HP 21mx computers For Sale

Hey guys, I was a regular poster and reader on the list many years ago. During that time, I collected a few HP computers and Tape drives and a bunch of other "junk". Well the time has come for me to unload some of the equipment and I'd really like it to go to someone that has an

I doubt it is for hobbyists. I think it is to get people to look at it for the upsell opportunity. And why are people writing ‘UniSys’? Speaking as someone who was there during the merger, it is ‘Unisys’. alan > On Jul 1, 2020, at 06:18, Michael Kerpan via cctalk > wrote: > > This thread
