I'm thinking this righly belongs in the humour forum....


It also, I note, comes with the extremely rare "floopy disks" developed only for this model.

Here's a picture of floopy disks, note how similar to 3.5" disks they are :

Hmmmm... Sounds so much like Flooby (http://airship.home.mchsi.com/flooby.htm), I wonder if he'll sue? That show-biz has-been is sure to stick his stalks into anything that will turn a buck.

Wow... there was some serious yellowing going on with that 128D...  If it works, though, someone got a good deal...  only $50.26!  :)

If it's busted... well, not such a good deal then...

There was a free C128DCR at today's TOGA meeting.  It looked to be in very good condition (well, the keys were mottled, i.e. some were yellowed and others were not yellowed).  I let another TOGA member grab it (along with the boxed C64, boxed VIC-20, and boxed monitor).  Yes, there is a limit to my storage!  ;-)

          Must pay for another year of storage,

That's how you get people to show up for meetings, right Robert? ;)
