 The IBM PCjr was my first "real"
 computer (following the Timex Sinclair
 1000).  While I know I doubt I'll be able to track one
 down with the 3rd
 party second-story 2nd Floppy drive and memory
 expansion.  I would like to
 have one in my collection for nostalgia's sake.
 
 I'm looking to do this as a trade, as my financial
 situation, has severely
 numbered my days as a "vintage PC hobbyist". Likely, once
 I'm done the
 purge, I'll have maybe 2-3 vintage PC's left, as opposed to
 the rather
 broad collection I have now. I'd like one of them to be a
 well outfitted
 PCjr.
 
 The others to stay, remains to be seen, but likely my Apple
 IIe, and my Mac
 SE/30.
 
 Things have been EXTREMELY difficult for me these past few
 years. In my
 neck, EVERY disc or vertebrae is herniated. In my lower back
 I have two
 herniated discs, and moderate narrowing of the spinal
 column. Meaning in
 the next few years I could lose the ability to walk/drive.
 
 Even with Medicare, the 20% in co-payments needed for me to
 get surgery is
 more than I get in disability in a full year.
 
 I LOVE MY COMPUTERS AND WANT THEM TO HAVE A GOOD HOME.

 Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do.
 Normal Person: So you go surfing?
 Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do
 with knowing a
 lot...
 Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
 Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
