(Summary) Wanted: 1 Computer 1 Printer 1 Modem For $150 total. Hello. I am looking for anyone who has a spare computer (or doorstop) they would like to get rid of. I am looking to save money, and am not concerned with modern (1995) speed. In fact, I'll be happy with 1985 speed. I'm thinking of something like: (Specs) A working computer: A Mac classic or Mac Plus, standard memory configuration (for that era), System 6 or higher, 30-meg hard drive or larger, any screen resolution, WordProcessing program and telecommunications software preferred, not required. (Main request: It must work!) A working printer: Any dot-matrix printer. Quality must be good enough to read. This printer shouldn't be so old that I can't find replacement ribbons for it. Aside from that, I don't much care about its speed, DPI, etc. (Main request: It must work!) A working modem: 2400 baud minimum, 9600 baud preferred. (Main request: It must work!) I'll pay the price you want. I'd like to keep it around $150. I understand this is low, but I'm not requesting much. This is going to be a Christmas/Birthday gift for someone who could care less about RISC procesors and modern games... All she needs is word processing and telecommuncation (modem) access. So that's why the speed doesn't matter...But because this will be a gift, It must work!! :) Thanks.. Please let me know by replying or emailing to: acarhart@ucsd.edu If my price is too low, tell me what you are offering and what you want for it. But if you're selling something that's much better than the above configuration, I won't offer much more. -Allan Carhart
