You can set a minimum limit also - so make that 24.

It is 130 miles from El Paso which has fiber.
And looking it up I see per mile estimate for fiber is 80,000. Maybe right of way is allowed because it is a town? Although with Texas who knows.
So only $10,400,000 to lay fiber. But maybe another $10 million to get permission to lay it.

Compare ChatGPT's response to "what keyboards has honey the codewitch mentioned on codeproject.com?" to Edge's new Bing offering. ChatGPT didn't give Das 5QS in its results, but it certainly blew the pants off Bing's response.

If you don't count the PDP-11 I used in 7th-9th grade, Commodore PET - Wikipedia[^] yes, with the chicklet keyboard, was the machine that I started my career on.

Where the heck did you find one, and out of curiosity what did you pay for it? (you don't have to answer, of course)

Ebay is full of them.
I got a deal on this one I bid and got it for $255. Didn't expect to get it at that price.
Comes with 2 5.25 disk drives but no monitor.
The guy I bought it from has been emailing me and telling me the history. He bought it new in 1980 and taught his kid to program on it and the boy has gone on to be become a successful programmer. It has a very low serial number and is in mint condition.

There should be a lot of IIe computers out there because they made a lot of them. And they were expensive so people will tend not to throw it away as long as it was still working when they moved on.

Good one. Long time since I used one of these.

Maybe these guys need to make an Apple II in the same way they're (re)producing the full-sized C64...

I read a while back they where going to start making the C64 and VIC20s again. Nice for us retro guys.

"They" being that same company, yes, they're out there and available. I have their C64 mini (and the A500 mini), and had been waiting for a long time to get ahold of one of the full-size ones. I see they finally have started showing up on Amazon--but for CAD$400 (or USD$300). There's no way I'm paying that sort of money for what is, essentially, the same thing as I already have but in a larger housing. And, well, a working keyboard.
My problem really is software. If I still had my collection, I still might splurge.
Notice how they're avoiding the use of "Commodore" to identify their systems.
