Subject: Looking to buy a Model B, Australia
Hi Alan,
Thanks for all the information. I'm in Sydney at the moment, but
travel to Brisbane reasonably frequently too.
I'm after a physical Model B (rather than an emulator) because I'm
deeply fascinated by the hardware. This was the computer I learned to
program on, and has continued to impress me since then.
If anyone decides they have a surplus beeb, I can guarantee that I
would give it a good home.
Regards,
James
