Wow! You have to be pretty old to have ever even heard of an Osborne 1! A revolution in portable computing -- a 30 lb suitcase! :) I knew Adam Osborne slightly, he was a member of the Berkeley Amnesty International chapter for a while. He became frustrated because Amnesty decision-making moves so slowly -- not nimble and adventurous like innovative entrepreneurial types like Adam.
It should be an interesting evening, sorry I can't make it.

Hey everyone,
Heads up that a donation of really old computers came today. We have good
contact with owner and he is coming by tomorrow. I am leaving it out on the
main table for the hw hacking crowd to check out, but I will be in tomorrow
to move as required for hacking workspace needs. But should be fun to talk
with the donor about all this gear tomorrow night. His name is Tom and he
said he'd come by at 7 and is happy to take back whatever we dont want.
So we should figure out what we want now. Or later and deal with it some
time soon along with all are other ewaste (another discussion...). The big
one todays crowd was excited about was the Osborne 1. But the other stuff
seems sellable but depends on if we can get it turning on.
