I was figuring that when lawn mowing, when it came time to collect the money he’d say “that’s ten dollars, but if you have any old Macs around, I’ll take them in trade”.
The lawnmower story sounds better, but donations make more sense. There was a time when I either got old computers or were offered them, so I could have had ä decent collection of home computers in general. I do have some, plus the ones I bought new. But I was looking for something better, rather than collecting. So by the time I found that Mac II at a garage sale for five dollars, I’d lost interest…
I have been seeing local ads for “older” computers, recently, people putting a premium price on tem, promoting them as collector items. I’m not sure some of them were rare enough for the prices.
