Went down to FOPAL at 9am to meet with Frank and decide what to do about some bulky hardware items. People donate stuff like this, we don’t normally take it but somehow these items were accepted. Now do we want to try to sell them at VCF? I am concerned about how we really don’t have enough table space for our books let alone these things. Specifically two modern-ish office typewriters. From the 80s, I would guess? Daisy-wheel printers with keyboards and some amount of brains, little LCD screen with menus. 20 or 30 bucks on ebay. We decided we would maybe bring them the second day, if we sold enough stuff on the first day to make room on our table.
The other item was an original Osborne 1 computer. The person who donated it told somebody that it was working. It isn’t, now. We powered it up. The screen lit up and it spun the floppy disk we loaded in the A drive, but it didn’t display anything or try to boot from the disk. So we will take it and offer it at $100 as-is.
Talked about some other things. Later in the day I made some “all sales as-is, no returns” signs. Tomorrow I have nothing to do, yay; then Thursday the busy part starts.
Talked briefly to Dennis; Toni is not well at all.
