Somebody is an IDIOT. We need some real journalism.
First of all the Centsible page is not only in jibberish, it leaves out facts, and seems to mislead.
For example....
:-x Who is this "PC Hardware company"?
:-) Why is no contact info given for "The Management Company"?
:-x After being put in dumspters, where did they go, specifically? I think Calif disallows landfilling such things.
We need a campaign against this company and maybe Centsible for NOT doing more to alert people BEFORE they turned down the lot. There should have been public pressure to donate them to any interested parties.
:-) Also these don't look like CBM 8000's to me.
http:// http://www.centsible.com/l.html They look like the CBM Colt (their IBM clone). Hard drives? The CBM 8000 didn't use them. Even the screen was all wrong. The case sure as hell was wrong.
The only thing I can think is that Centsible doesn't know one machine from another. Kinda sad when they took the time to put the pics on their site. But it would fit-- people who let this stuff happen (IE they could have rallied users via the net) are the same types who would't know an x86 box from a 6502 box (OK, so the processors do have a lot in common but...)
