Tom,

I did some resaleing back then, also. When I got out of that part of the business, I held onto a dual floppy system that had cost me $4500 (wholesale).

Over the years I'd open the closet where I kept it and get a little sick just thinking about what it cost me. I finally had enough a couple months ago, and put it out with the trash. It was made by Eagle Computer...one of the first companies that IBM ran out of business through a Copyright lawsuit on Eagles PC compatible line of computers.
