wow, i never thought i would ever see one of these again. this was the first "computer" that i ever bought. complete with a DOS operating system. it was a glorified electric typewriter at best. and mostly an excersize in frustration and patience building.

it would have been priced about right if this was what it cost way back then. but i paid a whopping $100.00 for the dumb thing if memory serves me correctly. then i spent 3 days and about $30.00 building a huge plywood computer desk for it. 2 full sheets of plywood plus some scraps i had laying around. the internet was a baby back then. it seems to me i had to buy a modem and install it so i could use a dial up connection. there was one other guy at work that i could message back and fourth with.
