    Expensive old Apple

    BBC News - First Apple computer fetches £130,000 at auction

    Can't be many of those about any more.

    Come to that there weren't many of them about in the first place.

    "Ready to use out of the box" as long as you had a keyboard & monitor handy.

    I am beginning to regret I gave my Spectrum and QLs to a bloke I know who collects old computers. And my 110cps teletype modem.

    PS Come to think of it, I dont think it typed at 110cps, maybe it was 110V.

      I think you'll find it was 110 baud IIRC

      I don't see any day when Spectrums and QLs will be worth a jot. I've sold older rarer computers than those on ebay for a pittance.

        I've got a ZX+ sitting around - is it worth anything?

                    Plug it into your "Mic" socket on your PC and you might just be on a winner.
