Hi all!
Introductions seem like a good idea!
I'm also new to the list... how did I miss it all this time?!
Anyway I'm in the UK so therefore my collection is mainly micro-related stuff
(you know the score - 64, Vic20, Speccy, Vectrex, Odyssey/G7000, many Pong type
consoles, 2600/7800, ZX80/81, Camputers, Sharp, etc etc as well as tabletop LCD
games, game n watch etc).
I work in games development as an artist at EA (no no - don't "BOO" me!!!)
working on PS2 (urgh!).
Right now I'm desperately looking for a good nick Commodore Pet and an Apple II
setup if anyone can offer me one (UK referred to save on shipping costs).
Nice to be in a new community - you guys certainly seem to collect way different
stuff to the UK guys!

Hello:
I am new to this list, so let me introduce myself. I am interested in early
scientific and computing history. As such, I collect early computing
literature and scientific letters. I am also interested in scientific and
engineering Instruments, original and patent models, literature and
illustrations prior to the 19th century. The first computer I learned to
program was a DIGIAC 3080, followed by an early WANG (I'd love to find them
again), and then 360 assembler and PL/1. I am interested in purchasing early
scientific equipment, advertising literature, electromechanical calculators,
vintage computers (Imsai, Altair, TRS80, SOL, Digiac, Scelbi, SWTPC, PET,
and many, many others) and associated literature. I prefer working examples,
but please contact me with a description of what you have available. I'll
pay shipping costs for items of interest or pick up from most areas in the
eastern U.S. I look forward to participating on this list. Thank you for
reading this.
