[sebhc] Software Engineer & selling H89

[Erik S. Klein]

With regards to selling your H89:

If you're looking for top dollar then eBay or the Vintage Computer
Marketplace (marketplace.vintage.org) are your best bets for auctions or
fixed-price sales.

If you are looking to find another hobbyist that would provide a good
home (but who might pay less then at auction) then this list, the
classic computer list (www.classiccmp.org) or my Vintage Computer Forums
(www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum) would also be an option.

Best of luck!

Subject: [sebhc] Software Engineer & selling H89

I can't help but throw in my solution to this. When I went back to grad
school, I got an MS in Computer Engineering. This kept me in the
electronics
engineering arena, as well as being accepted as a computer
science/programmer type guy. All this was prompted by my getting into
teaching - industry did not care what degrees I had (math degree in my
case), they just wanted for me to be able to do the job well (which I
did).
In entering teaching, I found that the degree was more important than
the
knowledge! Sad but true. Incidentally, I also had (still have) a
Professional Engineering License from the state of California, but that
did
not impress most schools (except for Oregon Institute of Technology).

On another topic, I have been thinking of selling my original H89 that I
used to develop all the  Anapro/Analytical Products hardware and
software
on. I found this list through a contact on e-bay where some H89 were
being
sold. If I should decide to part with my machine, what is the best way
to
find it a proper buyer? Thanks for any suggestions.
