Wow, that’s a deal. I’m going to buy one, play it for a week, sell it, and then try to buy it back.

Just kidding about that.

But it is quite a deal.

Hey significant other person, I can buy it, then buy it back really cheap. It’s a steal.

Seriously, I bet the used market is higher. It’s a good deal

Who? Dunno. What? Well, crash test dummies sometimes, as well as the CPR training dummies. Also old beige PCs that have sat in a sunny office too long.

I owned many. I learned programming on an 800 when I was 11, and did it from then on, which eventually became a career. An 800XL actually got me through college. I eventually donated my last one to a computer museum.

Yup, I started programming on one in high school and skipped college (sorry Mom) and got a job as a programmer and never looked back. Don’t miss the acoustic coupler or cassette backups, but they had the best PacMan and Tie Fighter games
