The work shows... you computers look great!  I look forward to seeing the

My dream and drool list:
     Bell and Howell A2e, original Apple II, working Apple 3,
     ...and now a IIe upgraded to IIgs.
I think I have most other Apple IIs... but I'm still in
search of the tough finds.  :)
    Guess I should keep haunting eBay....
