Steve, interesting post, thanks a lot. I never thought of offering another collector to buy any of their computers without having a clue that they want sell. Even less so if I happen not to know them. Re the R40 price you could be right that it could decline a little bit, maybe even the R30 will as well. If I had the R40 I'd never consider selling it either, although I must confess that since Ruud announced his Resurrection my determination to get one got much weaker (but the fact that I already own a R30 helped in this respect even more). The idea buying a second Resurrection is intersting too. However, don't you think that it probably always will be possible to load the original program into your first module too? I mean it's not like changing the Eproms (which is easy enough, I've done it several times already). So I'll probably wait and see first before planning to buy a second one (if it will be possible at all - I think Ruud said something about a limit of 25 units...).
