Go up one level in this thread



Martin
i consider it an originally released Dedicated module set
not by a major manufacturer but this is not the criteria
it has to be be released for sale to the general public and not  a computer that
was originally released and then modified
i have no problem welcoming it in my collection with open arms

i do wonder however how the Resurrection will impact the value of the Tasc R40
as you well know the R40 was the highest rated computer ever released for sale..
now this will no longer be true
i imagine the value of the R40 could decline but this has no interest to me if
it does

it will be interesting however to see what offers i get from collectors for the
R40 after the Resurrections release

not a week goes by that i am not contacted by someone i dont even know to sell
the R40 as well other rare computers.generally i do not even reply if i dont
even know the person
if i do know them i of course decline
so i will be curious to see if the offering prices will go down



also i am seriously thinking of buying another Resurrection when Ruud provides
the update to the program in the summer

as a collector i will always want to have the very first version of the
Resurrection and for the upgrades perhaps another module set

Best
Steve
