About 95% can be found out on the net at OAK and simtel among others.
I'm sure some even have the CDrom on line. There may be a few peices
that are unique to the cdrom like the viewer/search tools but the rest
are PD or shareware.
As to assembling another there are ways to organize things to make hem
easier to find when they are embedded in compacted collections.

kept everything but the actual machine

Walnut is a CD publisher. Unless they assembled the disc themselves,
then someone else assembled the data and may own the (collection
copyright) rights to reproduction of new CDs. Of course, they may
be looking for a new publisher, or may try to publish it themselves.
Walnut probably dropped it for lack of sales. They like to see at
least 1,000 copies sold a month. If you own a copy of the old CD,
check the credits and I'm sure you can track down the creator.
Or ask Walnut Creek. They might tell you.
It's more cost-effective and less risky these days to do short-run
CDs on CD-R. Still, all-told you can get 1,000 "real" CDs for
$800-$1,500, depending on which options you want.

Well, as mentioned in another message, I've got the machine (not for sale :-))
and probably the ROMs. I could certainly copy the "Welcome" disk. But for
those who don't already know, the "gui" was really just a small collection of
demo programs that sat on top of the O/S, and wasn't terribly functional.

I have the opportunity to get one - cosmetics OK, operation dubious - for
$60.
Is this machine (Osborne Executive) worth picking up, or relatively common?
Thanks

I found compilation VII of Circuit cellar, one from 1986 to 1990 at
the library. Does anyone have "extra" copies of the other ones (though
I don't have all 1986-1990 anyway) that they could give me for less than
the reprints/backissues?

My only predicament being that the next day, I will wander into a thrift
store that is selling them for $3 a piece. No, I meant like stuff that
someone would want essentially to throw away to me :)
BTW, are those 64's the brown or the white ones? Do they come with
boxes, manuals, etc?

I live in Massachussetts. We have plenty of mediocre PCs, half the time
I don't bother. I see mostly XTs at thrift stores, recently I saw a
Compaq Portable. I didn't bother with a Mac 512K, and missed out on an
SE and LC. If any of you see any machines that are not too big, please
ship them to me. I will pay shipping and a few bucks extra. I am
interested in most non-PC or Mac stuff. On my wanted list are:
-Any model Amiga
-A Commodore 64,128,128D (I have all the stuff for the 64 except the
actual unit. I even have a PSU)
-A SMALL Unix station, including NeXT
-Portables, PC or Z80
-Not sure how big a MicroVAX is, but if it is what the name implies
(wasn't it just a tower?), then by all means
-Maybe a CoCo if it has a disk drive
I know most of this stuff isn't much to you people, but I wouldn't mind
them :)

Hello:
Do any of you know if there are any on-line references to the old
80-Micro magazine that was published by Wayne Green back in the 80s
hayday of the TRS-80 computer? Do any of you have any collections of
this magazine for sale?
Thanks,
