['Computer Collector Newsletter']

She said she's in Florida.  Rest assured, Jules, I accepted this for our
local museum, not for my personal collection.

Interesting. I received that exact email direct from the sender yesterday (I
was going to pass it to the list once I was sure our group didn't want it,
although I'm 99.9% certain we don't :-)

The shipping aspect is interesting though - I'd assumed they were at least
in the UK but the email gave no indication of whereabouts except for the
phone number being rather odd for this country.

I'm surprised anyone would be prepared to ship such a machine across the
pond to us at their expense (particularly as presumably it'd need
modification to the PSU to work here, would likely have a different keyboard
layout etc.)

Makes it all sound a little dodgy now, actually!

cheers
