Re: [vcf-midatlantic] this is CRAZY
Lisa stuff has just gone up and up in value. If you want another shock, look up how much Lisa mice sell for. I've never seen a complete one go for less than $300. It took me over 10 years to find mine because I can't justify those prices. On a similar vein, the IR remote for the radio in my Mercedes gets an asking price of $200+ whenever one comes up. I know it's uncommon... but geeze! It's just a remote.... -J On Wed, Mar 15, 2017 at 5:20 AM Ben Greenfield via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
I think the important thing is how to identify a twiggy drive from other drives?

The drives sold for $32,000.

At some point it can just be re-manufactured? I wish Cray stuff would go thermonuclear! Seems like it's mostly Apple, because of Steve Jobs. - Ethan

I remember at VCF (west) back in 2005 or 2006 there was this hot woman dressed in coyboy boots and a hat who had three Lisa with Twiggy drives to exhibit. Wonder what happened to her and them. She stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the computer nerd men. She was something else. I think Evan K and my exhibit (I helped) was next to hers. I had never seen so many Lisas in one place. Bill

I'll tell the rest of that story over a beer with anyone who's interested.
