Would anyone like a couple of middle-aged Victor "laptop" computers?
Only about 30 years old, condition: dusty.
286 and 386 processors!

Or can anyone suggest what to do with them without being too obscene?
(I suspect they will only be of interest to nerds or historians. The 286 has a 20MB, that's megabyte, hard drive)

Do you have any doors which swing shut and you'd like to keep open?

school or college art department for use in technology inspired art work and sculptures? I find the older stuff looks nicer with proper big components.

Have a nose on ebay to see if they have any historic value but I doubt it 🙁 but ebay is quite good at showing up if people are looking for stuff. I have an old Z80 machine (Exidy Sorceror) that I keep purely for emotional reasons - it has no commercial or any other value. I'm not even sure I should keep it really.

edit: well there you go. Turns out the Sorceror (in a box which I have) is on ebay for $2000. I'm assuming this is along the same lines as some of the 'bikes' that we see on ebay
