I am new to the net and love it.  I am using a tvi 925 terminal with no memory
or printer.  I am in need of an older (not a total dinosaur, though) computer
with which to store files off the net so as not to continue cluttering up the
hard disk of my host system.

I am also VERY low on cash so I need a miracle!  If you have an unused, 
un-needed DOS 8088 or later, a Mac 512 or later, or even a Commodore 64/128
w/a disk drive that you can spare or sell CHEAP, I would be forever
grateful. I will pay up to $100 shipping on any donated computer, or pick it up
within a 200 mile redius of Chicago (farther for a real sweet deal).  I
promise that this is for personal  usage and not for sale.  I will put
that in writing if you need that.

I prefer the mac first, the DOS second and the com. third.  My only reqirement
is that they be working, have a disk drive and a monitor (unless the
output is composite video), and be 'modem ready' meaning that I can connect my
Avetex 1200 baud modem to them without interface cards or adapters.  

So why not check that closet for that old dusty comuter you upgraded from
and drop me an e-mail with specifics.  Thanks in advance.
