New Item: HP Integral Personal Computer I am trying to avoid buying any old computer, but a friend of mine and I made an exception in this case and bought this together. Somebody in Prague offered a non-working HP Integral Personal Computer (1985) for $420.

Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 batteries still alive Last summer, I put new set of alkaline batteries in this portable beauty as I needed it for a photoshoot.
