My very first computer. An artist friend had one first. With the click of the mouse, he changed Helvetica into Times Roman….10 point into 12 point…it was a miracle. The price was an astonishing $2500 including a dot matric image writer and an external port. Just 1 meg of memory, a small 6″x9″ screen, and oh yes, only a black and white image. This was cutting edge. At the time a black and white laser printer was $6000. Too steep for my pocket. The year, 1986. Though I stopped using it around 1995. Time to sell it don’t you think!

Makes me nuts to look at this as I owned the same computer that I got in 1985. For some reason, my computers are one of the only things that I didn’t save. I guess not only because they took up so much room but because I would replace them because they got so frustrating to use. But I, as you, started very early. And I updated frequently and got all of the latest gadgets. So had I saved everything I would have had quite the history of the personal computer.
I don’t think you should sell it if at all possible. It’s literally the computer that started the revolution among the public.
I can hear the sound of that keyboard now. Back when the keys made a huge plunk.
