Maybe he wanted to bring it back to the future to sell on eBay. Who knows,
Bill Gates may have wanted to spend anything to get one to round out his
collection.

I doubt it. I took to the tip, an apple 2+ awhile ago. Near me was a
garage sale, the people had a really old computer for sale. I did not
see anyone interested in buying it.

For those unfamiliar with John Titor he was the guy that claimed to be
a soldier from the year 2036 that had to go back to Rochester, MN back
in 1975 to recover an IBM 5100 series computer. Apparently the 5100
had some type of hidden feature that allowed it to translate computer
codes/languages... and that this feature, modified for UNIX, will fix
a problem with UNIX in 2038.

Bwahahaha

The IBM 5100 had 64k of memory and loaded BASIC programs
from a tape drive , the Commodore PET was a marvel of
computing power in comparison.
