Mark Twain / ROM4

[Joe <joko@nospam.com>]

As many long-time csa2'ers who were around in the 1990s know, I have one 
of the four or five Mark Twain computers that escaped from Apple. I've had 
it for at least 12 years, but the machine hasn't even been switched on 
for quite a few of those years. 

I would consider selling it to a serious collector.

Alternately, as a piece of unknown Apple II history, I have an hour long 
(perhaps longer) video of me demonstrating the Mark Twain computer to the 
GravenStein Apple IIGS User Group in 1996. Would anyone be interested in 
buying that video if I were to get it transfered to DVD, if it were 
priced at between $5-$10? 

I was just shuffling around in a bookcase, when the forgotten video 
magically appeared. I hadn't even thought of it in years.

I have this rare piece of Apple II hardware that brought me great joy way 
back when, and I'd be willing to wager that some Apple II fanatic/ 
collector might be interested in experiencing that same joy, in using an 
Apple IIGS computer "that could have changed the world."

If there is an interest in the video demonstration, I suppose it's fairly 
routine to get VHS transfered to DVD these days, and I'd do that if 
there's any interest. I'd get a master copy and then burn copies to DVD-R 
myself, holding costs and packaging to a minimum. Anyone interested?

As far as the computer itself, serious collectors only.
