Did you know the oldest public access Unix system M-NET / arbornet.org are now maintained by SDF.ORG?

M-NET currently enjoys preservation thanks to Dan Cross here under FreeBSD but the ALTOS still exists

I noticed a price tag on this Apple IIc box: December 18, 1987, $949.00

IMHO, that is pricey for a computer that came out in 1984! This was just for the computer, no monitor or mouse.
