Amazing, isn't it?  I have little expectation that any of my Pee-Cee 
systems will be operational in 10 years - nevermind 30.  The old stuff 
just keeps truckin'.

A friend of mine picked up an Osborne 1 for me at a garage sale ($5.00!). 
After blowing the dust out of the drives and cleaning and lubing the head 
slide-rails, it booted first shot.  This unit had probably spent 30 years 
in the corner of someone's basement.
