>I still have my North Star computer, sitting in the corner of the office in the orginal cardboard box in which it was shipped. I have been very careful to keep it in a controlled climate, so as not to ruin the 30 Meg hard drive which was a $5,000 upgrade to the system. If I took it out of its box and started it up, I bet it would come right up.

>I eventually brough into a star network with wy50+ and televedio 924 terminals connected to the North Star. Each terminal had its own Z8080 with 64K of memory. That North Star really worked, and it was very fast using the star network model. Everything sent over the network was text, whcih made it almost as fast as graphic systems today. I used a modem (eg 300, then 1200) to call the system from the house and access Dbase II to make inquiries.
