Not everybody could buy them all as they came onto the market. well i certainly could not afford each and every computer from every possible company back then i limited myself to Fidelity and Novag trying to get everyone that was released for the other companies i bought what i could,when i could then with the advent of the internet i was able to fill in the gaps not just by Ebay but by private dealings as well of all of my computers now..i would guesstimate that perhaps 2/3 were bought brand new when first released with the balance bought later dollar wise however its not even close about 75% of my total cost was spent on brand new computers and 25% on the used ones Full Accounting Regards Steve
