See here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5110404614) for the [now-ended] auction.

Check out some of the other stuff the guy has/had (a lot of his auctions are ending in the next few mins)

Ahhh...  That brings back memories.  While I never had a Kim-1, I did spend hundreds of hours typing in hex on a Kim-2.  Of course once you finished spending 3 or 4 hours typing in a program, you would play it for 20 or 30 minutes, and decide that another program looked more interesting, so you would shut it off and start typing again.

I didn't have one of those fancy smancy permenent storage devices. :-o

It kills me every time I think that there were games for the Amiga that took two floppies (let's round it up to 2 megs of storage space).  I would rather play those and would have more fun with them than some of these damn games now for the PC/Mac that come on 2 CDs!  Games now rely so heavily on movies (whether digitized or rendered) that the game play sucks.  I don't want to go back to the C=64 days of typing in 8 pages of machine language either, but I am so very glad that I still kept my Amiga and all the games.
