directly into Hell, probably.

   Somewhere I have a Radio Shack promotional comic book that compares Superman’s mathematical computing power to a TSR-80. I pull it out every once in a while for a good chuckle.

   Remember loading programs from a cassette tape? The first time I saved a few games onto a 5-inch floppy disk, I was amazed at the speed advantage…

   Here’s a link that mentions an Apple 1, made around 1975, valued at $40,000.00.
