|    IBM PS/2    |
|    01 Oct 18 10:37:05    |
      Hi all,       I have an IBM PS/2 Model 30 286, which I know isn't a popular computer among       retro enthusiats, and I ask you, why? I know it was a commercial failure back       in its day, because IBM got greedy and decided to make everybody pay royalties       to them to develop new hardware for the machines. But I happened upon the thing       for $10 at a garage sale, and I'm not really a wealthy collector. I'm not       wealthy, period. :) And my particular model has ISA slots, so there's some       flexibility there.              But what I'd like to know is what people have against the PS/2 these days. I       mean, they sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay, so they must be worth       something to somebody. I've toyed with the idea of selling the thing, but as it       happens, I've formed a strong emotional attachment to it, like my mom did with       an antique sewing machine that she affectionately referred to as "Bessie." But       that's another story... for another day.       --- SBBSecho 3.03-Win32        * Origin: Telnet://valhalla.synchro.net - Richmond, Virginia (1:275/93)    |
