I dunno yet, I am going to clean it up in the next few days and see. The Powerbook was a surprise. When I first booted it it gave me an error, but after that it worked fine. I wish the Commodore was a 128D, they sell for ~$1,200. I'm not sure what this one is worth.

Really? I can get one on eBay here for £120, which must be about 200 dollars.

A D? I'm not certain what makes them collectible.
Looks like NIB is the key
. Mine is used, but very little. Still has the box etc. I wish it had the manual, although I'm not certain it came with one but I'd think it did.

Didn't everything back then come with a full encyclopedia size set of instructions?

You've got me wondering what happened to my old Amiga 500. I'm not sure if my parents left it behind or chucked it out when they moved house and I was at uni.
Never thought about what happened to it til now, although I doubt I used it much after my parents got their Windows 95 machine in 96. The year of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.

My oldest pc's are a k6-II white box clone (now yellow) that came with Win98 on board, and a Powermac 8100 hand-me-down I got in ~1995 that I actually used until 2005 (with a G3 upgrade card), when I replaced it with a 'real' G3 (but did not toss the 8100).
Mrs.D used an IBM AT running DOS on one of her jobs in the late 80s. It was huge and nasty-looking. I cut my teeth on a Mac 128K, with the rad new PhotoShop 2.0 in 1990.

I still have my first computer and ALL of the peripherals. TI-99 4/A with the disk expansion box of doom, tape deck cables, speech synthesizer, all the game cartridges and floppies (although I'm sure they are all junk by now). I have meant to set it up for over a year now but just haven't been that motivated. I used to live on that thing.
