- Wake up at stupid o'clock!
- See tons of neat stuff!
- Reeeeally test the limits of your self-control when it comes to said neat stuff following you home!
It really hurt to not ask about these Sony SVHS decks. A lot. And that was *before* I got home and looked up what they go for...
A Compaq Portable III. I really want one of these someday. This one is in decent shape other than some dirt and the keyboard cable housing disintegrating (common). Plus only $60. I'm an idiot and didn't buy it. I hope you did.
This was pretty wild. A prototype HP-18C calculator with snazzy clear plastics.
Care for some refreshments? It's from 1985, but there's no 'best by' date, so it must still be okay.
I didn't realize there was WordPerfect for the Apple II. Looked like all of the documentation was in there, but sadly it only had backup copies of the original disks included.
And finally, Xerox presents: "Music to Revolutionize the Computer Interface To"
On clear blue vinyl, at that. Surprising for 1976.
John Quentin Heywood@screambiogenesis Yep. I had it. Also, WordPerfect for NeXT
@jqheywood Found this on Wikipedia:

WordPerfect got *around*. I doubt there are many software packages that have been distributed both on reel-to-reel tape and via an app store.
myrmepropagandistI'm so glad I didn't see this in the trash my husband would be so mad when I brought it home.
@futurebird Oh, if it were in the trash, it'd be with me right now, lack of space or sufficient knowledge be damned. The ImageWriter, too.
Yeah. He'd just have to be mad. Love is a compromise.
@futurebird It's healthy to be able to experience and work through a range of emotions. Just like it's healthy to have a pen plotter.
