    Compaq Contura 4/25C

    Hi, I just finally found myself a Contura 4/25C. Nothing special maybe, but to me this is one cool machine. The first PC I ever touched was a Contura 3/25 (Which I still have), and this machine is identical, except it is a 486 and it has a color LCD. It's pretty cool to see colors on a machine...

    WTB: Macintosh Plus keyboard

    Hi, I am repairing my Mac keyboard, and I need some spare keyswitches and keycaps. A Mac Plus keyboard would provide with what I need. If you have an Original mac keyboard that would of course also work. ePay did not provide any help regarding this.
