Re: Ordered Focus drive for a2e

["John King" <joki@eskimo.com>]

BTW thanks for helping to organize the FAQ pages, they help a lot.

I was a little reluctant since I like the silence of a fanless Apple, and
have spent more money that I thought I would on my recent Vintage Journey.
But, I remember the change in my Tandy 1000A between floppy and HD. You are
right, it is a BIG leap. In about a week I have created a small stack that I
keep rifling through -- that alone brings back memories.

Hope they continue to make them for future ebay buyers. Nice to have the
option.

Off topic.
Does anyone have a prediction when prices for 2e will start to rise? Like
1,2,5,10 years? Doesn't matter, but I was curious. Seems like the supply is
still full. Someday it won't be, but then someday there will be fewer and
fewer former 2e users.
