eBay prices have gotten silly. Sellers seem a lot more willing to sit on items for years hoping they get 4-5x what something should sell for rather than moving volume these days. It's odd psychology when you know a lot of it just gets scrapped eventually when it never sells. There is an ebay

Hi Chris. It's been quite a while. Those are the numbers I have for John last as well. He stopped responding to me over 10 years ago but I'm not sure if that was because he was tired of me or just tired (I was going through a phase myself and pissed off some friends inadvertently). But around

Not really sure I want to get rid of them yet, but what do Apple II's go for nowadays? I have an Apple II with 2 Disk II's and a language card. I also have an Apple IIe with three external disk cards and 2 3.5" drives and 3 5.25" drives. It also has a Microsoft Soft Card for running CP/M.

[cctalk] Re: oscilloscopes

This 'scope clock also uses circle generators rather than vectors to produce well-formed characters. It mentions a Teensy controller so I don't think it's the original made in this way - the first I heard of was too long ago for that. But I don't know if it's an update or a separate design.
