Good Evening. The private computer collection of famed Computer Antiquarian and collector Craig McLean has remained hidden and inaccessible for to long. Therefore the collection will be opened for public viewing and public sale starting immediately. The collection includes a variety of pieces from the middle dot com era and early dot bomb era. It includes complete systems desktops and laptops, and a large number of fragments. I'm open to offers on it all.
Some items of note in the collection. Toshiba Pentium 100 laptop. 24MB of RAM, 750MB hard drive, 800x600 8 bit lcd display. Includes spare system board, and a Megahertz combo ethernet modem card (modem is a hardware one, not winmodem). This is an almost mint condition piece from the early dot com era. $75 Compaq Pentium 133 laptop, 50MB of RAM 1.3 GB hard drive, 1024x768 16bit lcd display. The battery for this piece is no longer extent and is believed lost in the great Retro Systems crash of 2003, 2004. $75 The next item is the centre piece of the collection. Once owned by famed open source developer and philosopher aseigo, and loveling restored by reknowned computer antiquarian Craig McLean. It is believed this piece was used by the master himself in the early development of the KDE project, and other projects and software now lost to us all (rumours persist of a systems managment tool of great power, years beyond its time, we can only look upon this piece and wonder what may have been). It is a Toshiba celeron 400 laptop, 128MB, 1024x768 16 bit lcd, built in modem, the hard drive for this piece is no longer extent. It comes with a spare keyboard and two batteries. $200 The next piece is a desktop Pentium 166, 32MB RAM, 1GB hard drive, 2 Network cards (one intel 10/100, and one 3com 10 only), keyboard and mouse, this piece was known to have been used as a firewall piece in the early dot bomb era. This piece would be ideal for the entry level collector. This piece is in good shape. $15 Another desktop Pentium 100, 32MB RAM, 420MB hard drive, keyboard and mouse. Kinda rough shape still works $10 Our final system is from the tribe of the Sun. A mysterious civilization that collapsed. Some say that they still exist all around us quiety working away who knows? The piece is a dual processor Sun SPARC 10, with 128MB of RAM I believe. 2GB hard drive, 19inch monitor, keyboard and mouse. Onboard ethernet and ISDN. I can't remember what the graphics card is, but you can run X on it, and it is colour. $50 1 HP ethernet print server. $10 1 3com 56K pcmcia modem. $10 1 Asus Pentium II mobo and Pentium II 350Mhz cartridge. $15 1 AT case with power supply. $5 A large pile of assorted fragments including motherboards, and cards of all kinds. Mosty Pentium and 486 class. You can come and rummage or make me an offer on the pile. I'll be letting it go cheap.
