The contents (and existence) of this list proves, without possibility of doubt, that I am beyond help.
At any rate, here’s a list of the systems (and gadgets worth noting) I’ve owned through the course of my life and the year, as best I can remember, that I acquired them. There is some overlap of my time with these machines and I have, indeed, occasionally owned the same model more than once.
All linked photos are of the actual hardware I owned at the time. The units listed in boldface are still in my collection.

I have to sell or donate both an original Pet 2001 8K computer (number 79 off the assembly line) that I bought in SF after going to the First Computer Fair at Brooks Hall. It still works like new and has been in my storage all of these years – including the old software for it.
I also have an Amiga 1000 that I bought in PA when it first came out. It has the RGB monitor as well as all of the software and programs that I got back then.
I hate to scrap or sell them in a garage sale, but I am down sizing and need to deal with both PCs. I am wiling to donate them or sell to the right person or group that won’t destroy them. Do you have any ideas. recommendations, or offer any help in doing that???
I’ve tweeted a link to your comment. I imagine a few responses will come. Good luck, and I’m sure they can find a good home.
Warren,
I guess the PET 2001 is gone but maybe I got luck. I am a collector and preserve these vintage computer in my pretty big collection. I own some PET and would be happy to buy your PET 2001.
Achim

I have friends that do not have a computer and are wanting to find an old time word processor? I am not understanding what to look for? Could you tell me what they need to purchase and not use wi fi? My friend says he used to see them with a little screen that popped up on the side??? Have no idea to what they are wanting? Maybe the latest version? I know they want it to also connect to a printer?

I just retrieved back my childhood Amiga 600! I just need to figure out how to get it all hooked up again :). I remember being jealous of the owners of the 500 whenever a game wouldn’t work!
